Lamborghini test drive the Veneno Roadster.

It’s good to see Bruce Wayne getting away from Gotham for the weekend to take one of his toys for a spin. Wait a second – that’s not Batman; it is just a Lamborghini test driver taking the Veneno coupe for a spin on the track.

Really though, watching someone cane the Veneno on a very wet Vallelunga track is just about as exciting as seeing the caped crusader.

The Veneno, though, is a cut above just another supercar. Only four Veneno coupes were built, and each of the three that were sold cost a sweet $4,000,000. The one we see in the video belongs to Lamborghini, and its track-day outing was to help woo customers for the release of the Veneno Roadster.

And let me tell you; if what we see in this video is any indication of what it would be like to own a Veneno roadster, then you can sign me up for one now. When the driver of the Veneno stamps on the throttle as he goes down the pitlane, the sound is, well, incredible. It sounds like Thor, god of thunder, is roaring as he is being fed into the turbines of an F-22 Raptor. And, as I already suggested, the Veneno looks more like it belongs in comic book than the real everyday world.

Good news for all of us that were won over by Lambo’s marketing: Lamborghini is planning on a much, much larger run of Roadsters … nine of them, in fact. But don’t worry; they are a steal at just $4,500,000.

Lamborghini finally finish the series of “teasers”.

Lamborghini has finally released a video of its newest car the Huracan in action. It’s actually the fourth in a series of videos, and as you may recall I was not a fan of the first three. This one does redeem the series somewhat, but that’s only because the Huracan is absolutely stunning.

If you haven’t seen the first three videos, and believe me you shouldn’t, they follow the three stupidest Brits in the world on their distinctly non-epic quest to break into the Lamborghini factory to get a look at the new Huracan. Oddly enough, the videos are called the “Hexagon Project”, even though there are four, not six of them. Though, I am just glad I didn’t have to watch two more.

Lamborghini Aventador cooks Christmas lunch.

If you are already thinking about how to cook your Christmas bird next year take a look at this clip.  A Lambourghini Aventador LP760 Oakley Design could do the work for you.

A man named Shmee, a.k.a. Tim, filmed himself in an ugly Christmas sweater trying to cook a turkey with the more than $400,000 car. He stands behind the car holding the turkey while an unknown driver revs the engine.

“We’ve got the most perfect turkey cooking car you could possibly imagine,” says Shmee. Because that’s something everyone imagines doing during the holidays.

Things don’t seem to go quite as planned. The car manages to throw a couple of flames and the camera switches back and forth from the car’s tachometer to Shmee awkwardly holding the turkey to the car’s exhaust pipe. The turkey still looks raw when the camera cuts to Shmee with some fully cooked turkey.

“A short while later and a lot of flames, we have one cooked turkey,” says Shmee. “So it’s time to try a bit. Perfect. Time to go home for Christmas lunch.”

If you do happen to have a Lambourghini in the driveway and want to try this at home, make sure you’ve outfitted the car with teeny-tiny reindeer antlers.

Two Ferrari LaFerrari, the car that money just cant buy, seen in Monaco.

Seeing a Ferrari LaFerrari is something, but spotting two of them is like getting hit by the lightning twice and this can most likely happen in just a few cities around the world.

The Italian supercars in question have been finished in two shades, Rosso (red) and the Nero Daytona (black). Say whatever you wish about this supercar but this is one of the best money can buy these days, along with its competition, the McLaren P1 or the Porsche 918 Spyder.

The Ferrari LaFerrari is the company’s first ever hybrid supercar and it has been officially presented to the public during the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, back in March. The model in question is taking its power from an 800 HP (588 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque 6.3 liter V12 engine, backed up by a 163 HP (120 kW) and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) electric motor. The assembly is good for a total of 963 HP (708 kW). The 0 to 100 km/h sprint takes less than 3 seconds and top speed stands at beyond 350 km/h (217 mph).

Following the viral Jaguar / Chicken ad, this shows Mercedes Benz does have a sense of humour.

This compilation of adverts released from Mercedes Benz over the last few years prove that they do have a great sense of humour and shows that despite the recent “win” by Jaguar with the chicken advert, they continue to make clever adverts that push home the message that they are the amongst the most comfortable, reliable and best looking cars in the world.

 

Sit back and enjoy.

Third Teaser Video from Lamborghini.

The three annoying boys are back in the third of the teasers for the replacement Gallardo.

Lamborghini is back with a new video teasing its supercar destined to replace the Gallardo, which recently ceased production. Expected to be called the Cabrera or Huracan or perhaps something else entirely, the new supercar should be revealed soon as suggested by the title of the latest teaser video, Getting Closer.

The video is the third from Lamborghini’s strange Hexagon Project marketing campaign. The first tease was of the sound of the new car’s exhaust note, which isn’t an unusual teaser for the type of high-performance cars you expect from a brand like Lamborghini.

But then the Hexagon Project became a series of pointless videos featuring three annoying lads from the U.K. who travel to the Lamborghini factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese to get an unauthorized look at the car. The first video saw the lads reach their destination, the second saw them sneak into the building and this third one has them reach the production floor. Unfortunately, we still don’t get a glimpse of the car.

Lamborghini’s new supercar, which will compete against the likes of the McLaren 12C and Ferrari 458 Italia, will use a revised version of the Gallardo’s chassis and engine, most likely in combination with a dual-clutch transmission instead of the previous e-gear automated manual.

As with the Gallardo, all-wheel drive will be standard, but Lamborghini may release certain rear-wheel-drive models in the future.

Peak output should come in at 600 metric horsepower, meaning a 592-horsepower rating here in the U.S.

Lamborghini and Blancpain, the similarities.

Blancpain is closely tied with Lamborghini and this is a lovely mini documentary produced by Watches.TV to show the intricacy of producing both machines, the cars and the watches.

The Watches.TV founder Marc André Deschoux makes some very interesting comparisons between large mechanics and small mechanics by drawing parallels between Lamborghini and Blancpain. Watch this five-minute video report taking you inside both factories and providing some unexpected views of how high-end mechanics are conceived and manufactured

Ferrari LaFerrari Spotted in Monaco

We are delighted to be able to let you see a short video of a Ferrari LaFerrari actually being driven on the street, not as part of an exhibition or press gathering.

Together with Dubai, Monaco is one of the places where the supercar population threatens to exceed the human one. Thus, it was about time to see a Ferrari LaFerrari hit the city’s streets.

An example of the LaFerrari was recently spotted in Monaco, with the hypercar going for a midnight drive. The video below, as well as the adjacent images show us the hybrid Prancing Horse.

Taking one of the 499 units of the LaFerrari on the streets make up the Monaco GP, as well as in other parts of the city, is guaranteed to turn heads like some sort of magnet. By the way, we’d like to remind you that the Italians are still testing various tech bits and pieces using the LaFerrari.
