Lamborghini Murcielago "Bat" by JB Car Design

The Lamborghini Murcielago may be on its way out, an all-new model coming in to replace it shortly. But before it does, JB Car Design has released a series of modifications to set it apart from every other.

Most obvious is the body kit, which includes a new bumpers and spoilers front and rear and side skirts in between, giving the Murcielago an appearance closer to that of the million-dollar Reventon. Power upgrades are available in the form of 710 or 750 horsepower (up from the stock 640), and the interior has been refitted with special leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber trim. Only 75 sets of the body kit will be made, and the rest can be ordered individually.

Diageo Inaugurates £40 Million Roseisle Mega-Distillery

Filed under: Spirits

Some will lament it as the industrialization of scotch whisky production. Others will hail it as the answer to growing demand for scotch around the world. But whichever way you look at it, Diageo's enormous Roseisle distillery is now up and running.

Culling expertise from the 27 distilleries currently owned by the drinks consortium, Roseisle is the product of three years of construction. It cost Diageo £40 million to build, employs 25 workers and encompasses 3,000 square meters of space. On the premises Diageo expects to produce 10 million liters of whisky each year through fourteen new stills crafted by the coppersmiths at Abercrombie, Alloa.

The Speyside facility was built not to replace the individual distilleries under the Diageo umbrella, but to supplement them, in response to increased market demand which those distilleries have been struggling to meet. The spirits produced there will be used in Diageo's profile of blended whiskies, which include Johnnie Walker, J&B, Bell's and Black & White. No plans have been announced to ever bottle a single malt from Roseisle, but you never know what time may bring.
