Lamborghini Plans One-Make Race Series

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Events

Lamborghini is planning a single-make race series and the star of the show will be a competition-spec Gallardo LP560-4 called the Super Trofeo. It's all decked out with race-specific goodies like special adjustments to the chassis, ABS brakes, and wheels plus a more powerful 570hp engine (weee!). The series starts in May and each race will include 30 cars owned privately and by dealer teams, plus one celebrity-driven vehicle that will change at each event. €200,000 will get you in with a car and parts package, plus trackside support and admission to the luxury Lamborghini Village at each location.

Italian Police Get New Lamborghini

I've seen the occasional Mustang or Camaro police car before and thought that the cop driving it must feel pretty special, but that's nothing compared to how awesome the Italian police must feel: they just got a brand new Lamborghini Gallardo.

The Gallardo LP560-4 is all decked out with the usual police decals and lights, plus they managed to squeeze in all the high tech police equipment like radio and video equipment, gun racks, and even a cooler (for body parts?!).

It's not Italy's first law enforcement Lamborghini (Rome has had one for awhile) but still! Pretty awesome.

R�sidence Sup�rieur "Extreme Luxury" Concept

Financial whiz turned "lifestyle designer" Richard Nilsson apparently felt that plain old luxury had lost its luster, so he decided to focus on "extreme luxury." When he was running a business empire Nilsson was only able to take one week off per year, so for his first project he came up with the "Résidence Supérieur" concept as an ultimate retreat where vacationing moguls and movie stars could pack as much luxury and privacy into their vacation as possible, cost be damned.

The first RS is the Villa Oxygene in Cannes on the French Riviera. In addition to ultra-luxe surroundings, it includes exotic sports cars, a private jet and helicopter, yacht, butler, chef, bodyguards and basically anything else you could wish for. Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria recently shot an ice cream commercial there, and Nilsson is now planning other equally outrageous outposts. See the gallery for pix.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

The latest Lamborghini, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, sure is a beauty. It's an updated version of the 5 year old Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, and among other things is a little lighter, has a new engine (the same one the Audi RS6 Avant has), and of course some updated styling to the exterior. New headlights, a completely redone rear end, and some new intakes top the list of body tweaks.

The engine upgrade combined with the lost weight (it weighs 44lbs less than the Superleggera) would make for some seriously fast and fun springtime driving, which for me (here in the Midwest) would be perfectly timed with the roads clearing of all the icy spots!

The Ultimate Centerpiece

Ice sculptures, wine decanters and even table jewels are nothing compared to the table centerpiece unearthed at Autoblog. The display features a bright green Lamborghini Gallardo balanced atop four teacups in front of the William Ashley store in Toronto to promote a contest for a set of fine China -- the very same China supporting the 3,153-lb. vehicle. We're still wondering why they aren't including the car in the contest, since performance vehicles generally have very little to do with tableware, even though we wouldn't object if given the chance to have such a centerpiece at our own table.
