Versace Ltd. Edition Lamborghini to be Available in Fall

The limited-edition Lamborghini by Versace which we first wrote about plans for in 2006 is finally going into production for fall. The car, which will be a convertible in contrast to the coupe originally developed, will be a bright pastel white with a black-and-white leather interior. The price of the special-order Murciélago LP 640 Roadster Versace has yet to be named, but expect to pay a healthy premium above the model's already hefty base price of $358,000. The V12 roadster, designed by Donatella Versace and just unveiled in Milan during Men's Fashion Week, will feature a see-through engine bay cover and the fashion house's signature Greek key motif on the doors, front fascia and nappa leather seats. Versace has also designed an accompanying line of black calfskin accessories including luggage, wallet, gloves, driving shoes, hat and even a pair of leather jeans all bearing an engraved metal Lamborghini Versace tag.

The Lamborghini Reventon In Flight

Posted Jun 13th 2008 7:02AM by Rigel Gregg
Filed under: Wheels, Wings

Talk about bizarre, Lamborghini recently enlisted the help of the Italian military (don't they have anything better to do?) to fly one of their rare and uber-expensive Lamborghini Reventon cars over the town of Turin and land it on the roof of the Lingotto building, where they were having a conference titled "Lamborghini and speed, a project in record time." And record money too I bet.

The only explanation Lamborghini gave to curious onlookers was "all 20 units (of the Reventon) have been sold worldwide." I guess that since they were each priced at over $1.5 million that is a big deal, but who came up with this idea?

Lamborghini To Launch Pre-Owned Program

Filed under: Wheels

You know you should drive a hybrid, but you know you want something more upscale. Like, say, a Lamborghini. Spend a little less and get all the quality with a pre-owned Lamborghini. The company is developing a certified pre-owned program that should launch by the end of the year. According to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the program will be rolled out worldwide, beginning with dealers in the United States and Europe. Inspection and certification details have not yet been released, but sales will only be allowed through authorized Lamborghini dealers.

Batman's OTHER Ride

Posted May 11th 2008 4:02PM by Rigel Gregg
Filed under: Wheels

So what does a superhero like Batman drive in situations when the Batmobile is just too obvious? A 640hp Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, of course. In the movie trailer for The Dark Knight (due out this summer) Bruce Wayne chooses the Lamborghini over the Batmobile in an attempt to be more subtle driving through town in the middle of the day. What did you expect? A Civic Hybrid? Lamborghini is apparently very proud to be associated with a franchise like Batman, saying in a statement "The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 is the natural choice for Bruce Wayne's other car."

I have to admit, it does fit!

Jenna Jameson's Lamborghini on eBay

Jenna Jameson's bright yellow 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago is currently up for sale on eBay. It has a 6 speed V12 6.2 engine with less than 12,000 miles on it, plus a few nice personalized touches like an aftermarket exhaust system and a touchscreen stereo. It's a sweet looking car and sounds really fun to drive, although I admit I wouldn't be too crazy to sit in the same seat as a famous porn star! But that's just me -- I'm sure it's a great celebrity investment. The auction is ending pretty quick so you gotta get moving if you want in on this, it's currently at $182,900 with only 3 bids.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

Filed under: Wheels

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!

A Lamborghini iPhone?

Although not produced by Apple, the ZX1 Lamborghini PDA phone by ASUS looks and acts much like the iPhone. Expected to be announced at the CeBit tech show in Germany this month, the high-tech phone claims to have touch-screen access, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity, and will run with either Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Pro or Windows Mobile 6.1. I'm not sure if customers are expected to buy the car to go with their fancy new phone, but the handheld piece alone with cost you ... about $950-$1,000.

Tina Turner's Mercedes-Powered LM002 For Sale

Tina Turner wasn't messing around when she went shopping for a vehicle. In true rock-and-roller style, she opted for a Lamborghini (a LM002 to be exact) and had it retro-fitted and personalized with a Mercedes E500 V8 automatic transmission, a 1500-Watt Blaupunkt stereo, and lots of other aesthetic touches. The big news here is not that Tina Turners owns this vehicle, but that she's selling it. It's currently on the market for Є179,000, and although I'm hardly an expert at appraising vehicles that seems like a pretty good deal.

Whether you own one of these luxury vehicles, or wish you could, the key pendants from Imperial Craftwork should be on your wish list. Choose the auto logo you desire from ten options, select sterling silver, sterling with white gold plating, or pure platinum, and add some panache to your keys for $130 and up. The only unfortunate thing is your gift may be on hold for a bit -- the only style in stock was the Audi pendant. Guess there is always Valentine's Day or St. Paddy's! (Any occasion is good for a gift).

Lamborghini Christmas Collection

For me the holiday season really starts to hit once November comes and Halloween is over and everything switches to Thanksgiving in a big way. But it seems to be getting an early start this year thanks to Lamborghini launching its collection of Christmas goodies this week. There are bright orange Christmas ornaments inspired by the Gallardo Superleggera, a set of orange candles bearing the Lamborghini shield, and a set of 20 Christmas cards featuring the Lamborghini Reventón. And there's even Lamborghini stuff for the kiddies: coloring books and crayons perfect for stuffing in stockings.

The Amazing Tattooed Lamborghini

Now that's a paint job. If a Lamborghini itself isn't enough a work of art for you, there's always tattooing it beyond almost all recognition. The Gallardo you see before you is an intricate work of art, with drawings of everything from the planets and stars to attack birds and angular patterns.

Of course, at a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds thanks to the massive V10 under the hood, the only time one can truly admire it is while parked.

Lamborghini Reventon - All Sold Out

Filed under: Wheels

What do a fighting bull that gored a famous bullfighter in 1943 and a $1.68 million V12 Lamborghini have in common? Why, a name, of course.

The Reventon, powered by a 650-horsepower 6.5L V-12 and wrapped in CFC carbon fiber composite, has harsh, angular lines down to the spiky arrow nose. With just 20 slated for production and each one of them spoken for, the Reventon is reserved for only the richest, most exclusive customers, but the rest of the world gets to look at it, at least, as it sits on the show floor at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week.
