DMC Presents a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV-Style Rear Wing for the Gallardo


Not all supercar makers tend to the special requests of customers. Such was the case of a Chinese owner of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 who approached the Italian automaker in order to fit his car with the rear wing of a Murcielago LP670 SuperVeloce (SV).

Lamborghini denied the request, even though money was reportedly not the problem. The unnamed Chinese owner then approached German tuning firm DMC for a custom solution.

Lamborghini Gallardo Driver Revs, Loses it, gets Wedged Between Two Cars, All in Chicago


And the facepalm of the day goes to the amazing driver of a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo coupe who succeeded in drawing a whole lot of attention to himself while turning on a quiet street in a suburb of Chicago.

After showing the world how well he handles the gas pedal in neutral offering by-passers the opportunity to relish the glorious sounds of the exotic supercar's V10 engine, the green light came on and off he (or she, we can't say for sure) went to display his driving prowess.

Head past the break to see what happened next in the video that follows.

Make Your Car Sound Like a Lamborghini Gallardo for only 99¢ [Videos]


True, there are some ways to make your car's engine sound more sonorous, but there's really so much you can do for example to a Chevy Aveo or a Toyota Prius.

Furthermore, with a starting price of 99 cents, 2XCL Games' new XLR8 (get it; accelerate) sounds like a sweet bargain compared to the cost(s) of an actual mechanical component.

The XLR8 is an app available for Apple's iPhone and iPad as well as Android phones and tablets that promises to make your vehicle sound like an exotic Italian supercar, a muscle car or even a racing model.

After you download the application and place the phone in your vehicle, you simply connect the device to the audio system and you're ready to go – just don’t forget to roll up your windows…

"Once secured inside your vehicle, XLR8 uses the accelerometers of your device to realistically respond to acceleration, braking and cornering forces," explains the software provider. "It supports both cabled and wireless Bluetooth audio connections to your car stereo."

Amazing Video Shows Stunt Plane Racing Lamborghini Gallardo, is it Real?


This breathtaking video of a Lamborghini Gallardo racing an aerobatics stunt plane popped up online and grabbed our attention immediately, and all for good reason.

What's amazing about this race is that the airplane is actually filmed flying less than 10 feet (3 meters) from the ground, almost touching the Lamborghini with its wing.

While it looks to be real, we can't be 100 percent sure as we have yet to find any information on where and when this alleged stunt race took place.

If any of you happen to know something, leave us a message in the comments section below.

Mazda MX-5 Almost Crashes Into a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera


Driving an exotic supercar like the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera through a parade of modded cars and an equally crazy crowd of people in a parking lot is just about as wise as taking your date to a sausage fest: someone is bound to hit on your gal.

And this is what almost happened to the owner of the white Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera when the driver of a second generation Mazda Miata wanted to show off with a little burnout that didn't go as planned just barely missing the Italian exotic.

Watch the short clip right past the jump.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and Wet Roads Don't Mix…


While a nice quiet back road with some twist and turns is ideal for those that want to enjoy their car, if rain makes its presence and always depending on the driver and the type of vehicle, the ride can become more of a hassle, if not something even worse, than a pleasure.

This was the case for one of the drivers in a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder that attended a so-called "dream car tour" in New York when a bad storm hit the area.

We don't know the exact causes of the accident, but the Gallardo Spyder ended flipping over a ditch. The Italian supercar was completely destroyed.

YouTube user Jason Thorgalsen captured the aftermath of the incident when the tow truck crew was trying to get the Lamborghini up on the road on video. His description of the incident, which fortunately didn't result to any deaths, follows below:

Meet Optimus, a Monstrous Dodge Ram 3500 Truck with 1,200HP and Over 2,000 lb-ft


We've shown you a lot of insane pickup trucks on these pages but this one is quite the find - and not only because it has the potential to emit as much CO2 as a small country with every sudden move of your right foot.

Nicknamed Optimus, the heavily modified Dodge Ram 3500 truck is powered by a twin turbocharged Cummins diesel engine that churns out a whopping 1,200 horsepower and an even more mind-blowing 2,000+ lb-ft (2,711Nm) of peak torque! A pretentious beast indeed.
