The identity of the buyer, for now, remains unknown but the sale figure was confirmed by Lamborghini’s CEO, Stephen WInkelmann, as being €2.1m (AU$2.66m). In return the buyer received one of the [...]
Lamborghini has sold its soul to the SUV devil and come up with this Urus concept, revealed in Beijing today. Although, for now it’s something of a vision statement for a probable launch in 2015. It’s the Lambo the whole family can enjoy, apparently. But only if your family stops at four. Lambo has announced [...]

We update you with the rather upsetting news that a menacing Lamborghini Aventador has apparently self-immolated on a Southern Californian highway. Supposedly this somewhat unperturbed chap is the owner of the sorry looking Aventador behind him. At this stage it’s not totally clear what happened or what set the fire off, other than an official [...]

Just when you thought a German hatchback was a bit radical Lamborghini stands up and slaps you in the face with a 700hp dose of reality. This is the Aventador J, “a force of nature on wheels” Lamborghini claim. Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini says, “With the Lamborghini Aventador J, we have molded [...]
It’s expected Lamborghini will be bringing an Aventador Roadster to the Geneva Motor Show. But this Aventador-based creation seems to have caught most people off guard. With a slightly oddball title of Aventador J Speedster, we’re led to believe, it sounds a bit like a lead actor from a Hollywood B movie. Note the lack [...]
There’s a bit of speculation around suggesting Lamborghini will reveal two new models at the Geneva Motor Show in March. One is expected to be a Roadster version of the Aventador. It’s said the Roadster will feature a retractable carbon fibre roof. Also in the mix is the chance Lamborghini could reveal an SUV, complete [...]
David Dopp, a 34-year-old truckie from Utah in the United States, went from zero to hero when he won a Lamborghini Murcielago in a convenience store promotion. Bravo him.

We thought the Super Trofeo Stradale was going to be the last iteration in the successful Gallardo model range for Lamborghini. But they have managed to squeeze out another one with the LP 550-2 Spyder. The key is in the 550-2 model designation, that’s 550hp from the well loved 5.2 litre V10 and a 2 [...]
Jason White’s Lamborghini Gallardo is a crowd favourite on the Australian tarmac rally scene. Always competitive and always spitting a few flames out the back. But it’s not very often that he wins a rally while his car is genuinely on fire. That’s exactly what happened on the weekend when he took out the 2011 [...]
