Lamborghini Aventador Roadster Is Raging Bull At Its Best

November 12, 2012 By Inside Lane Leave a Comment

The raging bull is the physical embodiment of automotive passion, adrenaline and style. Each car makes a statement to the world… “We are Lamborghini, we don’t do things like the others, take note.” Having long been the focal point of every child’s bedroom wall and every adults dreams, Lamborghini has ascertained a position in the market that makes them truly legendary. Today the Italians show the world what is sure to become a future classic.

This automotive sculpture you see before you is the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. Breathtaking to look at with such aggression molded into every angle. It is a car with clear intent. Packing the same 690BHP 6.5 litre V12 engine as the coupe, the new machine features a two piece hard top that can be stowed in the boot. This is a welcome change from the unfathomable canvas top of the Murcielago. Performance is almost untouched from the standard car with 0-62MPH being done and dusted in just 3 seconds.

Set to cost just over £290,000+ taxes, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster will arrive in showrooms next summer.

2013 Lamborghini Gallardo is Same-Old

September 26, 2012 By Inside Lane Leave a Comment

Don’t get me wrong… The Lamborghini Gallardo is a fantastically capable machine, however, if we are witnessing a new generation of supercars then this raging bull is very much last seasons machine. It has had various updates throughout its product lifecycle; more power, updated trim and the like. The cars long overdue successor is set to debut in 2014 but until then we shall just have to make do, I say make do as if that’s a bad thing, with a refreshed 2013 model.

So, what’s new? Not a lot is the answer, in fact every model except for the LP560-4 is identical in every way to last years car. The LP560-4 itself gains nothing in the performance department but does receive some styling tweaks. The front bumper is much more aggressively styled adding some rakish angles and a smattering of intakes. The rear fascia is very angular and also reveals more of the baby bulls diffuser.

Lamborghini hopes this will quench your thrust until they say goodbye to their best selling model.

Lamborghini Aventador J Is Childhood Dream

March 6, 2012 By Inside Lane Leave a Comment

Remember when you were a kid where a blank sheet of paper and a pencil were the greatest inventions. You could draw whatever your imagination came up with. Lamborghini are the masters of these beyond creative designs and the Lamborghini Aventador certainly captured the attention of the 6 year old within us. With the Aventador J, the Italians have fed their designers plenty of E numbers.

It looks like something fresh from fiction, the Lamborghini Aventador J is in fact a functioning machine. It is not a concept car but it is a one-off. Take the standard Aventador and hack off its roof, remove any form of luxury item, and add carbon fibre. The 700BHP 6.5 litre V12 now lives 4 inches from your ear and with a lack of a roof, or windscreen for that matter, it will be screaming directly into your eardrum to over 186MPH.

Lamborghini Gallardo Successor In The Works

January 30, 2012 By Inside Lane Leave a Comment

The raging bull has been the only company to take on the mighty prancing horse and win. The machines born to spite Ferrari are just as prestigious at their Italian rival and that is all down to that raw fizz produced by Lambo DNA. Ferrari’s 458 is quite the machine and in comparison the Gallardo does look a bit tired. But never fear as Lamborghini promise a successor.

The Gallardo is the brands most successful model ever, mainly due to endless special editions, but after almost a decade it needs to up its game. The cars replacement model has been confirmed to be on its way but it is “at least two years down the road” according to Lamborghini’s CEO. We may see a glimpse of the car in concept form at Geneva, but one thing we can say for sure is that the baby bull will NOT be turbocharged.

I guess we are just going to have to wait it out with a few more Gallardo special editions…

Lamborghini Reveal Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder

November 17, 2011 By Inside Lane Leave a Comment

Lamborghini often has the preconception of being pure rage in car form. Born out of spite and forged with adrenaline, describing one as a raging bull is commonplace. Yet, these days driving a Lamborghini isn’t much of a task at all. In fact its about as easy as an Audi and a far cry from Lambo’s of old where one mistake resulted in a painful death. But here is one for the purists out there…

This is the Lamborghini LP550-2 Spyder. It is basically a drop-top variant of the astonishing Valentino Balboni. This means the car has rear-wheel-drive and weighs much less than a standard Gallardo as a result. Its 550BHP V10 is mated to the 6-speed e-gear box and the whole package gets a nicely fettled suspension specifically tuned for this car.
