Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 on Fire [Video]

2012-04-19T12:46:00.000-07:00

Bad luck struck Lamborghini dealership last week when the black Aventador LP700-4 pictured in the video caught fire during a test drive. The accident took place on a highway in Southern California.
This is the first video ever of an Aventador burning down and hopefully it will be the last. Lamborghini is currently investigating what caused the fire. In the mean time you can watch the heart-breaking video after the jump. Needless to say, the car is a total loss.

It is not everyday that you see a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, let alone two of them at the same location. This happened several days ago in Chelsea, London at the Christmas party organized by Lamborghini UK. The event was photographed by NWVT.co.uk and you can follow the link for more photos: Lamborghini UK Christmas Party 2011.

Ferrari 599 GTO vs. Lexus LFA [Videos]

2011-11-01T13:05:00.000-07:00

Evo Magazine took two of the most ferocious supercars on the planet and made these brilliant eargasmic videos that you can watch after the jump. Both vehicles scream like Formula One cars thanks to their high-revving engines. A 6.0-liter V12 engine powers the Ferrari 599 GTO giving it 660 horsepower at 8250 rpm, whereas the Lexus is powered by a 4.8-liter V10 that delivers a maximum output of 552 hp at 8700 rpm.
I am not sure if one could ever say which of the two is better as there is no argument that with either of them you can't go wrong. Fantastic supercars that will remain in the automotive history for a long time. Enjoy the videos after the jump and let us know which one you like better in the comments.

UG Ferrari 458 Italia vs. Aventador LP700-4 [Video]

2011-10-25T04:58:00.000-07:00

Underground Racing are famous for modifying exotics like Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8 and others. Here is one of the latest creations to come out of their shop - a Ferrari 458 Italia with Underground Racing's Stage 1 twin turbo system that puts out 700 rwhp on pump 93 octane fuel.
There are no official times released yet but judging by this video, the prancing horse is a bit quicker than the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 on a rolling start. Let me remind you that the Aventador is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 700 hp. You can see the video for yourself after the jump.

From left to right: Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, Ferrari F40 and Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Seeing these three with their engine covers opened reveals how Ferrari supercars and their engine design has changed during the years. It may be old but I would still take the F40 if given the choice between the three. What would you prefer?

The most extreme Pagani ever. The Zonda R is not road-legal, thus it can be driven only on racetracks and it serves as an exercise into what the company could do.
It barely shares any elements (just 10%) previously developed for other Zonda models. Zonda R is powered by a 6.0-litre engine built by Mercedes-Benz AMG division which is also found in the CLK GTR. The V12 develops an astonishing 750hp (552kW) and 710Nm of torque.
Asking price is $1.8 million and they are building only 15 customer cars.
