Pictures and videos showcasing cars we love. Just for fun.

For The Love of Lamborghinis!

LP640-4

Given the title of this post, I hope you guys are expecting to see some shots of beautiful specimens of the Raging Bulls.  All these pictures that you are about to see were taken by me at Le Belle Macchine d’Italia.  Le Belle Macchine took place in the Pocono Mountains from the 24th of June to the 27th.  It is considered to be the largest Italian car show in the US and this year got a bump from 3 days to 4 days.  Friday and Saturday was the Concorso d’Eleganza held at Mt. Airy Resort and Casino, and Sunday and Monday were the 2 days that cars were able to show off their power at Pocono International Raceway, where they were kinda enough to open up the road circuit part in the infield.  For more information, here is their website.  If you are interested in attending one, they have 2012’s scheduled for the Poconos, and they also have one in the fall in Daytona! http://www.italiancarevents.com/

First up, we have a beautiful, black Murcielago LP640-4.  The first shot is of it at the Concorso and the second is of it pulling out of the parking lot at the Concorso.     Continue reading For The Love of Lamborghinis!

Evo rides along with Horacio Pagani in the Huayra

Evo Magazine’s Harry Metcalfe rides along in the Pagani Huayra with Horacio Pagani himself. Notice how Mr. Pagani happens to be an absolute savage behind the wheel of his creation, doing unimaginable speeds down little single lane italian back roads. Also check out how the Huayra’s key is actually a small sculpture of the car itself. This is just incredible, everything about the Huayra is just awesome, and listen to that twin turbo V12!!! This shows exactly what I was talking about in my recent article on Pagani, everything is a masterpiece.

Autocar reviews the Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0

This car is just incredible, especially if you’re a Porsche fan. A 4.0L flat six motor producing 493bhp is just astonishing, but in a GT3 is is nothing less than biblical. It gets a thumbs up from me.

SC’s Gone Wild, a solid tribute to the luxury Supra.

One of my favorite car videos, its extremely well done. I love the old Lexus SC and have a desire to own one some day. I imagine many of you will after watching this video too. Even if tuners aren’t your thing this video is worth a watch just because it is extremely epic.

The sound of a Pagani Zonda

This is a video from back in 04 or 05 of Pagani demonstrating the Zonda F in front of their small factory near Modena, Italy. In my opinion the Zonda F is one of the best sounding cars ever made. Its 7.3L V12 has this high pitched shrieking wail to it that I just cannot get enough of.
