Motor Trend tests the Lamborghini Huracan LP580-2
Lamborghini Countach at the Greenwich Concours
Look at this shape, those doors, the orange with the blue interior. Imagine what this must have looked like in the early 1970s. We saw it at Greenwich, and, decades later, it still hasn’t lost its impact.
Enjoy!

Modified Lamborghini Huracan at Amelia Island
This was a very cleanly modded Lamborghini Huracan at the Festivals of Speed at Amelia Island. I’m not usually one for silver on a Lamborghini because it’s a rather dull color choice, but the blue accents on its wheels added a nice pop to its look.
Pretty striking!

RUF RT12 S at Radnor Hunt
This is the second insane RUF I’ve seen for the first time this year. I caught a CTR3 at Greenwich, and then I found this RT12 S at Radnor Hunt.
The RUF RT12 S is based on the Porsche 997, but has been modified enough to be considered a new, non-Porsche car. It was available with a variety of options including various engine configurations, gearing, and a choice of RWD or AWD. Maximum power available was 685hp, and with the right gearing it’s capable of a staggering 225 mph.
We saw this thing accelerate hard as it left the show, and it was definitely tuned a bit rich because black smoke came out the tailpipes under full throttle. It’s a monster.
Enjoy the photos!
I LOVE the Blue on this Lamborghini Aventador!
Caught at the Lamborghini stand at Amelia Island, those bright orange brake calipers really make the blue pop.

Lamborghini Aventador SV at the Greenwich Concours
Nothing makes an entrance quite like a SuperVeloce Lamborghini. The folks at Miller Motorcars decided to arrive fashionably late to the Greenwich Concours, and when they did they broke everyone’s necks. The Lamborghini Aventador 750-4 SV is the extreme Lambo of the moment, and this one was clothed in this rare deep blue with red accents.
It’s quite a looker, it costs more than your soul is worth, and supposedly, it can run the Nurburgring in under 7 mins in the right hands. Not bad for a parking lot spot, eh?
Enjoy!

It’s one thing to collect supercars, it’s another thing to collect hypercars
For me the GT1 homologation era has been the epitome of the high performance automobile thus far. These were actual race cars that had been converted for road use, and they make the hypercars of today seem like shallow status symbols. You actually need a decent amount of skill to drive a McLaren F1, a Mercedes CLK GTR, or a Porsche 911 GT1 at all, let alone quickly.
This video from The Supercar Driver shows us a collection with all of them, as well as a glimpse into the ultra-exclusive world of trading automobiles at the highest end.

Noble M12 GTO-3 at Amelia Island
This rare Noble M12 GTO-3 was turning heads at Festivals of Speed, Amelia Island. Noble has since gone to make much more extreme cars, but the M12 GTO-3 was one of their early successes. 352hp doesn’t sound like a lot now, with cars like the Focus RS making around the same, but this Noble weighs over 1,000lbs less than Ford’s hottest of hatches. Chew on that.

Modified Lamborghini Huracan at First Class Fitment
This very red Lamborghini Huracan was one of the stars of the show at First Class Fitment this year. It was a bit slammed, and a little stanced, but just the right amount of each. The Huracan, in general, looks like a spaceship, but the mods on this one made it look even more out of this world.
I caught it on the road as it was leaving the show, as well. If it was cool in the show, surrounded by other amazing cars, out in traffic, surrounded by normal cars, it looked absolutely unreal.
Enjoy!
