Lamborghini Aventadors As Air Freight
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Lamborghini Aventador by Air
ANYONE who has researched shipping a car abroad knows just what a dicey proposition the process can be. Needless to say, you’re far better served sending your baby by air than by sea.
Of course, one if by air is on its face far more costly. That said, if you’ve paid $387K for a Lamborghini Aventador, another $20K for air shipment here or there makes next to no fiscal difference and saves time. And if time equals money, then getting your Lambo there in 48 hours instead of 4 weeks saves a bundle.
This video shows part of the process of shipping cars as air freight. Interesting stuff for those who’ve ever wondered about the logistics of shipping cars by airplane; let alone minty fresh Lamborghinis.
Grazie Roma! Lamborghinis New and Vintage Gather In The Eternal City
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Lamborghinis in Rome
IN person, this had to be a sight. A gathering of raging bulls in the Italian capital this past July. We see the impossibly sculptural and piping hot Aventadors (so many in one place!) coupled with beauties of the past – a yellow Miura SV and a copper Diablo, both catch your eye. Check the Cavalieri in their own Gallardo @ 2:04. Pity that the sound quality isn’t better – but – we’ll take what we can get.
Grand cars parading on an even grander stage.
Counting Countachs At Glastonbury
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img Richard Wolf for ADLX ::: Lamborghini Countach
FOUR hundred and twenty horsepower is a lot by any standard but it was titanic power circa 1988 when Lamborghini rolled out the final iteration of the Countach line – the 25th Anniversary. Six hundred fifty were made between ’88 and ’90. And our own Richard Wolf spied one this past weekend…
Lambo Promo: Aventador LP700-4
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
IN this heavily CGI’d film, the basic gist from Lambo is this: if you need a supercar to face down the end of days, the Aventador LP700-4 is your Italian rocket into oblivion. For all other occasions, you may consider the Aventador as relentlessly over-the-top.
Japanese Living Room Fit For A Countach

IF there’s one aspect that Lamborghini owners across this round globe of ours share – in spades – its a certain knack for exhibitionism.
Whoddunit: Lamborghini or Motorcycle?
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: YouTube ::: Lamborghini Impounded By UK Police
THERE seems to be some debate on YouTube: which vehicle revved loud and high to draw the ire of London’s finest?
The pink Lamborghini Murcielago, following another Lamborghini and a Koenigsegg, was the immediate suspect and, apparently, the police impounded the car following the video.
But was it the two motorcycles in front of Lambo, whose high pitched pipes could to untrained ears (or through bad YouTube compression) be confused with the high strung wails of a Lamborghini V12? YouTube commentators seem split on the matter.
Either way, impounding any vehicle just for revving – on the first warning - seems like excessive use of force. So, we report and you decide. Props to those who can identify the make/model of the motorcycles in question.
PR: Lamborghini On A Multifront Grab For Your Attention
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: img ADLX ::: Lamborghini Press
JANUARY might as well be Lamborghini month. Alright, that might be a slight exaggeration. But perusing the racks at the local Borders, yours was stunned to find that the coverage of the Bull from Sant’Agata is getting is enough to rattle a few china shops. Pardon the sloppy pun but don’t pardon me for being somewhat awed by dual Countach features (same models, same Alpine roads) in February issues of rival car mags Octane and Classic & Sports Car. Plus, Automobile carried the scoop on the next Lamborghini supercar – the Aventador. What to make of all this press on one little sports car maker? Nothing other than to say, grazie, grazie mille.
Exotica Bacchanalia: SuperCarRoadTrips II
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: IMG R.D. Wolf for ADLX ::: Super Car Road Trips 2010
WITH more than one hundred exotics present at Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut and $10,000 raised for the Make A Wish Foundation, this September marked the second annual SuperCarRoadTrips rally.
From what I hear, the rally at one of the world’s largest casinos outdid the last year’s in both attendance and participation. Kudos to all involved and SuperCarRoadTrips founder Manolis Christo, in particular.
Luckily for us, our eye on the ground was the able Richard Wolf – a man whose keen eye couples with a clear discernment for separating the vehicular wheat from the chaffe.
What follows is a small sampling of the cars he witnessed two Sundays ago. Enjoy!
Bertone cool: the Lamborghini Espada.
GT40 Redux: Ford GT.
Go on then, step inside…
No exotic rally is complete without the Lamborghini Countach.
It was a Lambo fest, to be sure. Lamborghini of Boston had official event representation. And this black Gallardo didn’t disappoint!
They weren’t all Lamborghinis of course, as evidenced by this marvelous Ferrari 550 and a wonderfully familiar 348 TS Speciale in the background.
Giugaro’s perennial Lotus Esprit. Hot.
Anyone care to hazard a guess?
Exotica bacchanalia.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? Exotics @ Foxwoods
By Gunnar Heinrich | IMG Phil Dunphy for ADLX
LET’S see: how to compliment a mostly male gathering of one hundred sports cars at Foxwoods Casino to raise awareness for the ongoing battle against breast cancer?
Well, aside from lunch at the Hard Rock, a crisp autumnal road trip through scenic New London County, Conn. there were some other visual flourishes that added value to the event. Our man Phil catelogues them nicely with his camera.
Decisions, decisions: Lamborghini edge or Ferrari curve?
The rally was set against the world’s largest casino. A colorful backdrop, to be sure.
Models advertising Private Jet Charters were on call that morning.
Apparently, the pain of standing in heels got to more than a few as the morning wore on.
They persevered, nonetheless.
As did the event’s planner, Manolis Christo.
Color coordination was a recurring theme…
…as you might’ve guessed.
For one, Bumble Bee from Transformers blended well in Camaro yellow.
Getting ready to rally.
FerrariChat.com member Lane Baker coordinates route plans. No speeding!
A tall order considering the old rivalries represented here.
But then again, not too tall an order. One hundred cars on Connecticut backroads creates its own special kind of traffic.
Much to some local’s apparent appreciation.
