Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition


The name gives it away, doesnt it? The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show and had a limited run of just 10 cars for the most discerning customers from China. Thee orange stripe apparently symbolizes the strength of an erupting volcano. The interiors get a touch of orange as well to go with the exterior theme. 

Oh and every car gets a badge with the name of it's owner. Now how about an India special Aventador?   

Would I buy one: I probably would have to move to China to do so! 

Would I drive one: Since everyone and their uncle drives around the standard Murciélago, this would be a fantastic alternative.

My Garage : Porsche GT3


When Porsche launched the race focused 996.1 GT3 in 1999, few suspected that it would go on to become as successful as it eventually did, both on the race tracks and in terms of outright sales. The names of the subsequent variants are confusing to say the least - 996.2 GT3, 996 GT3 RS, 997 GT3 (which included the 997.1 GT3, 997.2 GT3, 997 GT3 RS 997 and the GT3 RS 4.0), 991 GT3 and finally the 991 GT3 RS but they have all stayed true to the racing formula.

The rear wing though is surprisingly not the ugliest one you can find on a Porsche.

Would I buy one: A go faster version of what is already a quick 911? I'll pass.

Would I drive one: Get me a few laps at the Nürburgring where it won the grueling 24 hours race in 2000!
