VW has entered a joint venture to produce electric cars for China, eg. the VW Golf blue-e-motion.
Volkswagen and partner Shanghai Auto (SAIC) are jointly developing compact electric cars for the Chinese market. The two companies plan to build and sell electric versions of the Golf hatchback and Lavida sedan in China, and are also considering the joint development of hybrids and other “new energy” vehicles for that market.
A report in the Guangzhou Daily said SAIC officials confirmed the two partners are working together on electric compacts for China.
The trunk of the Lamborghini Murcielago seems to be quite spacious considering the fact that rapper 50 Cent is able to put $2 million dollar in cash into it. Have a look!
50 Cent, the famous North American rapper, has released a video of him self filling a brand new Lamborghini Murcielago with what appears to be over 2 Million USD in cash. At the end of the clip, he realizes he now has to find another spot to hide his 2 Million USD…duh!
Lamborghini has launched the first of six teasers for the successor of the Lamborghini Murcielago. Have a look!
Following the barely-a-teaser shot released three months ago, this new image just released by the Italian factory gives us a glimpse at a section of what looks like the taillight on what is expected to be the company’s new Murciélago successor. The Murci has served admirably in its range-topper role, having carried on in numerous variants since 2001.
What you’re looking at is the first in a series of six teasers slated to be released by the Bolognese exotic automaker ahead of the car’s expected debut at the upcoming Paris Auto Salon. The rest of the shots will undoubtedly follow in a timely fashion, so stay tuned.
Here’s more intel about the Lamborghini Jota.
The firm’s next-generation flagship – which has yet to be given a name – is likely to retain the same four-wheel drive layout as the current car, and use an all-new V12 engine producing as much as 700bhp. That’s a gain of more than 10 per cent on the outgoing model.
The new car is understood to have a carbonfibre tub as Lamborghini tries to shave weight from the Murciélago’s 1740kg bulk. Judging from the disguise on this test car, the exterior styling includes some of the angular panel surfacing that is expected to feature so prominently on the firm’s Paris concept, so far only seen in a succession of teaser images.
VW has confirmed to return to the world of rally with a special VW Polo WRC from 2013. Great news!
The German manufacturer, which has been linked to a programme for several months, made the announcement on the eve of Rally Italy in Sardinia. It says the car will be ready to test before the end of this year, and that it will test throughout 2012 ahead of a debut at the start of 2013. The budget is already in place for three full years of competition, according to VW motorsport boss Kris Nissen.
We found some fresh spy shots of the rumored Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Spyder. Have a look!
VW has released brand new pictures of the nice VW Golf Cabriolet. Enjoy!
We found a must-see video of a 1100 bhp Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV throwing flames. Nuff’ said!
take the lightweight, hyper-fast Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV and throw a pair of turbos at it. Run it up to about 150 mph, then come off the gas. Instant three-foot flames. Brilliant.
This teaser video shows us the handiwork of Underground Racing’s twin-turbo conversion for the LP670-4 SV, and though we don’t get anything in the way of stats or equipment lists, we’re not complaining. The audio and video of this madman’s creation are enough to slake the thirst for awesome while whetting the appetite for meatier details.
Lamborghini has revealed the limited edition Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition.
Built to celebrate the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo racing series, the car features a revised engine cover (for improved ventilation), a massive rear spoiler and Skorpius wheels which cover yellow brake calipers that clamp onto carbon-ceramic discs. Inside, the cabin is outfitted with Alcantara upholstery, carbon fiber trim, and yellow contrast stitching.
We found some brand new spy shots of the Lamborghini Jota aka the next-generation Lamborghini Murcielago. Have a look!
The Paris Motor Show is a little more than a month away, but we already know that Lamborghini will steal the show with the successor of its flagship, the Murciélago.
Much details about the looks are not known yet and with these two new spyshots we cannot really say anything more. Jota’s engine will be a +700bhp strong V12. The base price is expected to start at € 275,000.
Lamborghini has released the second teaser for the successor of the Lamborghini Murcielago as well as a sports car manifesto.
Weight. It’s the enemy of all sports car enthusiasts, and the necessary accompaniment to almost every new regulation, whether it originates with safety or fuel economy in mind. Lamborghini can’t change the global political climate, so it’s changing the way it builds its cars. The solution? More carbon fiber. Lots more.
According to Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Lamborghini, the average weight of the company’s cars has increased by 1,100 pounds since the mid-1980s, due almost entirely to additive regulations. Obviously safety can’t be sacrificed, nor can performance, so the only answer is less weight.
Lamborghini has released the 4th teaser for one of their new models rumored to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.
Originally, we thought Lambo was simply teasing its new Jota supercar – the replacement for the aging Murciélago. However, further reports indicated that Lamborghini would be unveiling two new cars in Paris: the Jota, as well as a mystery car only known internally as “83X.” To add to the confusion, a later report from Auto Guide stated that we wouldn’t be seeing the highly anticipated Jota. Instead, a new technology concept would take the stage, crushing our highest hopes of some supercar hotness.
