Ferrari vs Lamborghini
This is a video my brother made of two of Italy's finest supercar makers, Ferrari and Lamborghini The song is called "Dread Rock" by Paul Oakenfold from the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack
2009 Lamborghini SUV Preview
The huge LM002, also known as the "Rambo Lambo" build for General Gadaffi in the 80s will soon have a successor. After many denials from the company, spy photographers caught a few prototype testing. Of course the real car was hidden under the sheetmetal of a Porsche Cayenne, but no one was deceived by this little disguise.
There are two things that made everyone know we are watching the Lambo SUV under the skin of that false Cayenne: one - the prototype tested was huge compared to the next generation Cayenne that will be smaller and sportier than the current generation. And second, the widened fenders and lowered front-end are not from a regular SUV. Conclusion: we are watching something big! Future Lamborghini SUV that will be unveiled sometime in 2009.

Where were also rumors telling that this might be a Bentley SUV, but the one who saw the prototype on the race track said that the testing speeds were too high for a luxury SUV.
The question is what are going to be the performance of a SUV made by a supercar market? Under the bonnet where will be the same 5.0 liter V10 engine used in the Gallardo, but the weight of the SUV will make the car slower. Maximum output will be around 500 hp and the Lambo SUV will hit an estimated top speed of 175-180 mph.
The 2009 Lamborghini SUV will also get the 4.5 liter V8 engine used in the Cayenne. Also the European market will get the 5.9 litre V12 diesel engine used in the Audi Q7.
The SUV will be based on a modified Cayenne platform. The company wants to keep the producing cost as low as possible, so they ca obtain good money from it. The V10 engine and a Lamborghini style design will make this thing easier to achieve.
