These are some of Lamborghini's print ads; something you will not find in the United States. The ads below are from three campaigns: One uses the slogan “A Part of Italy” and shows Lamborghini-like structures as just a part of Italy’s normal conurbation. The second group uses the phrase “Feels Italian. Wherever you are.” The third and final group of Lamborghini ads uses the motto “Welcome to Sant’ Agata Bolognese. Home of Lamborghini.” All these ads require a little bit of focus and brain power to understand. See more Lamborghini Ads here.

Is there any car that Franz Müllner cannot hold back? A new video brought to you by National Geographic's Humanly Impossible shows the Austrian’s incredible feat of strength—although it may be partly due to great stength of feet—as he holds back a Mustang GT500 while it performs a wicked peel out.

You may remember this same man performing a similar act with a Lamborghini Diablo more than one year ago.

A Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV nearly went face first into a curb after leaving a cars-and-coffee meet. Speculation on why the driver lost control of the Lambo from the people commenting on the video range from it being in race mode and thus stability control was turned off to the tires being cold and the road being slick. The LP670-4 can send up to 35 percent of its power to the front wheels to help stop incidences like this.

Photos of the Jota prototype—the code-named Murcielago replacement—undergoing winter testing have hit the Internet. Speculation is the new Lambo will utilize the Audi R8’s aluminum spaceframe chassis and come with a carbon-fiber body like the Reventon. Styling is said to also be heavily influenced by the Reventon and the Estoque concept.

The Lambo V-12 will be retained and likely making at or near 700 hp. Like every base Lamborghini since the Diablo VT first appeared in 1993, a viscous-coupling-type all-wheel-drive system will aid in traction.

With Lamborghini intent on introducing one new car a year and with no all-new models in sight, speculation in that for 2011 it plans to introduce a SuperVeloce derivative of the Gallardo, likely called the Gallardo LP570-4 SV. This would likely mean a bump in power to 562 hp, a reduction in weight to less than 3,300 lbs., and retainment of the current car’s all-wheel-drive system.

A Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni in Verde Ithaca driven by the man himself, Valentino Balboni. You can see that at after a certain point the rear tires are running on so little tread that they start to spark.

According to Sports Car Market, the most expensive Lamborghini ever sold at auction is a 1973 Miura P400 SV that went for $962,500. In fact, out of the top ten most expensive Lamborghinis to ever be sold at an auction, the Lamborghini Miura model takes up nine of the 10 spots. The one exception is a 1976 Countach LP400 that sold for $533,500.

In comparison, a 1957 Ferrari 250 TR went for $12,156,252, making it not only the most expensive Ferrari ever sold, but the most expensive car ever sold at auction.  

With the new $1-million+ Reventon coupes and Roadsters and $484,045 Murcielago LP670-4 SVs on the market, it is hard to believe these Lamborghini records won’t be quickly demolished.

You may recall that Lamborghini gave the Bologna, Italy, police a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 for use as one of its cop cars. Well, it seems that car was involved in a crash this past weekend and may be totaled. The car was on its way back from an exhibition in Cremona, Italy, which is approximately 104 miles away, when another motorist cut off the high-speed-capable cop car. It seems that the two officers in the Lambo were able to dodge the one motorist but plowed into some parked cars. No word yet on how fast the Lamborghini was going at the time of the crash.

Starting in 2007 matte black really started to become the cool color of choice. However, now that we are nearly in 2010, what’s hot is once again changing and it might very well mean that chrome is the next big thing. To us, chrome was cool on our Hot Wheels cars, but just doesn’t seem to look right on the real thing. What do you think? Is matte black still hot or is chrome the new way to go?

The owner of this chrome-wrapped Nissan GT-R said this is the second wrap he has put on the car since he took delivery in July. Prior to the mirror finish the owner went with a matte white.

This chrome Murcielago was spotted in London. Unlike matte black, chrome is sure to draw people's attention, as we can see from the many gawkers in the background.

Lindsey Lohan may be cash strapped but the Mean Girls star still knows how to ride in style. The matte-black Phantom sedan with the glossy piano-black interior finish is rented and not owned.

Three of the 15 Lamborghini Reventon Roadsters will be going to customers in Singapore. The three buyers will obtain their cars through Lamborghini Singapore, the only dealership in the country.  According to the dealership, the three had placed their orders early after missing out on the Reventon coupe that debuted a couple years ago.
