Back in the late 80′s Lamborghini built a vicious 4×4 called the LM002. It had the V12 from the Countach upfront and as you can imagine with that sort of power was an incredible vehicle offroad. It would have easily been able to venture off the tarmac and onto curbs, straight over them and not really getting damaged in the process.

The Murcielago not so much. This one smashed into a curb and lost it’s passenger side front wheel.

Glad this didn’t happen to me.

The new 2011 Suzuki Swift model has been spotted while tested in rain conditions in Germany. The car is still heavily covered to mask its new design, but we managed to get a snitch and other than those new tail lgihts, it looks like the car has been rounded up since its last appearance, which seems to suit it from what can be seen.

Suzuki Swift is sold in various countries around the world, and the engines under the hood vary, with the most appealing model, the 1.6-litre version outputs 125 hp and 148 Nm of torque. The vehicle uses a five-speed transmission system and has a front wheel drive (although an AWD model that’s exclusive for Japan, exists).

On top of these all, after seeing the Swift Plug-in Hybrid Concept, there are some strong rumors going around that the car may be a full production hybrid. Not bad eh? [via WCF]

ENCO have been developing a new styling and performance package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. The new package gives you the ability to completely overhaul your car’s exterior by adding carbon fiber components such as a boot cover (for about €3990), a front bumper (€2990) and a front splitter (just €990). But that’s not all you’re getting as this little monster comes with a matte black foil wrap (€3000), more aggressive side skirts (€3990), mirrors and custom boot lid vents (€4000). The package holds some goodies for the car’s interior as well, such as a carbon fiber trim for the steering wheel, new handbrake and dashboard, and new door handles – all for a mere €5000. But if you’re not into looks, only, there’s also a performance package for the 5.2l V10 engine, boosting power to 620 hp and 575 Nm torque.

The Ferrari F70 has been talked about for a long time, and recently, some more details about the car have surfaced. The supercar will be superior to the Enzo in many ways – it will be more compact and lightweight, able to reach better top speeds. Ferrari F70 is rumored to weigh just 1000 kg, which is almost 400kg under the Enzo’s weight. Carbon has been extensively used to save up on weight, and you can find it in the brakes, body panels, as well as in the interior. As for what’s under the hood, the car will feature a twin-turbo V8 engine that outputs 660hp, accelerates to 100 km/h in just 3.0 second, and reaches a top speed of up to 230 mph. Meant as a limited edition of only 399 units, the new F70 will cost dearly: some £600,000 or close to $1 million. [via WCF]

I’ve never driven a Nissan GTR, but I’ve heard that it is so good and that the driver is probably the worst link in the car. Some say it’s so good that you have to try really hard to lose control.

We can only assume that the driver of this unfortunate GTR tried really, really hard to lose control because as you can see it looks like he succeeded. Apparently he drove into the back of another car.

Glad this didn’t happen to me.

J.F. Musial drives the 2009 Audi R8 – great insight and commentary.

That’s right. Audi has bought 9.09% of Bayern Munich, the soccer club, for a massive amount of R1 020 480 057 and 15 cents if our calculations are correct. Which they are.

So if you like Audi, you’ll now feel like buying a Bayern Munich shirt. And if you like Bayern Munich, you’ll feel like you need an Audi.
