This amazing Lamborghini Murcielago looks like it was built by aliens and beamed down to earth where it is for sale by Euromotorsport of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for a mere $279,950. Not a hefty price to pay for something crafted by alien technology.
The Murcielago is powered by a 6.2-litre version of the Lamborghini V12 engine, a six-speed manual or 6-speed sequential automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine.
The LP640 version was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006, as a facelift for the coupé version. It features a 6.5 Litre engine, now producing 640 PS (631 hp/471 kW), improving performance substantially. Like the base Murciélago, the engine is mounted “backwards”, with the transmission in front of the engine and the differential behind it, instead of a transaxle normally seen on mid-engine cars. There were also a few minor external changes, primarily to the low air intakes.
The LP640 also has the original car’s wicked scissor-opening doors.

That said, the 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano will go down in history as one of the greatest Ferrari road cars ever. There, we said
Ferrari is an automobile synonymous with true Italian elegance, finesse, power, and supercar performance. With a promise to continue the lineage, a two-door coupe - the Ferrari 599 GTB was created. Here’s what it looks like from the drivers point of view.
What did you do with your income tax return check this year? If you’re a multi-millionaire you just might have splurged your return on a man toy like this 1930 Cadillac V16 Phaeton. What can I say? It’s a Steal at $395,000.
The Cadillac V-16 was Cadillac’s top-of-the-line car from its January 1930 launch until production ceased in 1940 as the war in Europe killed sales. All were finished to custom order, and the car was built in very small numbers; only 4076 cars were constructed in the eleven years the model was offered. The majority of these were
Wonder what’s under the hood? Take a peek…
The Caddilac design was the first true 16 cylinder motor built from scratch. The block was built by Owen Nacker and featured a 45 degree cylinder bank angle with overhead valve design that kept the engine extremely narrow. Mechanically speaking, the Cadillac motor was a silicon and aluminum crankcase with iron cylinders that offered advanced overhead valve design with automatic hydraulic valve lash compensators. This assured that the engine would operate very quietly and with minimal vibrations. To complement the ingenuity and genius of the V16 powerplant, the engine bay became one of the first to be given proper styling.
