Happy 50!

2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept

Not this year, but in 2013, rumor has it that Lamborghini is planning something special for its 50th Anniversary. Who knows? It might be the return of the mighty Murcielago. Maybe a special edition of the upcoming Aventador LP700-4 or the production version of this Sesto Elemento that you see above you. The only way to find out is to wait for two years. Sounds tiring, huh?

In Memoriam

Christmas is 4 days away, which also means the end of the year is upon us. Most of us will be making it to the new year, but, sadly some of us won't, and this include cars. So, as we celebrate Jesus' birth and the beginning of a new year, let us take some time to honor those we have lost.

2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible

1. Dodge Viper SRT-10
We shall surely miss this venomous snake. It was one of the greatest American Supercars of all time, right behind the coveted Ford GT. No one will forget that aggressive front nose, that deadly 8.4-liter 600 horsepower V10 Viper engine, those many warning symbols on how this car could indeed kill you, and the immense speed this snake delivers. Even though a new one is planned for 2013, there will never be any new one that will be any better than this. This car will be missed.

2006 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

2. Lamborghini Murcielago
Ahh, the great raging bull, and this is her final year, as a new replacement has come for her. But, alas, no one will perfectly replace her though. That harmonious 6.5-liter V12 sound, the unbelievable grip coming from its patent-pended all-wheel drive system, the brilliance of her rear vents lifting up at high speeds; this car was literally a baby that has turned into an angel and has wiggled into our hearts. She will be missed.

2008 Audi RS6

3. Audi RS6 C6
Now, Audi has confirmed a new RS6 for this new A6 that has just come out, but I don't think it will be as crazy and fun-loving as this one. I mean, a Twin-Turbocharged V10 powered 580 horsepower station-wagon? That's crazy!! Leave it Audi to do that stuff. But, besides the craziness, this wagon did handle like a supercar and was very good in the snow. It will be missed.

2010 Pontiac G8 GT

4. Pontiac G8
Pontiac has been with us since the 1920's and they've produced great muscle cars ever since. But the one that came close to our hearts is this one: the mighty G8. It's Australian cousin, the Holden Commodore, has claimed more Bathurst races than any GM ever made. It's British relative, the Vauxhall VXR8, has become a prized possession to The Stig for being his portable drifting machine. Here, it's been hailed as a muscle car done right. The handling was phenomenal, the power was raging, the ride was excitement. It's made us laugh, it's made us cry. It will be deeply missed.

I hope you took your time to look over this list. Be sure to pay tribute to these great ones. They've se an example for all of us.

Shift is a Go!

2007 Nissan Silvia (S15) Spec.R Aero

Shift 2 Unleashed from Need For Speed is already turning heads. With an array of fast cars and realistic physics, this game could be another Gran Turismo killer. A limited edition of the game has already been confirmed with an exclusive boxshot with a yellow, not red, custom Maserati. Also, if you pre-order the game, EA will give you three cars before everyone else earns them: the Nissan Silvia (S15) Spec.R Aero (seen above),

2009 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640,

2009 Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV

and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV.

No word yet on the official car list of this game, but EA says this game will be just as great as the award winning Hot Pursuit. Let's see if they're right. The game launches in March of next year.

Mystery Bull

Teaser Shot

Remember my teaser? I mentioned that it's not from the game that you thought it was. No, it's not from Gran Turismo 5, but honestly I wish it was in GT5. It's actually from a game that I haven't picked up in a while and involves us doing something on YouTube to get it. So, what is this car?

It's the 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster!

This car is honestly one of my favorite cars out of the Super Sports Pack. By the way, the other three cars from Bugatti, Porsche, and Gumpert, will be here next Tuesday. Anyway, I did pay tribute to the mighty Murcielago, but NFS thought it wasn't enough. So, they released this exclusive roadster into the wild. In real life, they only made about 50 of these, each one no different than the other. Other than the special orange underlay which made it look like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, it is somewhat lighter but definitely more powerful than a standard Murcielago Roadster. That old 6.5-liter V12 engine now produces 650 horsepower, about as much as the ultra-exclusive Reventon. 0 to 60 is reached in 3.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 205 MPH. 

Such Grace

There's just something about this car that makes me so tearful; the fact that there will never be a Lamborghini as great as this one. Those rear vents that lift up after speeding at 160 MPH just make the car look so much cooler and perform so much better than usual. The all-wheel drive system is so stabile and has a lot of grip, especially in the corners. This car is a mental and a very good piece of work. I'm glad we were able to get it.

Racing Past Traffic

This car is indeed one of the best Lamborghini's I've ever driven in this game. It just looks so graceful and performs gracefully as well. What I love best about this car is the harmonious concierto that is delivered from that handcrafted V12 engine through the trapezoidal exhaust. It's just astonishing. Honestly, if there were any of these cars left on sale right now, I would buy one and drive one in real life. But, alas, I'm stuck driving it in Seacrest County. But, hey, better here than nothing, right?

Night Roadster

If you haven't gotten this car yet, what are you waiting for? Update the game, go straight to Freeride, scroll down to the exotics page, and you'll find this Raging Bull waiting for you to test drive her. You will be blown away when you drive it. It's just brilliant
