Another Special Lambo

2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore

Once again, Lamborghini honors the awesomeness that is the Gallardo with another special edition. As you can see, this two-tone Bicolore is pretty much what it is: a two tone exotic car. Orange won't be the only color you'll have the base in though. There will also be blue, white, yellow, and grey. There's not much else different about it. It still has the 5.2-liter V10 producing 556 horsepower like the standard Gallardo. It still has the same top speed, 202 MPH, like the standard Gallardo. Let's just put it in simple terms: it is a standard Gallardo, only with a black roof. The cost will be no different either. But anyway, all we need to do now is wait for the real raging bull, the Aventador.

Gold is the new Green

2012 VW Touareg Gold Edition

VW is pressing all the right buttons out in Qatar. They've also released this special Gold Edition of the all-new Touareg at the Qatar Motor Show. As you can see, it's been decked out with 24K Gold pretty much everywhere: the 22-inch Rims, the trim, even in the interior, there are gold-plated trim linings and a gold-plated shift knob. That's epic!

Gold Interior

This is the most elegant that I've seen the Touareg so far. And because it's been turned to gold, expect it to have a very, very big price tag. Even with a big price tag, you still should average about 31 MPG on the big V8 Turbodiesel engine and not produce as much CO2 as a regular V8. So, if you live in Qatar, and decide to buy this SUV, you won't only be in the most expensive VW ever created, you'll be in the most expensive Green VW ever.

A Dakar Racer for the Road

2012 VW Race Touareg 3 Qatar

Somehow, all the good stuff end up overseas. I guess it's because we have too many laws and restrictions and we, ourselves, are choosy, picky, buyers when it comes to cars. In Qatar, Dubai, or Abu Dhabi though, there are rules and restrictions, but buyers there don't care what car they drive, and here's a perfect example. The Qatar Motor Show was on recently and VW showed up with this race-ready VW Race Touareg 3 Qatar. This Touareg was specially modded so that it can be used on the road, therefore making it a road-legal rally machine. It still has the 300 horsepower 2.5-liter TDI engine, but the rest of car is about the same. On the outside, it's not that much different than the regular Dakar racer except for the gold-colored BBS rims, and gold-vinyled "Race Touareg" words across each side.

Interior View

Inside, there are some changes. First, the seats aren't regular leathers, but Recaro racing buckets. The steering wheel is a racing one as well. But, other than that, the car is still somewhat luxurious. There's even a Navigation screen on the passenger side of the car. So, if you want a rally racing SUV with real rally racing pedigree, and road-ready regulations, then this is the SUV for you. It's too bad that it's only available in Qatar.
