Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Avio

The Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Avio is a limited edition run of 250 examples. The new Huracan Avio offers a host of premium functional features in its standard configuration including suspension lifting system, cruise control and GPS.

Under the hood, the Avio is identical to the standard Huracan LP 610-4, meaning that the 5.2-liter V-10 sends 602 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque to the wheels. The race-bred unit mates to a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox and an all-wheel drive system. Charging from 0 to 62 mph takes 3.2 seconds, while top speed is rated at 202 mph.
The hybrid chassis is in aluminum and carbon fibre with a power/weight ratio of only 2.33 kilograms per hp. The Avio comes with three operating modes — Strada, Sport, and Corsa — that impact the gearbox, suspension, steering, exhaust, stability control, and the all-wheel drive system.

Stopping power is provided by a set of carbon-ceramic brakes.
Pricing has yet to be revealed, but it’s safe to assume it will cost more than the standard Lamborghini Huracan, which retails from a base of $237,250. Deliveries began in June.

Bizarre moment as $500k Lamborghini tows a trailer full of goats and hay bales

An Italian sports car worth at least $500,000 is not your usual farm vehicle, but it hasn’t stopped an Australian driver using it to transport a trailer full of goats.

The Murcielago was produced by Lamborghini between 2001 and 2010 and can sell for as much as $900,000 new, depending on the model. The car’s driver and passenger appear unconcerned in the video with the sideways glances directed their way by other motorists. The Murcielago features a V-12 engine and all models are capable of 0-100km/h in about three seconds.

Koenigsegg One:1 toasted at Nürburgring

A driver walked away from a very expensive crash at the legendary Nurburgring in Germany, and one of the rarest supercars in the world is done.

The One:1 is what Koenigsegg refers to as a "megacar," and only seven of the finished models exist. The company claims the car can accelerate from 0 to 248 miles per hour in 20 seconds. Given the rarity and performance of the One:1, it's difficult to estimate its value, but Car and Driver listed a base price of $2.8 million in 2015. A dealership in Australia that acquired one of the cars listed it for $7.4 million.
The name One:1 comes from the power (1361 PS) to weight (1361 kg) ratio giving the car 1 PS per 1 kg weight. The 1361 PS power output is the equivalent of one megawatt, which Koenigsegg claims makes the One:1 the ‘world's first megacar’. The car is powered by a variant of it's in-house developed 5.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The transmission is a 7-speed dual clutch with paddle shifters.

0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) is in 2.8 seconds onto a top speed said to be 280 mph.
