Auction house RM Sotheby's is hosting a sale ahead of the 2023 Las Vegas Formula One Grand Prix, and most of the lots that will cross the block were designed with performance in mind. Whether you want a supercar or a Formula One car, there's a chance you'll find it in Sin City.
Update: It appears that the realistic-looking spy shots were actually cleverly crafted digital renderings. Our article has been updated to reflect this new information.A few days back, fuzzy shots of a mysterious Lamborghini supercar surfaced on social media, fueling fan speculation about a possible successor to the Huracan, despite its resemblance to the Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 racecar instead of the camouflaged prototypes of the next gen. Plot twist: turns out, these were just fancy digital creations by a crafty independent artist.
We're not sure if we should consider this situation trying to steal someone's thunder or, as is done in the NFL, trying to ice the kicker. In August, RM Sotheby's announced that in December in New York it will auction a 1-of-12, white 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary that starred in Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street." Resplendent in Bianco Polo, the auction star was one of two cars used in the film. Notably, it was the undamaged car. The second Bianco Polo 25th Anniversary Countach was damaged rather badly as part of filming, victim of the main character driving under severe influence. We said of the second car, «The location and current condition of the other Countach are unknown, but as far as we can tell, no one has attempted to restore or auction it in the years since filming.» We now know the location and condition of the other Countach: Bonhams announced it will auction the other star car this month as part of the festivities around the season-ending Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Lamborghini in the same condition as when it was hauled off the set.
Breaking down is never fun, but it’s even less fun when it happens in an expensive vehicle that’s designed to generate joy. However, a breakdown goes from “not fun” to downright scary when it happens on the highway, as a driver in China recently had the misfortune of learning.In videos first shared to Weibo, a man can be seen standing next to a Lamborghini Huracan whose frunk is open.
Lamborghini’s freshly revealed Lanzador is its first all-electric car, destined to form a fourth model line alongside the Urus SUV, Huracan, and hybrid Revuelto supercars when it goes into production in 2028.
When Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his car company in 1963, he didn’t start with the outlandish supercars we know as Lambos today, complete with vertically hinged doors and flame-spitting V12 engines.
– Campagnano di Roma, ItalyI don’t know how to explain why, but “Lamborghini” is an onomatopoeia. You say it out loud, and all of a sudden V12 supercars flood your memories – the first time you saw a Miura blow through your hometown, your suspiciously rich neighbor’s Diablo VT, or drooling over an Aventador SVJ at the local show-and-shine. Lamborghini has been in the business of memory-making for 60 years, and it doesn’t have any intention of stopping now.
