    Here’s a new project created by Houston’s EVS Motors for a customer wanting to freshen up his early Lamborghini Murcielago.

  • Loud Aventador pulled over for a quiet word


    Even though London isn’t enjoying its best summer weather, that doesn’t appear to stop the Saudi zillionaires from flying their hypercars over there to parade around Knightbridge for a few weeks. This particular owner was pulled over for a brief word regarding the aural pollution produced by his car’s tailpipes.

    The vehicle in question is an Oakley Design Lamborghini Aventador LP760-2, which not only features remapped ECU software, but also that booming titanium exhaust system. All of the driver’s paperwork seemed to be in order, so he was allowed to go on his way – just after a pair of Lamborghini Roadsters fly past him.
