Prank for Supercar Blondie

If you’re a fan of fast sports cars then you’ve probably heard of Australian Alex Hirschi better known as Supercar Blondie. The 36-year-old is a big fan of super sports cars with more than 30 million followers on social media, of which 7 million on YouTube.

While making a video for Lamborghini in a church square in Italy, the police came and stopped filming. They explained that it was forbidden to park in front of the church and handed over the fine. The penalty was postponed to the front windshield, and as the car does not have a license plate, they wrote “Lamborghini”.

Surprised by this situation, Alex apologized. However, this was the prank of someone from Lamborghini, who made a deal with the local police unit.

Supercar Blondie was making a video about the 2017 Lamborghini Terzo Millennio, which was created in collaboration with Lamborghini and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Audi and Lamborghini traffic accident

From the United States comes a video of the accident in which Audi and Lamborghini were involved. Although the video shows who is to blame for the car accident, believe it or not, the girl from Audi blamed the driver of the Lamborghini for the accident. As the footage shows, the driver of the Lamborghini stops at a red traffic light. At that moment, the driver of the Audi, while changing the lane, crashed into the back of a Lamborghini. Fortunately, no one was injured, and insurance will likely cover the damage on the Lamborghini.

Ironically, the Lamborghini Aventador bears the Beep license plate, referring to the car owner’s business. That’s Matt Heller, owner of HornBlasters, a company that makes powerful sirens and advertises itself as a solution for all small cars whose drivers want their voice heard as well.

All in all, enough to emphasize once again how important it is for a driver in traffic to be focused solely on driving. If a minor accident happens, try to react calmly. First help the injured, and only then do the rest.

Lamborghini LP 500 Countach

Lamborghini resurrected the original Countach. Celebrating half a century of the legendary car, the Santa’Agata Bolognese team unveiled a prototype Lamborghini LP 500 that debuted at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show and was destroyed in a crash test just three days later.

Lamborghini spent 25,000 hours making a prototype and fulfilling the wish of one collector. The collector made his first contact with Lamborghini in 2017 with the question of whether it is possible to revive the 1971 model. The challenge was accepted, and spare parts with used parts were used in the production. The body is painted in the original Giallo Fly Speciale color.

In order for the body to match the original, a 3D scan of the LP 400 prototype (chassis number 001) was required, and 2,000 hours of work were spent on finalizing the unmistakable Coutach lines.

Under the hood is a 3.9-liter V12 engine with 370 hp (276 kW) and 266 lb-ft (361 Nm) of torque, from the LP400. It reaches 62 mph in 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 179 mph (288 km / h). The original LP500 was powered by a 5.0-liter engine with 440 hp (328 kW) and 330 lb-ft (448 Nm) of torque, but was destroyed.

It is not known how much the production cost. Given that the new Countach model costs $ 2.64 million, we’re sure the prototype didn’t cost less than that.
