A good friend of mine just took delivery on his GTR. And talk about patience, he’s had his name on the list for nearly 3 years. More pics and hands-on commentary soon…

This is the most exclusive, most expensive, and most legendary Lamborghini to come out of the Lamborghini Factory in Sant’ Agata Italy. The video shows every square inch of the car, interior, exterior, engine, wheels, etc. This car is selling for $2.5 Millions USD at Silicon Valley Auto Group in Northern California. 10 out of 20 reside in the U.S.A.
Last fall BMW kaiser Norbert Reithofer confirmed that they would be releasing a “Gran Turismo.” Apparently the Gran Turismo is based on the 7 Series, but will be positioned in a higher category. I’m a big BMW fan, and these pictures might be some of the illest I have seen of any car in a minute. Looks like these are going into production for 2009. More pictures of this incredible car after the jump.

I headed out to The Ranch to meet up and celebrate my boy Andy’s B-day.
That’s Andy with the yellow reservoir tip on and it was also the last night in Cali for Carlos Bocanegra (white shirt) as he’s heading out tomorrow for pre-season with Rennes FC.
When two of the world’s most luxurious brands get together, good things happen. This is the Lamborghini Versace edition Murcielago LP640 Roadster and it is out of this world.

This 2008 BMW M1 Prototype, created by HOSS Ferero was snapped in an airport hangar in Spain.
Damn this car looks aggressive.

Thirty years ago BMW dropped its first mid engine super car, the M1. The original M1 was a collaboration with Lamborghini, which might be one of the illest collabs of all time. Anyhoo, to celebrate the 30th anniversary, this M1 concept car was recently unveiled at Concorso d’Eleganza. This might just be a concept car, but the retro meets modern vibe is stunning and this machine looks to be a winner. I could see becks adding this to the collection he currently has going.
With the US auto industry falling on some hard times, Dodge is looking to it’s past to help solidify it’s future. With Jessica Simpson having strutted her stuff as Daisy in the recent Dukes of Hazzard movie, it is now Dodge’s turn to tap into that same nostalgia and re-introduce the Challenger. The Challenger is most famously known as the General Lee in The Dukes of Hazzard and it is a serious beast. The new Challenger comes in three versions, with the big daddy version the SRT8, coming in with a massive 6.1 liter HEMI V8, 425 hp engine!
Our boy Wes who we have told you about in the past is in line to get ones of these beasts. When he picks his up we’ll post some pictures and let you know if it is all that it is cracked up to be.

We are all very aware that there is some seriously long, new money in Russia. Cats like Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich are leading the way of Russian money, and there are a ton of billionaires coming out of the former USSR. To further illustrate that there is a ton of new money in Russia, BMW has put up a 65,000 sq. ft ad in Russia promoting the new M Series. I have no idea how big 65,000 sq. feet actually is, but let’s just say that those cars on the billboard in the picture are real cars. Yep! They did it like that! That is how you get attention!
We all know India used to be a British colony, as was America at one time. India was ran by the British for awhile, and nowthe Indians are turning to business once again to take something decidedly British from the British (and Americans in this case). Ford Motor Company which owned Jaguar and Land Rover has sold both brands to Tata Motors which is the largest automobile company in India. This is somewhat ironic as two classic British companies have been owned now by two former British colonies. Tata Group which owns Tata Motors also owns Tetley Tea, a British Tea company. What’s next?
