Ferrari + Mercedes + Lamborghini = Bad Ass Sport Car

This is how a vehicle looks like if you mixed 3 sport cars together, Ferrari, Mercedes and Lamborghini. Found at the Pebble Beach Concours D’Eleganceit’s. its a center-seated car shaped like a Ferrari Enzo mix with Lamborghini Reventon and Mercedes Mclaren.
Madura
A student from Munich University of Applied Sciences named Slavche Tanevsky has created a futuristic concept car from Lamborghini car called Madura.

Madura Named because the concept was inspired by the name of an Indonesian island famous for its bull races. The concept was created in collaboration with the designer of Lamborghini and Audi.

According Tanevsky, “Madura is a proposal for the first Lamborghini that is scheduled for 2016, Making cars more efficient and more friendly, does not mean should not be attractive, handsome and fast (But). In my opinion a new propulsion system must be represented visible from the car.”

Madura concept reminiscent of the Reventon and Estoque concept, it’s just the whole design Madura leaner, more focused, and more aggressive. At the front of Madura more streamlined design to emphasize the width of the car. Out back, the front-mounted hybrid powertrain Tanevsky allowed to create a maze of intricate lines the which helps to give the car a unique appearance.

With the Aventador LP 700-4, Automobili Lamborghini is redefining the very pinnacle of the world super sports car market – brutal power, outstanding lightweight engineering and phenomenal handling precision are combined with peerless design and the very finest equipment to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. With the Aventador, Lamborghini is taking a big step into the future – and building on the glorious history of the brand with the next automotive legend. The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 in late summer 2011.
The technology package of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is utterly unique. It is based on an innovative monocoque made from carbon-fiber that combines exceptional lightweight engineering with the highest levels of stiffness and safety. The new twelve-cylinder with 6.5 liters’ displacement and 515 kW / 700 hp brings together the ultimate in high-revving pleasure with astonishing low-end torque. Thanks to a dry weight of only 1,575 kilograms (3,472 lb), which is extremely low for this class of vehicle, the weight-to-power ratio stands at only 2.25 kilograms per hp (4.96 lb/hp). Even the fantastic 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration figure of just 2.9 seconds and the top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) do not fully describe the Aventador’s extreme performance. And yet, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are down by around 20 percent compared with its predecessor, despite the considerable increase in power (+8%).
The ISR transmission is unique among road-going vehicles, guaranteeing the fastest shifting time (only 50 milliseconds) and a highly emotional shift feel, while the lightweight chassis with pushrod suspension delivers absolute handling precision and competition-level performance. The expressively-designed interior offers hi-tech features ranging from the TFT cockpit display with Drive Select Mode system. The Aventador will be built to the very highest quality standards in an all-new production facility in Sant’Agata Bolognese.
“With the Aventador LP 700-4, the future of the super sports car is now part of the present. Its exceptional package of innovative technologies is unique, its performance simply overwhelming,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Aventador is a jump of two generations in terms of design and technology, it’s the result of an entirely new project, but at the same time it’s a direct and consistent continuation of Lamborghini’s brand values. It is extreme in its design and its performance, uncompromising in its standards and technology, and unmistakably Italian in its style and perfection. Overall, the dynamics and technical excellence of the Aventador LP 700-4 makes it unrivalled in the worldwide super sports car arena.”
Aventador: the name of one of the most courageous of all bulls
According to its tradition, Lamborghini’s new flagship bears the name of a bull – naturally, a particularly courageous specimen from the world of the Spanish Corrida. Aventador was the name of a bull that entered into battle in October 1993 at the Saragossa Arena, earning the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera” for its outstanding courage.
A sculpture of extreme dynamics
For Lamborghini, design is always the beauty of aggressive power, the elegance of breathtaking dynamics. From the very first glance, the new Aventador is unmistakably a Lamborghini, clothed in the brand’s characteristic and distinctive design language – with its extremely powerful proportions, its exact lines and precise surfaces, and with taut muscularity in every one of its details. The designers in the Centro Stile Lamborghini have carefully developed this design language to give the Aventador a significant new edge. It is an avantgarde work of art, an incredibly dynamic sculpture, from the sharply honed front end through the extremely low roofline to the distinctive rear diffuser. Every line has a clear function, every form is dictated by its need for speed, yet the overall look is nothing less than spectacular and breathtaking.
The doors open upward – of course
Truly impressive proportions come from an overall length of 4,78 meters (188.19 in.) matched with an impressive width of 2,26 meters (88.98 in.) including the exterior mirrors, and further accentuated by an extremely low height of just 1.136 mm (44.72 in.). It goes without saying that both doors of the carbon-fiber monocoque open upward – a feature that was first introduced in the now legendary Countach and then used for subsequent V12 models such as Diablo and Murciélago. However, the Aventador also evokes its immediate predecessor the Murciélago – electronically managed air intakes open depending on the outdoor temperature and the need for cooling air,ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those whishing to flaunt the heart of their Lamborghini, the optional transparent engine bonnet exhibits the twelve-cylinder engine like a technical work of art in a display case. Exclusive and high-tech interior
The Aventador’s spacious interior combines the fine exclusivity of premium materials and perfect Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and generous equipment. The red switch cover on the broad center tunnel encloses the start button used to awaken the twelve-cylinder. The interior is dominated by a next-generation dashboard – as in a modern airplane, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD screen using innovative display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to the standard-fit multimedia and navigation system.
Carbon-fiber monocoque
The new Lamborghini flagship has a full monocoque. The entire occupant cell, with tub and roof, is one single physical component. This ensures extreme rigidity and thus outstanding driving precision, as well as an extremely high level of passive safety for the driver and his passenger. The entire monocoque weighs only 147.5 kilograms (325.18 lb).
The monocoque, together with the front and rear Aluminium frames, features an impressive combination of extreme torsional stiffness of 35,000 Newton meters per degree and weighs only 229.5 kilograms (505.9 lb).
Maximum revs, amazing sound
For the Aventador LP 700-4, the engineers in Lamborghini’s R&D Department have developed a completely new high-performance power unit – an extremely powerful and high-revving, but very compact power unit. At 235 kilograms (518 lb), it is also extremely lightweight. A V12 with 515 kW (700 hp) at 8,250 rpm sets a whole new benchmark, even in the world of super sports cars. The maximum torque output is 690 Newton meters (509 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm. The extremely well-rounded torque curve, the bull-like pulling power in every situation, the spontaneous responsiveness and, last but not least, the finely modulated but always highly emotional acoustics are what make this engine a stunning power plant of the very highest order.
Innovative transmission for maximum performance
Engineers at Lamborghini have created the perfect mate for the new twelve-cylinder engine with the highly innovative ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission. The development objective was clearly formulated – to build not only the fastest robotized gearbox, but also to create the world’s most emotional gear shift. Compared with a dual-clutch transmission, not only is the ISR gearbox much lighter, it also has smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit – both key elements in the field of lightweight engineering for super sports cars.
Refined and safe with all-wheel drive
This kind of extreme power must be delivered reliably to the road. The driver of the Aventador LP 700-4 can depend fully on its permanent all-wheel drive – indicated by the 4 in the model designation. In the driveline, an electronically controlled Haldex coupling distributes the forces between front and rear. In a matter of milliseconds, this coupling adapts the force distribution to match the dynamic situation. A self-blocking rear differential together with a front differential electronically controlled by ESP make for even more dynamic handling. The Drive Select Mode System enables the driver to choose vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differential, steering and dynamic control) from three settings – Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (track) – to suit his individual preferences. Pushrod suspension
Lamborghini has equipped its new V12 super sports car with an innovative and highly sophisticated suspension concept. The pushrod spring and damper concept was inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to meet the needs of a high-performance road-going vehicle. Together with aluminum double wishbone suspension and a carbon-fiber ceramic brake system, this lightweight chassis represents a further aspect of the new flagship’s unique technology concept.
Extensive assistance and safety systems
In the hands of its driver, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is a high-precision machine – spontaneous, direct and always reliable. The driver is also assisted by the latest electronic systems such as the incredibly sporty, adjustable ESP system. When it comes to passive safety, front, head-thorax and knee airbags play their part alongside the extremely stiff carbon-fiber cell.
A rich and wide-ranging individualization program
A Lamborghini should always fit perfectly with the style and preferences of its owner. To this end, the range of individualization options is virtually inexhaustible. There is a selection of 13 production paint colors to choose from, three of which are highly sophisticated matt tones. A choice of two-tone interiors are offered with the “Sportivo” and “Elegante” versions, while a premium audio system and reversing camera are among the many technology options. And of course, the “Ad Personam” individualization program knows no limits when it comes to colors and materials.
The price of the Lamborghini Aventador and market delivery UK: GBP 201.900,00 (suggested retail price taxes excluded) Europe: € 255.000 (suggested retail price taxes excluded) USA: 379.700 USD (suggested retail price – GGT included) China: RMB 6.270.000,00 (suggested retail price taxes included) Japan: YEN 39.690.000,00 (suggested retail price taxes included)
The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 in late summer 2011.

Most Expensive Cars
In The World: Top 10 List 2011-2012
What is the most
expensive car in the world? The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for
$8,700,000 in 1987. However, that car and many alike will not be included in
this list because it is not available on the market today. It is hard to
imagine someone would actually spend 8 million dollars on a car instead of
using it for something more productive. However, if you had the money and
opportunity, you would probably spend a small fraction of it on a collection of
supercars for your private garage.
Here are the 10 most expensive production cars on the market; we will
not include concept cars. World's Most Expensive Cars:
1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sports $2,400,000. This is by far
the most expensive street legal car available on the market today (the base
Veyron costs $1,700,000). It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in
2.5 seconds. It is also the fastest street legal car when tested again on July
10, 2010 with the 2010 Super Sport Version reaching a top speed of 267 mph.
When competing against the Bugatti Veyron, you better be prepared!
2. Pagani Zonda Clinque Roadster $1,850,000. One of the most exotic cars out there is one of the most expensive. It can go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph.
3. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000. The most powerful and the most expensive Lamborghini ever built is the third on the list. It takes 3.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and it has a top speed of 211 mph. Its rarity (limited to 20) and slick design are the reasons why it is so expensive and costly to own.
3. Koenigsegg Agera R $1,600,000. The Agera R can burn 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 260 mph. It has the parts to reach 270 mph, but the supercar is electronically capped at 235 mph. With the completion of certain paperwork, the company will unlock the speed limit for one occasion.
4. McLaren F1 $970,000. In 1994, the McLaren F1 was the fastest and most expensive car. Even though it was built 15 years ago, it has an unbelievable top speed of 240 mph and reaching 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Even today, the McLaren F1 is still top on the list and outperforms many other supercars.
5. Ferrari Enzo $670,000. The most popular supercar ever built. The Enzo has a top speed of 217 mph and reaching 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Only 400 units were produced and it is currently being sold for over $1,000,000 at auctions.
6. Pagani Zonda
C12 F $667,321. Produced by a small independent company in Italy, the Pagani
Zonda C12 F is the 6th most expensive car in the world. It promises to delivery
a top speed of 215 mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.
7. SSC Ultimate
Aero $654,400. Don't let the price tag fool you, the 7th most expensive car
is actually the 3rd fastest street legal car in the world with a top speed of
257 mph+ and reaching 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. This baby cost less than half as
much as the Bugatti Veyron, yet has enough power to compete against the most
expensive car. It is estimated that only 25 of this exact model will ever be
produced.
8. Ascari A10 $650,000. This badboy can reach a tested top speed of 215 mph, zooming
0-60 in 2.8 seconds. The British car company plans to assemple 50 of these
supercars in their factory in Banbury, England.
9. Saleen S7 Twin
Turbo $555,000. The first true American production certified supercar, this
cowboy is also rank 4th for the fastest car in the world. It has a top speed of
248 mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. If you are a true American
patriot, you can be proud to show off this car.
10. Koenigsegg CCX $545,568. Swedish made, the Koenigsegg is
fighting hard to become the fastest car in the world. Currently, it is the 5th
fastest car in the world with a top speed of 245 mph+, the car manufacture
Koenigsegg has just released the Koenigsegg Agera R to compete against the
Bugatti Veyron. The company is a tough contender and will continue to try and
produce the fastest car in the world. Good luck with that

Lanborghini LPS70-4
Lamborghinis have
long stood for sheer, menacing speed, usually courtesy of a monster engine.
It's a solid formula, but any engineer will tell you that you eventually reach
a point of diminishing returns. How, then, do you make an even more insane
Lamborghini? Make it lighter.
Lamborghini
first applied the "lighter is better" approach to the compact
Gallardo back in 2007, aptly naming the special model the Superleggera, or
"super-light." Extensive use of carbon-fiber and the deletion of such
frivolities as a radio and cup holders knocked more than 200 pounds off of the
curb weight, allowing the stripped-down, road-legal track car to hit 62 mph in
3.8 seconds. The lack of creature comforts didn't scare away buyers --
Lamborghini moved 618 Gallardo Superleggeras during its one-year production run.
Built
on the success of the original and with lessons learned in the new, one-make
Lamborghini Super Trofeo racing series, Lamborghini is bringing back the
Superleggera, and it's lighter and wilder than ever. The speed freaks in
Sant'Agata went over the Gallardo, now in a new generation known as the LP
560-4, with a fine-tooth comb and managed to shave 38 more pounds over the
first Gallardo Superleggera, dropping the curb weight to just 2954 pounds and
making it the lightest Lamborghini available.
To
strip 154 pounds from a standard Gallardo LP 560-4, Lamborghini engineers first
turned to the original Superleggera's bag of tricks. The exterior mirrors, the
new rear diffuser and side sills, the wing, the engine compartment lid and
parts of the underbody are all carbon-fiber, as are the interior door panels,
the transmission tunnel, the shifter surround, and the seat shells. Where the
last Superleggera used polycarbonate instead of glass for the engine window,
the new model uses the lightweight material for the rear and side windows as
well. In all, 88 of the 154 pounds lost came from the carbon-fiber and another
28.6 pounds were lost in the 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels. Of course, this is
Lamborghini, not Lotus. They couldn't just go on a crash diet and leave it at
that. No, they revamped the engine computer and wrung an extra 10 horsepower
out of the 5.2-liter V-10, hence the 570 moniker. That of course refers to
metric horsepower. U.S. models will have 562 horsepower available by either
measure at 8000 rpm, with 398 lb-ft of torque is available at 6500 rpm.
With
only 5.18 pounds for each of those ponies to carry, Lamborghini says it has
knocked 0.2 seconds off its estimated 0-to-62-mph time. The Gallardo
Superleggera now explodes to 62 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds, blows past 124 mph
in 10.2 seconds, and tops out at 202 mph. Those numbers are conservative,
because we got a standard Gallardo LP 560-4 to hit 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
Not bad for a car that also lowered its C02 emissions by 20.5 percent and
improved its city fuel economy by 2 mpg on automatic transmission models.
That's
not to say that the Gallardo has suddenly become a gas miser. Equipped with an
optional six-speed manual, the Superleggera manages just 12 mpg city and 20 mpg
highway. Stick with the E-Gear single-clutch automated manual and the numbers
improve slightly to 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. Either way, power meets the
ground through all four wheels with 70 percent of it going to the rear.
Handling
all that power are the aforementioned 19-inch wheels, which have been wrapped
in Pirelli P-Zero Corsa rubber made exclusively for the Superleggera.
Suspension tuning lifted from the Super Trofeo cars keeps the wheels planted
and the ride rock-solid, but such is the price for absolute performance.
Stopping duty is handled by 14.37-inch steel rotors and aluminum eight-piston
calipers in front and 14.0-inch rotors and four-piston calipers in the rear.
Stability control is standard and offers three modes, allowing you to dial in
your preferred level of insanity.
If
those aren't enough for what you have in mind, 15-inch carbon-ceramic front
rotors clamped by six-piston calipers and 14-inch carbon-ceramic rear rotors
with four-piston calipers are optional. The race fever doesn't stop there. If
total domination on the track is your goal, four-point harnesses, a fire
extinguisher, and a steel roll cage are all optional, as is a larger rear
wing. For those on the opposite end of the spectrum, or even those who
prefer some modicum of civility with their madness, the Superleggera isn't
entirely without creature comforts. The interior is wrapped in black Alcantara (which is lighter than
leather) with colored accent stitching, and air conditioning and power windows
are standard. If you're willing to give up some of your weight savings, a
navigation system, backup camera, alarm, a storage package, LED lighting,
special floor mats and Lamborghini's front-end lifting system are all optional
extras.
You
may want to spring for that lift system, lest you tear up that pointy new nose and the enormous air intakes
that feed the giant radiators needed to cool the monster V-10 and create a
familial resemblance to the mighty Murcielago. Lamborghini has also done some
work around the back end with that new rear diffuser mentioned earlier, and new
quad exhaust pipes. Overall, the new body work adds 3.4 inches to the
Superleggera's length, but all other dimensions remain identical to the
original. Lamborghini hasn't announced a price for its latest lightweight
screamer, but the original model's $220,000 base price is a good starting
point. Adding options will surely push that tally much higher, but if you can
afford a Superleggera in the first place, you probably aren't worried about
that.
