Hot Lamborghini heels are just a concept
Hot girls, fast cars and glamorous outfits have always gone well together. But when these Lamborghini-brand heals popped up on Gizmodo, we just had to shout: "Where's the blonde?"

Here's a unique problem to have to solve. What do you do when you have more Lamborghinis than you have space to store them? No! You don't get rid of your Italian supercars. You build an underground lift to store your Lambos beneath your driveway in subterranean style.
Lamborghini underground garage.87: Good grief: A Lamborghini with four doors!

Video: Lamborghini Estoque Concept
Check out this video of Lamborghini's Estoque Concept from the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The four door--yes, you read that correctly--supersedan is either a possible competitor to the upcoming Porsche Panamera or the ultimate in Italian blasphemy, depending on your perspective.
Lamborghini builds a family wagon
Lamborghini owners must be aging, because the company just unveiled a concept four door at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. However, the Lamborghini Estate Estoque doesn't come with wood panels, instead showing design cues reminiscent of the Reventon, the limited production model unveiled at last year's Frankfurt auto show. This design language--using sharpened lines, black mesh air intakes, and LED exterior lights--looks to be the new direction for Lamborghini as it considers adding a third model to the existing Gallardo and Murcielago line-up.
Although, according to Lamborghini's news release, the Estoque could be used to take the … Read more
Rich and gaudy: The Gumball 3000 kicks off
Last weekend marked the beginning of the Gumball 3000 rally, the 10th anniversary of the event. As the cars would be on display at the Fairmont Hotel, within walking distance of my home, I went up to take a look. There were plenty of crowds gazing at the penned-in cars, a collection of exotics and rarities that you seldom get a chance to see up close. The rally was set to start that day in San Francisco, with the first stop being Los Angeles, Calif. The drivers go on to Las Vegas, then they are flown to North Korea to … Read more
Asus' Lamborghini phone takes design award
Ferrari may preen for the most attention, but Lamborghini is the auto house that gets the bragging rights for now. The Asus-Lamborghini ZX1 has won the prestigious iF Communication Design Award for "uncompromising quality in style and materials."
It's not the first co-branded Lamborghini phone--Nokia offers its own version--but the ZX1 will definitely turn heads for its original design. Beyond just slapping a logo on its cover, the 3.5G handset sports a "beehive textured air intake" pattern and a "chassis-inspired aerodynamic flow," according to Fareastgizmos. Inside is a 9-way navigational key … Read more

How to drive like a billionaire
Today and tomorrow, some lucky people are driving a set of supercars, including a Ferrari F430, a Lamborghini Gallardo, and a Porsche Turbo 997, around the Auto Club Speedway track in Fontana, Calif. To get this lucky, all you have to do is pony up $4,990 to Supercar Life, a company with a fleet of very fast cars that it uses to host track events. The company provides professional instruction to the drivers, taking the morning of the event day to show them how to drive on the track. During the afternoon, the clients take the wheel.

Asus Lamborghini VX3 pulls into the lab
Maybe it's because we live in Manhattan and don't drive, but computers named after cars have always caught our eye. We've seen licensed laptops based on the Ferrariand Lamborghinibrands before, but we're still waiting for a Prius-branded "green" laptop -- surely a winning marketing tie-in if there ever was one.
We saw the latest entry in the Asus Lamborghini line, the VX3, briefly at CES back in January, and now the final product has roared into the CNET Lab, ready to take on all comers with a brand-new Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU, … Read more
