<p style="text-align: justify;">Use of Madurese, Tanevsky refer to the name of the island in Indonesia. This island, according to Tanevsky, famous for bantengnya. For the Germans, naming a car is almost always associated with the might of the bull.</p>
<p><span id="more-302"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Actually, when in Indonesia, Madura is famous for cows strong. These cows are usually contested in the arena karapan cow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This concept is working together Lamborghini and Audi. Lamborghini himself preparing all project materials. According to Tanevsky, this project is the first hybrid product Lamborghini scheduled out in 2016.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As hybrid cars are fuel efficient and environmentally friendly, does not make this Madurese Lamborghini unattractive. This car is designed with a futuristic framework and paint.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although this design vaguely like the Reventón and the concept car Estoque, but Madura design slimmer, more focused, and more aggressive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the front, features more streamlined Madura on the headlights to make room for the air holes larger. Madurese also designed twisting that can lead more perfect wind. (World Car Fans)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">For the rich and famous it seems to be a statement of success when they own the very expensive fast and super cars. These fast, super cars will usually be found in areas such as Hollywood, Las Vegas, or New York since these are the places where the rich and famous usually work and live. In other countries you might find royalty and upper members of government sporting these cars but few members of the working class will ever have the money to buy one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fast Cars, Super Cars – Looking At The Models</p>
<p><span id="more-56"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The exotic Ferrari Modena is a popular Ferrari model which offers a six speed transmission, a V8 engine, and will get about 11 to 16 mpg. With a price tag of $152,000, this car is capable of doing 189 mph and reaching 60 mph in 4.2 seconds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the top of the line super cars, which is also a fast car, is the Lamborghini. The current Sypder is considered to be one of the most popular super cars available. Voted as the most beautiful car in the world, the Spyder sports a V10 which reaches a speed of 195 mph with the roof up and 191 mph with the roof down. It comes with a price tag of $195,000. Its lightweight aluminum frame allows the car to reach faster speeds and it can do a quarter mile in 12.2 seconds, reaching a speed of 122 mph.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to come down a little closer to earth you might want to take a look at the Dodge Viper. It also offers a V10 which can reach speeds of 190 mph, will do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, and a quarter mile in 11.9 seconds. The Viper is rated for 10 to 20 mpg and comes with a price tag of $80,000. This makes the Viper a super car which is a fast car with a more affordable price tag.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A never-ending classic super car is the Corvette which is put out by none other than Chevrolet. This American icon has been around for several years and continues to improve with age. Available in a coupe or convertible, you can choose from several color combinations. You also have the choice of a 6 or 7 liter engine, and the starting price is about $66,000. These cars have withstood the test of time and continue to be one of the most popular sport cars on the market today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">At the end of World War II Ferruccio Lamborghini satisfied his desire for fast cars by running the cars made by Fiat. Mr. Lamborghini himself ran a small machine shop at the time but gradually turned to the manufacture of tractors as the major effort and occupation of his enterprise and efforts. Business went so went with the tractor trade and industrial empire that by the age of 60 Lamborghini turned his attention to his real love &#8211; building a car himself. It seemed that Lamborghini thought that with his talents he could design, develop and build a better automotive product that either Maserati or Ferrari.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The chassis was multi-tubular, the front mounted engine a 3.5 liter V12 with four overhead camshafts and six authentic Weber carburetors ; driving through the ubiquitous ZG five speed into a limited-slip rear-end it produced 360 horse power and a coil and wishbone independent suspension meant that all power was indeed usable.</p>
<p><span id="more-54"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bodywork was a closed coupe designed by the famous Paolo Dallara and featuring retractable headlamps at the leading edge of the now typical flat curve of the Italian sports car. One must remember that this all occurred in 1963, 20 years before anything built in the U.S. &#8211; that is other than the Chevrolet Corvette &#8211; featured similarly clean aerodynamic lines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But the first Lamborghini was a one-off for the men who built tractors, and although he went on to build about 200 of these cars over the next two years; it was by no means accepted as a super car, at the time. Indeed it took until 1965, at the world famous Turin Motor Show, that Lamborghini himself crossed the dividing line between the rich man&#8217;s toy and the specialist motorcar maker. Originally a Dallara inspired spyder, the Miura T400 which went into production for the coming 1966model year was a mid-engined coupe with a slightly larger, four liter version of the ohc V12 slung transversely behind the two seats, driving the rear wheels by spur gears. This time Lamborghini built his own gearboxes and rear axles, the frame was a box section affair beneath the monococque body. The whole lot, in the end, weighed in at 2700 lbs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The V12 gave a mighty 385 bhp. Top speed of this little coupe indeed coupe could top even 180 miles per hour and made it one of the fastest road cars ever &#8211; certainly enough to place along the best that wore the prancing horse of the neighboring Ferrari factory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was no wonder that the Lamborghini Miura was instantly accepted into the super car league and remains to be said to be one of the best looking and most attractive vehicles that Lamborghini ever gave his name to. Certainly the Miura was most uncompromising and might easily have been for designed for endurance racing at Le Mans rather than for road use. It has been said by critics of the marquee that this is reflected in the high levels of cockpit noise created as all the elegant and powerful precision machinery whirred into vibrant life virtually just inches behind the driver&#8217;s ears, something which is typical of high performance mid-engine sport cars. However fans of thorough bred Italian machinery will state that they would rather listen to this wondrous purr than a cell phone or modern ipod &#8211; or even the conversation of their passenger.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What is so amazing after all of Lamborghini and his craft that the Lamborghini chains of motorcars were all developed from the early experiences of tractors and Fiat motor cars and autos?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-211" title="Lamborghini-Embolado-Superleggera-lg" src="http://www.plyachtracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lamborghini-Embolado-Superleggera-lg-300x225.jpg" alt="Lamborghini-Embolado-Superleggera-lg" width="300" height="225" />The auto industry is full of cars that are both widely popular or so rare that many of us do not recognize them if we saw it driving by us. Out of all of the many types and brands my favorite has and will always be the Lamborghini. This supercar automaker understand what goes into making something that is full of luxury and power.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Murcielago and the Gallardo are two of their most popular models. One that is fairly new to the industry is the Superleggera. This car was debuted during the 2007 Geneva Auto Show to compete against the up and coming Ferrari 430 Scuderia. This super light model was a tribute to the very first Lamborghini model &#8211; the 350GT.</p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This particular model is equipped with an improved intake, exhaust, and ECU that push it to 520 horsepower. All of this is connected to the six speed e-gear transmission that comes standard with it. This is great for many consumers who no longer have to spend $10,000 to add it to the car.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-212" title="Lamborghini Embolado Concept 5" src="http://www.plyachtracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lamborghini-Embolado-Concept-5-300x225.jpg" alt="Lamborghini Embolado Concept 5" width="300" height="225" />What separates this from other models is how lightweight it is. It is lighter then most models by almost 220 pounds. In order to make this possible Lamborghini used carbon fiber panels on the rear diffuser, interior door panels, central tunnel, sport seats, engine cover, and the undertray.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Lamborghini Superleggera costs more then $200,000 and was released in June of 2007. During that time 172 units were made and purchased. However, since then Lamborghini has discontinued it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 YarroW</span></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-203" title="lamborghini gallardo lp560" src="http://www.plyachtracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_wheelsandmore_tuning01-300x176.jpg" alt="lamborghini gallardo lp560" width="300" height="176" />Not for the first time we hear about Wheelsandmore. Some time ago I commented on an Audi R8 in which the German tuning company has done excellent work. And today we bring them back to Wheelandmore, making mischief on a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 which was called &#8220;Yarrow&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even though owning a <strong>Lamborghini</strong> can put you into a very exclusive company with various other rich people and famous celebrities, this doesn’t stop tuning companies from offering tricked out versions of the models from the Italian supercar maker in order to appeal to those who want an even higher degree of exclusivity.</p>
<p><span id="more-158"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-204" title="lamborghini gallardo lp560 1" src="http://www.plyachtracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_wheelsandmore_tuning02-300x176.jpg" alt="lamborghini gallardo lp560 1" width="300" height="176" />This new project from <strong>Wheelsandmore</strong> is further testimony to this, as the team modified the rather exclusive <strong>Gallardo LP 560-4</strong>, taking the power to 620 HP and 785 Nm (580 lb-ft). Dubbed the <strong>YarroW</strong>, the new Gallardo was on the receiving end of a revamped ECU, a new carbon airbox, a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, as well as an enhanced braking system and a coilover suspension. The engine kit costs €12,500 while the brakes are €13,998 and the suspension a measly €8,999.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to a steel exhaust system and a inoxodable exhaust control system, a reprogramming of the ECU and a box of carbon fiber air, the Lamborghini Gallardo engine now generates an output of 620hp (of the 560 hp standard) and a torque of 580lb-ft.On the outside, Wheelsandmore, as its name suggests, fitted a set of 20-inch wheels with 3-piece forged rims, offered in various color and surface options, wrapped in Dunlop Sport Maxx tires. They will cost “just” €11,400. The body kit, which wasn’t priced, includes things like a carbon fiber rear diffuser or side mirrors, while on the inside we can find various carbon fiber accessories.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The tuner also added a few tires &#8220;6sporz&#8221; 20 &#8220;and a suspension with special springs with adjustable rebound and compression, which is also capable of being elevated hydraulically to 1.77&#8243;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-86" title="2010-lamborghini-reventon-12_800x0w" src="http://www.plyachtracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2010-lamborghini-reventon-12_800x0w-300x225.jpg" alt="2010-lamborghini-reventon-12_800x0w" width="300" height="225" />Lamborghini acquaint the ultimate driving machine among open-top two-seaters – the Reventón Roadster is a sports car of breathtaking fascination, menacing power and uncompromising performance. The 6.5 liter twelve-cylinder generates 493 kW (670 PS), catapulting the Roadster from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 330 KM/h (205 mph). The open-top Reventón is not only one of the fastest, but also one of the most luxuries and exclusive cars in the world – Lamborgini also ascertain 2010 Lamborghini Reventon Roadster is limited series. The Lamborghini Reventón is not destined to remain a one-off. Less than 20 Lamborghini friends and collectors will be able to own this extraordinary car and, naturally, enjoy the incomparable pleasure of driving it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Open-top sports cars are a tradition at Lamborghini that stretches back over 40 years. In 1968, the company from Sant’Agata Bolognese built a Miura without a fixed roof as a one-off. The Diablo Roadster appeared in 1995 with its targa roof anchored to the engine cover.</p>
<p><span id="more-85"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All Lamborghinis are created with an avantgarde approach to design; a fast-moving technical sculpture. The Reventón Roadster is derived from the same creative thinking as the Coupé. Its designers found their inspiration in aviation – the aggressive wedge shape evokes images of fighter jets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The powerful arrowhead form at the front, the mighty air intakes pulled way forward, the broad side skirts, the upwards opening scissor doors and the rear end with its menacing edges – the Roadster is clad in a design of maximum functionality and spectacular clarity. Details set stylish accents, such as headlamps featuring bi-xenon units with LEDs forming the daytime running lights and indicators. The rear lamps are also equipped with LEDs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like the Coupé, the Reventón Roadster measures 4700 mm (185 in.) long. It has a wheelbase of 2665 mm (105 in.) and is 2058 mm (81 in.) wide and 1132 mm (45 in.) high. The driver and passenger seating positions are low and sporty, separated by a substantial central tunnel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Behind the two seats are two hidden pop-up bars that deploy upwards in just a few hundredths of a second in the event of an imminent rollover. A fixed, horizontal wing-shaped member behind the seats bears the third brake light. The design of the Roadster’s long back is also quite distinct from that of the Coupé. The engine bonnet is virtually horizontal and a total of four windows made from glass provide a view of the mighty V12 in all its technical elegance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Stiff bodyshell base</strong><br />
The base bodyshell of the Reventón is already so stiff that the Roadster requires only minimal reinforcement. It has a dry weight of only 1690 Kg (3,725 lbs.), just 25 Kg, (55 lbs.) more than the Coupé.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like the Coupé, the cell of the Roadster is made from high-strength steel profile and carbon components joined with specialist adhesive and rivets. The bodyshell is made almost entirely from carbon fiber elements, with sheet steel used only for the outer door skins</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Exclusive grey paintwork</strong><br />
A unique paint finish completes the razor sharp design language of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster. For this exclusive special edition, designers have created a new shade of matt grey called Reventón Grey. As for the Reventón Coupé, which is a slightly different shade of grey, this is a matt paint finish that, in the sunlight, displays an unexpected impression of depth thanks to its special metal particles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The wheels of the Reventón Roadster also incorporate the interplay of matt and glossy elements. The five spokes of the rims each bear a Y-form, and on each spoke are mounted small crescent-shaped wings made from matte carbon. These provide not only an unusual visual impact, but also a turbine effect that further improves cooling of the mighty ceramic brake discs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Aircraft-style displays</strong><br />
The interior of the Reventón Roadster conveys the same powerful design as the exterior. The cockpit is structured with technical clarity, the interfaces arranged for functionality. Like a modern aircraft, the open two-seater no longer has classic analogue instrumentation – instead, information is delivered via two transreflective and one transmissive liquid-crystal displays.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The driver can switch between two modes at the touch of a button – one digital view with illuminated bars and one level with classic round dials, albeit with changing color graphics. Centrally located at the top of the display is the G-force meter. It represents the intensity of the forces acting on the Reventón Roadster under acceleration, braking and heavy cornering; the same format used in Formula 1.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The instruments are mounted in a casing machined from solid aluminum which is housed in a carbon fiber dashboard. The interior displays uncompromisingly clean craftsmanship and features a host of carbon fiber applications – e.g. on the center tunnel – aluminum, Alcantara and leather. The central panels and the seat cushions are perforated, with precision stitching gracing their outer edges. Lamborghini has equipped the Reventón Roadster with full options.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>An icon of engine design</strong><br />
The twelve-cylinder engine that powers the Reventón Roadster is a Lamborghini icon – and the technical feature that defines the character of the car. It is one of the world’s most powerful naturally-aspirated engines. With a compression ratio of 11 : 1 and a displacement of 6496 cc (396.41 in3,) it generates 670 PS (493 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Its maximum torque of 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) kicks in at 6,000 rpm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The V12 engine is a masterpiece of Italian engineering. Two chains drive its four camshafts that, in turn, operate the 48 valves. Together with the three-phase adjustable intake manifold, the variable valve timing delivers a meaty torque build-up. Dry sump lubrication ensures that the hi-tech power unit has a constant supply of oil, even under heavy lateral acceleration. The absence of the oil sump means a low mounting position – benefitting the car’s outstanding handling characteristics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The V12 catapults the Reventón Roadster from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 330 Km/h (205 mph). It reacts with the eagerness of a racing engine to input from the right foot, revving to 8,000 rpm and beyond, and performing a symphony that sends shudders along the spine. The deep booming bass, the powerful mid-range and the exultant horn section play music that, once heard, can never be forgotten.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>All-wheel drive for maximum traction</strong><br />
n classic Lamborghini style, the aluminum engine is mounted longitudinally in front of the rear axle, with the transmission ahead of it beneath the center tunnel. This layout results in 58 percent of the overall weight being borne by the rear wheels – ideal for a powerful sports car.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This layout accommodates the Viscous Traction permanent all-wheel drive. Under normal conditions, it sends the vast majority of the driving force to the rear wheels. Should they begin to spin, the central viscous coupling sends up to 35 percent of the power via an additional shaft to the front axle. Limited-slip differentials are located there and at the rear axle with 25 and 45 percent lock respectively.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lamborghini introduced the all-wheel drive principle with the Diablo. The reason back then was just as clear as it is today &#8211; four driven wheels grip far better than two, and the more powerful the engine, the greater the impact of this fundamental law of physics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also standard on the Reventón Roadster is the e.gear automated six-speed sequential manual transmission. The driver controls the gear shift, which is activated hydraulically via two steering wheel paddles. In addition to the “Normal” mode, the system offers a “Corsa” and a “low adherence” mode. The driver just has to keep his foot to the floor &#8211; the rest is handled by e.gear.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Running gear layout from motorsport</strong><br />
The Reventón Roadster keeps the extreme power of its engine in check with a running gear layout derived directly from motorsport. Each wheel boasts double wishbone suspension, with one spring strut on each side of the front axle and two each at the rear. The front end of the car can be raised by 40 mm (about 1.6 in.) to protect the underside of the vehicle over potholes or on steep entrances into underground garages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The open two-seater runs on 18-inch wheels. The front tires measure 245/35, while the rears are 335/30. Dedicated air channels in the bodyshell cool the four wheel brakes. Carbon-fiber ceramic discs are standard – they have an extremely lightweight construction, operate with virtually no fade, are corrosion-free and achieve the highest service life. Each disc has a diameter of 380 mm ( 15 in.) and is gripped by six-piston calipers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As fast as the open two-seater may be, its road manners are impeccable. Its performance limits are extremely high, yet effortless to control. And, on exiting a bend, all four wheels stick tenaciously to the asphalt. The permanent all-wheel drive dovetails the car firmly with the road, delivering decisive benefits in traction and stability.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>High-performance aerodynamics</strong><br />
A further distinctive characteristic of the Reventón Roadster is its calm directional stability even at extremely high speeds – a feature that also turns fast highway stretches into sheer joy. Alongside the bodyshell design and the smooth underbody, which culminates in a powerfully formed diffuser, the rear spoiler carries responsibility for downforce. It deploys from the rear edge at about 130 Km/h (80 mph) and adopts an even steeper angle as of about 220 Km/h (136 mph). The entire aerodynamic concept – around and through the car – is radically laid out for performance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>State-of the-art development techniques</strong><br />
Lamborghini used state-of-the-art, highly networked processes to bring the Reventón Roadster to life. The design, CAD work and model making that took place in the Centro Stile, which opened in 2004, were accompanied continuously by specialists and test engineers from the Research &amp; Development Department.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Design Department is directly linked to the neighbouring Ufficio Tecnico, ensuring rapid implementation of ideas. Lamborghini’s capabilities also include the independent development of the complete electronic platform. This incorporates all control units – including those for the V12 and the innovative cockpit displays.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All units of the Reventón Roadster are being built on the Sant’Agata Bolognese production line, with perfect craftsmanship and to the highest levels of quality.</p>
