Ugliest Mustang in the World?
Friday, 7 August 2009

We usually don’t write about ugly cars on CarBlog but that thing honestly deserves an article. Presented during SEMA 2008, this is probably the ugliest Mustang you’ll ever get to see, unless they come up with a worse version, next year. Dubbed the “Hardcore Knight” Mustang, it was designed by the guys at Rich Evans Designs who wants to produce 100 limited editions of that … thing. Though I wish him the best of luck, I don’t think during the biggest financial crisis, people will pay big bucks for an ugly car. Do you? - via AutoBlog

REITER Lamborghini LP670 R-SV Revealed stakes its claim for the GT World Championship

This might be one of the cars at the GT World Championship provided the race devil makes the cut that where FIA chooses only 6 monikers. The REITER Lamborghini LP670 R-SV is based on the Lamborghini’s Murcielago Street-legal LP 670-4 SuperVeloce and was unveiled on the occasion of the 24 hours of Spa, the third such car to let go the veil here. The REITER Lamborghini betters it predecessor Murcielago R-GT with the carbon-fiber usage on the exterior and vastly improved aerodynamics.

Under the hood is a ‘stronger’ 6.5 V12 beast producing 670 PS / 493 kW and the restrictor isn’t there, which helps the RS-V register 660 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The Engine Control is regulated by the FIA-ECU from Magneti Marelli. The measurements of this car at 4800 mm length and is 2058 mm width with an overall weight of 1,150kg (plus Ballast) helps it meet the FIA 2010 regulations.

930 bhp Lamborghini Gallardo by Heffner

Let’s just hope this car won’t be rented to idiots that mix alcohol and bravery, because this may be the most powerful Gallardo we have ever seen. Always behind the older (more powerful) brother, Lamborghini Murcielago, Florida based Heffner decided to tune it up and show the world that it can.

Everything started with heavy modded 5 liter V10 engine, steel cylinder liners, a new twin-turbo system fitted to a custom exhaust and intake systems, twin waste gates, new pistons, polished crankshaft journals and blow-off valves. Added to all these the twin-stage electronic boost controller and (the most important) the heavy duty clutch help the tuner to raise power up to 930 bhp and a peak torque of 1032Nm (762lb-ft ).

That’s a fast dinosaur with a carbon fiber rear decklid and a Superleggera inspired rear difuser and spoiler which most of us will never afford, but at least we can look. Right? Again to those that are in the rent-a-car business. Just make sure no idiots drive it, though I’m thinking this may never get into such a garage.
