New Lamborghini Urus Teaser Shots Leaked, Hint At 4-Dr Sedan

Last week, Lamborghini released teaser photos of their new impending model, the Lamborghini Urus, while keeping all other details sparse, at best. No word on what the actual Lambo body itself will look like, though the guys over at Autopia have made the horrifying suggestion that the photos appear to be a preview of what would be Lamborghini’s first 4-door sedan. According to them, the Urus’ prematurely revealed b-panel is thick enough to indicate an engine that’s been moved to the front, most likely to clear space for a rear seat. Oh, we shutter to think.

Full Lambo striptease after the jump

Bottom line: At first we were downright shocked by Porsche branching out into the 4-dr market with the impending 2010 Porsche Panamera, but now that Lamborghini might also be throwing their hat in the performance sedan ring, we’re downright intrigued. With rich legacies in the sports car market, we’re sure that any new offering from either powerhouse [even if its a minivan], would be a force to be reckoned with on the asphalt. What we’re anxious to see is just how well they pull it off. Keys, please?

10 Cars That Are Guaranteed To Get You Laid

A question that man has feverishly wrestled with since the dawn of time: ”How can I score with that hot chick?” Pick-up lines are overrated and have a higher failure rate than an inner-city high school, and date-rape drugs have the potential to get you 5-10 w/o parole - so whatever is a horny guy to do?

Well looks will got you pretty far, and personality even more so, but if you’re bankrupt on both, a surefire way to get lucky is to drive a sweet ride. So on behalf of RideLust, I have taken it upon myself to compile a list of the top 10 surefire “panty peelers” - rides so undeniably lust-able, any man behind the wheel is guaranteed to score at least one piece of quality ass [by "quality" we mean anything from a 7 to a 10; below a 7 and forget a Lambo, you could score that with a Corolla].

1. Lamborghini Gallardo


Although less expensive [and slightly less powerful] than the Lamborghini Murcielago, the Gallardo is Lamborghini’s best selling sports car - and thus the most recognizable [well, subtle exterior colors like "Epilepsy Orange" and "Reflective Traffic Vest Green" help a little, too]. The Lamborghini Gallardo is a fool-proof way to score, we guarantee it.

2. Bentley Continental GT


An incredibly luxurious sports car, driving a Bentley Continental GT is as good as dipping your exhaust manifold [yeah, that one] in gold.

3. Porsche Carrera GT


The Carrera GT will get you laid, but you have to possess a certain “presence”. Porsche coupes, even the ridiculously expensive ones, have an unfortunate tendency to send mixed signals in the “orientation” area. So if you’re on the prowl in a Carrera; no silk ascots or driving goggles, and if you have a European accent, keep the rolling of your R’s to a minimum.

4. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

<
Benz’s attract the fairer sex like moths to a flame, we’re pretty sure all you need to do is stand next to the McLaren and you should manage to snag a babe or two.

5. Ferrari 430 Scuderia


So fast it’s dangerous, taking those curves at white-knuckle speed will get the adrenaline rushing, and the lady in the passenger’s seat feeling wild.

6. Dodge Viper SRT10 ARC


You can never go wrong with 600-horsepower and sleek American muscle - it’s the automotive equivalent of the All-American quarterback, absolutely irrestible to the ladies.

7. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1


Alright, so we’ve got a ride crush on the new ‘vette, so sue us. Although Corvette’s usually have an unfortunate mid-life crisis stigma attached to to them, we’re willing to bet the Corvette ZR1 could jump those hurdles in a single bound [or, at the very least, will get you a semi-hot older chick].

8. Maserati Quattroporte


Maserati’s flagship model, the Quattroporte exudes power and grace, which, like the Corvette, might end up scoring you a few older chicks in addition to the usual gaggle of rubber rats [we mean that affectionately]. Unlike the Corvette, however, the Maserati’s well-established luxury super car status gurantees that any older chicks it attracts will be hot older chicks [think: Demi Moore circa Charlie's Angels, or Penelope Cruz circa any-f*ing-time].

9. Bugatti Veyron


Sort of making the list by default, the Bugatti Veyron is guranteed to get you some simply because it’s consistently ranked among the top 10 most expensive cars in the world. Even a chick who knows nothing about cars [or even just plain nothing - I mean lets face it, you're not after her for her scintillating conversational skills] knows a Bugatti [and a sex symbol] when she sees one.

10. Cadillac Escalade


Now hear us out - even though it’s not considered a “super” anything, the Cadillac Escalade is more of a chick magnet than it’s given credit for. Even though we know that some suburbanites are aggressively attempting to turn it into a grocery-getter, there are still some true mack daddies out there who are holding firm to their Escalades and the bad ass sex appeal they exude. And believe us, Escalades do radiate sex appeal. The big, bulky exterior inspires images of power and raw masculinity, so much so that many a female fantasy often revolves around “intimacy” that actually takes place in the Escalade [or on it, depending on how flexible you are]. So not only will the Escalade get you laid, but with plenty of interior space and rear-folding seats, it will get you laid anywhere, anytime.

Porsche 911 GT2 Readies for the Road and the Market Place

Porsche 911 GT2 Brochure

The official for the 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 has been released and should have all car affecieonado’s standing up to take notice. If you go solely by the numbers there is little that the GT2 should leave its driver feeling deficient of. The appearance of the GT2 is perfectly Porsche and distinctly 911, while the performance of the car would be expected to be up to or above the auto manufacturers distinctive standards. But wait… We are just talking about a brochure here.

Porsche911GT2-a.jpg

Ofcourse all of what I have said is exactly what the ad campaign for the 2008 911 GT2 is all about: Respect Required. And when referring to the car the fine marketers of Porsche point out that “it doesn’t have to move to take your breath away.” They are quick to point out however that Porsche is doing more than providing you a 530-hp rocket ship with which to propel its driver at speeds slightly above 200mph, but a safe car aswell. The 911 GT2 adheres to all the safety regulations required by the U.S. and in some aspects goes way further. With stability control and its automatic breaking for corrections to understeer and oversteer the 2008 GT2 will do its part to make sure that your rocket ship keeps to the road (or track if you are exceeding the speed limits and not on the Autobahn in Germany or on a closed course here in the US). 

As the number of millionaires in the US continues to grow I hope to find many of them heading out in 2008 to pay their respects to Porshe’s new demon on wheels. That way those of us traveling about in our American made Ponies and lunking SUV’s have something to gape at on our usual commute to work or soccer practice or where ever your travels take you.

Hybrid Technologies, Inc is Driving Lithium to New Limits

Hybrid Technologies, Inc. is out to show everybody that despite the major automakers electric deficiencies the Lithium electric automobile is ready for the road. Most recently for Popular Mechanics they demonstrated two of their electric conversion vehicles, the Electrici Mini Cooper and the two-wheeled Jin Bike. Both examples are just part of the product line being promoted by Hybrid Technologies as they work to bring electric power out of the wall sockets and into our everyday mobile transportation.
You may not here them coming. You may not smell their exhaust after they have passed. But you will someday be thankful that someone is out there pushing the envelope while others sit back and watch.

Ride along in this test drive of a Lithium powered Mini Cooper.

Also take a moment to watch as Hybrid Technologies, inc’s Stealth bike moves silently and without hesitation into New York City traffic.

The cost-to-value ratio of these Lithium conversions is still not in reach for the average car buyer, but that is no reason to stop now. As with any new technology it sometimes takes a bit of time to garner popular acceptance. The first car was often frowned upon by Cowboys and the like as a noisey, smoking contraption that scared their horses, and look where that has taken us. While the technology grows in acceptance and matures you should see the price of these conversions mass produced and more affordable to the average car buyer. But if I have to go without my thoaty V8 exhaust you better be providing me with one killer THX stereo surround sound system in my car.

Take a look at Hyrbid Technologies website to explore what they are doing to advance our Lithium and Electric car technologies. You can also look over their design for their Solar Hybrid Living Home to see how Hybrid design can improve both the way we live and our means of mobility.
