Due to the tremendous and overwhelming success of our 2010 Hollywood Blvd. Red Carpet event with the Kids of Courage organization, the Lamborghini Club of Los Angeles (LCLA) is getting ready to host their 2012 Spring / Summer event.

While our 2010 red carpet event was truly an unforgettable experience. LCLA is proud and extremely honored to again partner with Kids of Courage and help the dreams of these kids come true.

This year the LCLA is ensuring that the event will be bigger, better and will soar to new highest…with hot air balloon rides!  We can’t wait to see the huge smiles on the faces of these truly remarkable children as they enjoy the excitement of riding in a hot air balloon.  

Stay tuned for more information about this upcoming event.

Lamborghini reportedly will unveil a new ultra-luxury utility vehicle, to be called MLC, at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show in April. According to Britain's Auto Express, a three-door SUV concept will be introduces in Beijing that shares its underpinnings with the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, as well as a new Bentley SUV that's due in 2014.

The publication said the Lambo SUV is "almost certainly bound for production in 2015," with a projected price of around $200,000. Italy's Quattroroute published a sketch of what it said was the new Lamborghini SUV. The vehicle in the sketch resembles the stillborn Lamborghini Estoque on steroids.

If approved for production, the Lambo SUV would likely be built on VW's modular MLB architecture. Auto Express said the Lambo would be powered by a front-mounted 584-horsepower version of the Gallardo's 5.2-liter V10. It could also share a high-performance plug-in hybrid powertrain that's being developed by Bentley.

The Italian based automaker Lamborghini is planning to introduce a new model into its lineup in the shape of an SUV, and as the company’s CEO Stephan Winkelmann has already confirmed earlier this year, the “Raging Bull” is ready to offer a third “everyday” model for its future customers.

Even if there aren’t any official details about the upcoming Lamborghini SUV, the crossover is expected to go against the newest model in Maserati’s lineup, the Kubang, which will enter the market in the luxury crossover segment. Rumors say that the upcoming Lamborghini SUV will have a front fascia inspired by the Gallardo, a raked windscreen, a prominent shoulder line, a unique greenhouse, a dual exhaust system and mesh inserts.

The upcoming Lamborghini SUV might be powered by a hybrid powerplant, where the company’s V8 or even V10 engine will be mated to an electric motor, which would lead to low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions along with an impressive performance for a large vehicle.

Lamborghini’s flirtations with rear-wheel drive started (or, rather, re-started) with the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni. Two-wheel-drive Lambos are now a solid part of the Italian automaker’s lineup, with the Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder joining the coupe.

Not since the ultra-rare Diablo SV Roadster appeared in 1998 has Lamborghini built a rear-drive roadster. But unlike the SV, which never saw production, the rear-drive Spyder unveiled at the Los Angeles auto show is not just the real deal, it’s Lambo’s entry-level droptop. We’d first spotted the pre-production version of the two-wheel-drive Spyder a little more than a year ago when spies caught it on the Nürburgring.

Naturally, the new Spyder’s largely the same as its coupe counterpart. The 5.2-liter V10 produces 542 horsepower and, like the coupe, the Spyder’s suspension has been tweaked to suit rear-wheel-drive. The car’s also got some aerodynamics adaptations. The result is a ragtop that does zero to 62 in 4.2 seconds and tops out at 198 mph. The Spyder, like the coupe, also has a 45-percent locking rear differential and stability control that, in Corsa mode, allows more tail-out action. 

A beautiful multi million dollar mansion, in the Hollywood Hills, was the setting of Lamborghini Club of Los Angeles (LCLA) most recent private party. 

For this exclusive event, LCLA was very proud to partner with Louis XIII de Remy Martin Congac to host this one-of-a-kind private event that was attended by over 50 LCLA members. Throughout the evening, LCLA members enjoyed breathtaking views of the Los Angeles skyline and were treated to fine food, crisp champagne, and spectacular Louis XIII de Rémy Martin cognac tasting. 

LCLA would especially like to thank Louis XIII de Remy Martin Congac and its members for making this event another successful and memorable experience. 

After teasing us innumerably with plenty of spy shots, Italian super car maker Lamborghini has formally unwrapped the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show. The car, as revealed by the countless leaks much ahead of it’s formal unveiling, looks similar to what we had come to expect with the styling borrowing many cues from the Reventon concept. While the Aventador looks very sharp due to it’s pointed front end, it actually is a little rounded than it’s predecessor, the Murcielago.

The supercar is larger than the Murcielago but since it’s entire body shell is made of carbon fiber, it enables the Aventador to be reasonably light at 1575 kilograms as well as strong. The all wheel drive Aventador comes with pushrod suspension up front, harking straight back to the race track. Power, a lot of it though, is produced from the delicious V12 engine that weighs just 235 kilos and which spits out 691 Italian thoroughbreds at a sky high 8,250 rpm.

The engine is mated to an ultra light weight, 79 kilo ISR gearbox which ensures that gearshifts take all of a 50 milliseconds. And that is way faster than any manual shift can ever hope to be. All those stallions allied with 690 Nm of twist will ensure that the Aventador can hit speeds in excess of 300 kph while accelerating furiously past 100 kph even before you can finish reading this sentence!

While still only a concept, the Sesto Elemento will likely evolve into a future Lamborghini production car. The name, which means "sixth element," refers to carbon -- element six on the periodic table. And there's a lot of that in this car.

Nearly every part of the Sesto Elemento -- including the wheels and suspension -- are made from carbon. As a result, the entire car weighs just 2,200 pounds. With a 570-horsepower V-10 engine, it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 2.5 seconds, Lamborghini says.

Set apart by its vast rear spoiler and engine cover designed for maximum ventilation, the latest Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition is powered by a 562bhp V10 engine good for 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds and comes with the marque's all-wheel-drive system.

Marking the success of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo racing series, the new car is nevertheless claimed to offer "one hundred per cent road-going usability". It is equipped with Skorpius wheels with yellow-painted brake callipers and carbon-ceramic brake discs. Externally, the car has matt black paintwork designed to complement the carbon-fibre used to make the mirror casings and front air diffuser. The entire interior is finished in black Alcantara with yellow accents and more carbon fibre, along with the Blancpain logo, in yellow stitching.

"In just its second year, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo has established itself in the premier league of gentleman's racing," said Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobil Lamborghini.

Following closely in the footsteps of its rival from Maranello, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed in an interview with German Automobilewoche magazine that the Italian purveyor of high-end supercars is working on a hybrid Gallardo. Not surprisingly, the electrically-assisted Bull is expected to hit the market in 2015 – the same year as the upcoming fuel-saving Ferrari.

In contrast to the recently announced fully electric SLS Gullwing from Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini's eco-friendly efforts won't include replacing the traditional gasoline-guzzling powerplant completely. Instead, Winkelmann suggests that a small electric motor would be used solely to get the car moving at low speeds, after which either the expected V10 or V12 engine would kick the fun into high gear.

In somewhat related news, the boys at Inside Line report that both the Gallardo and Murcièlago lines are destined to receive dedicated track-ready Balboni-style rear-wheel drive models to augment the automaker's already amazingly capable all-wheel drive supercars. Could the stage be set for an AWD hybrid with the front wheels electrically powered and the rears via a conventional powertrain?

Italian automakers Lamborghini launches production of Reventon Spyder supercar. Planning to produce only 9 copies of the super open car. Reventon Spyder, in contrast to the coupe, based on the platform Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce, which inherited the full drive, reinforced frame and Safety 670-strong 6,5-liter V12. And the maximum speed in an open version of a few worse aerodynamics will be less than the coupe, accelerated up to 355 km / h. Lamborghini Reventon Spyder will be one of the most expensive in the world of mass-produced car - the price will be about 1.6 million dollars. World premiere of new 2010 Lamborghini Reventon Spyder will be held in September at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show.
