Rich People's Garages

Rich People's Garages
Ever dream of opening your garage door one day and there's the car of your dreams inside? That's pretty much what mattzooooom has put together for us. Except it's cars, plural. We're not sure what all these lucky people did in order to stock their 3- and 4-door garages (and barns and warehouses) with such fine examples of sheetmetal, but we wanna know!

In the meantime, see what Rich People's Garages look like. Hint: they've generally got at least 1 Italian exotic, 1 German luxury sedan and a pristine American muscle car inside.

To better understand why someone would shell out $200k+ on one of these things (as if they need a justification), see what Tiff Needell had to say about the F430 Scuderia

Lamborghini Reventón Gets Fired Up

Lamborghini Reventón Gets Fired Up

The Lamborghini Reventón (pronounced: reh-ben-TON) is the stuff of boys' dreams and men's desires, and this video from SpeedandMotion will have you wishing you could afford this car.

Only 20 are going to be built. The car in this vid is Number 1 and it has the badge to prove it.

Get up and close and personal with every LED light, the futuristic-looking LCD gauge cluster (that will switch to partial-analog mode at the hit of a switch), the seat cushions that mirror the shape of the car's nose, even the 'Lamborghini' emblazoned fuel cap.

But, best of all, get a look at the heart of the beast and hear this mid-engined 6.5-liter V12 get started up. The motor's good for 0-62 mph in just 3.3 seconds but given this car's only done 2 miles, it's not going too far in this video.

We're off to buy some lotto tickets. But we suggest you just hit play and watch Million Dollar Lambo

For some faster-paced Lambo action, check out Sam Hubinette drifting the Gallardo around downtown L.A. in this awesome LP560-4 Promo

Lamborghini Reventon




Viewing the Lamborghini Reventon (revenTON) makes one marvel in the fact that the automobile, just a little over a century ago, was quite literally a horseless carriage. Today car designs are out of this world and the Reventon, although named after an earthly creature, a famous fighting bull, looks to be aerodynically capable of space flight. And why not, lines and angles were inspired by the F-22 Raptor.

Spotted: Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang



Brought to you by AMKaudifan007


The Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang is quite possibly one of the most exclusive cars in the world. With only 5 vehicles made, it doesn't come as any surprise that this one was spotted in the posh city of Dubai in the U.A.E.

Thanks to "AMKaudifan007" for the video.

SSC, the fastest car in the world, is Pushrod powered

View Video


Brought to you by StreetFire Podcast


The King is dead, long live the King. The United States has taken the crown from the Europeans with Pushrod power. 4 minutes and 50 seconds into this video, our own Chris Jones talks with SSC about the design of the Ultimate Aero motor and what it takes to unseat the Veyron as the fastest car in the world at nearly 260mph. And how does the SSC compare to the Veyron in a heads up race? 7 car lengths ahead at 180mph with both cars still accelerating.

Lamborghini Reventon, an overpriced LP640 with a bodykit?


Thanks to SLICK for the great video.

Well we've all heard about the all new Lamborghini Reventon, the Bull's new muscle. We've all seen it in pictures but here it is on the road.

I actually had the opportunity to speak with Stephan Winkelman, the CEO for Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A at the LA Auto Show a few weeks ago. The pictures really don't do this car justice. It definitely is amazing, but is it really worth $1.4 million dollars for a bodykit and a few extra ponies?

Is this simply a way for the Italian car maker to show off what they can do because I really don't see the financial gains for them by only a handful of cars.

With only 20 vehicles scheduled for production and 11 of those coming to the USA, the odds of seeing one on the road are very unlikely so make sure you check out the Reventon Video.

Tell us what you think in the Reventon Discussion.
