Bull Sliding

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
Now, as a car reviewer, there comes time that while reviewing a fast car, you'll want to fling it around a parking lot or race track to test its stability, ride, speed, or just have fun. I can totally relate. For example, I drove the new Jaguar XF not too long ago and decided to have a highway race against an old 911 Turbo, and that went well (hehehe). The Top Gear blokes have done numerous stunts with the cars they review. For example, James May (or Tiff Needell if you were watching) did a full-on lap against the BMW S1000RR in the Ariel Atom 500 V8, the current king of the Top Gear Test Track. Clarkson raced from one end of England to another in the Jaguar XJL SuperSport in order to beat "God", so to speak. Hammond had the streets of Abu Dhabi to himself so he could race the STIG's McLaren F1 in a Bugatti Veyron. And now, it seems that Autocar will join this list as Steve Sutcliffe flings Lamborghini's latest bull, the Aventador, all around England in his latest review. Look and listen to his review below to see and hear what he did.

Big Bull, Small Room

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
The Lamborghini Aventador has proven to be the most exciting thing ever to come out this year. Everyone wanted the car so much, it's currently sold out til next year. From my perspective, this is a fantastic car: aggressive design, big engine, and awesome presence. As you know, Lamborghini tends to hand-build all of their cars, but what about doing it in a small room? Recently, the company decided to put the car in their museum exhibition called "La Forza del Toro" (The force of the bull) in the Italian museum Chiostro del. Unfortunately, the car was too big to move inside. So, instead of knocking down walls to fit the car in, they moved in pieces of the car from scrap and built it their inside the museum. The result, astonishingly, was a fully functional and beautifully put Aventador sitting majestically at its exhibition. You don't believe me? Check out the video below to see how Lamborghini did it.

The Best of Italy...Sold OUT!!

2012 Ferrari FF
Looks like you're gonna have to wait a while in order to get one of these. Two of Italy's biggest motoring bombshells have been loved by the entire world that they are now sold out until further notice. First, there's the Ferrari FF, Ferrari's first all-wheel drive sports car. They managed to make this a hatchback with a 651 horsepower V12 engine, all-wheel drive, and a very pretty face. Well, if you've wanted this one, you'll have to wait for it. And he's not the only one.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
Yep! I am sorry to report that Lamborghini's all new Aventador is also sold out as well! Well, what did you expect? It's the raging bull the whole world was waiting for. Lamborghini's ultimate hyper-car has achieved worldwide fame through looks, power, and price. But, the best thing about these two supercars are they aren't limited like a Reventon or a Special Edition Range Rover. Ferrari and Lamborghini do plan on creating more in the near future. That should be good, right?
