Last week a Polizia Lamborghini Gallardo smashed into the rear end of a mini van. There is no video of it actually happening, but thanks to YouReporter.it we get to see a slide show of the leftovers. Read more about this accident at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

OK, so it’s not like this is the first time that we’ve seen a Gallardo putting down almost 1000 horsepower at the wheels. But are you really supposed to get tired of that? I don’t think so. At all. Listen as they make her scream on the dyno! Oh, and how awesome is the license plate?

The sultan of Italian exotics, a 1,500 horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo takes no prisoners. Fed by twin turbos and massive amounts of modifications, this is one killer exotic with power to burn. Read more about the 1,500 horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

I guess this shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, but the 1987 Lamborghini Countach handily beat the 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi in this week’s eBay Motors Showdown. I really admire the Countach, but for a car to own and drive, I would definitely go with the Boxer, which is one of my favorite Ferraris of all time. Stay tuned for another match up next week, and if you have any suggestions for future eBay Motors Showdowns, please leave them in the comments below!

For this week’s eBay Motors Showdown, I present you with two cars that dominated magazine covers when I was a kid. This 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi looks to be a nice red/black example from the last year of production. And this 1987 Lamborghini Countach was a special order car for Mario Andretti. Which would you choose?

This Lamborghini Gallardo was sitting next to the Tap Out slammed Surburban at the Goin’ Hard Wheel booth, and while I find customized Exotic Cars quite nauseating, this one was actually quite tasteful. Continue reading after the jump!

I couldn’t find any information as to the actual sculpture this artwork is based on, but it is a depiction of the Madonna and the body of her son Jesus. If I remember anything about the original, it is sculpted in Italian marble, and housed in either the Vatican, or the Louvre. Anyway, this is a very well done piece of art.

The Detail of the Angels on each door is also very well done. It is truly an Italian Masterpiece decorated by other Italian works of art.

Hello, Vegas. Did you miss me? This joint is like some sort of cruel mistress for me and she likes it rough, if you know what I’m saying. It’s not even Day One and already I feel like a past-her-prime, ridden-hard-and-put-away-wet Glitter Gulch cocktail waitress who’s sucked down one too many Chesterfield’s in her time. In Blogville terms I’m eons late to this game having already been crushed by the likes of Boss Man Rob, John “10 Jameson’s Deep” Coyle, Jim (have yet to nickname him) Brennan and that smarmy little minx, Jen Dunnaway (I’m warning you, Dunnaway, Stay away from my Honda Booth!). This may be my first and only blog as the cocktail of cheap vodka, cold medicine, exhaustion and the smell of desperation may leave me face down in a steaming pile of a $3.99 all-you-can-eat buffet. Hit the jump to see some of what I saw as I try to get found in Lost Wages. Viva, SEMA!

This, my friends is the YoParts R35 GT-R. While that is an authentic Bob’s Big Boy. I have a love/hate thing going on with this car and in trying to get it “SEMA ready” this bitch almost killed me. As for the current and planned mods, Import Technology Group will be handling all of the performance work, and Ventross aero pieces, Forgeline wheels and Nitto rubber are just some of the other tasty bits for this R35. The car will be in display in our CarDomain SEMA booth (Central Hall, 24791) but the best part is that you can win this car! Check out YoParts.com/GTR for complete contest details.

The wildest part about SEMA – aside from the fact that this town makes you want to leave it all on the table – is that you can miss some of the best stuff if you’re not watching closely enough. Take this Stroppe Racing Big Oly Bronco in the Bilstein booth. At a very quick glance this looks like the ’68 Bronco in which Parnelli Jones blasted across Baja with, but noooo. It’s actually some sort of modern era tribute Trophy truck. This looks like one of those ironic porn star hipster kid moustaches except for the fact that this truck will crush said hipster kid. And then back up just to make sure there’s no life left in those skinny jeans.

At first glance this Gallardo in the Mobil One booth looks a bit played with it’s murdered out matte finish. It has a sort of Christian Audigier feel, somewhat douchey and definitely something that Coyle would rock if he could add a roof rack for his fixie. But much like Coyle, there is brooding, menacing beast underneath that trendy exterior.

Underground Racing tunes everything from Ford GTs to Vipers and this twin-turbo Gallardo is apparently capable of a 9.01-second quarter (on street tires!). From what I heard it also clicked off a 256 mph standing mile at the Texas Mile event a few weeks back. With a built motor UR can get some 1700 hp from one of these 10 cylinder mills. Just sitting on the show floor this engine was killing me softly.

Yowza, K&N’s old time attack G35 is alive and well. And speaking of live, I’ll be going live at SEMA today. Follow along as we try to bring the SEMA experience right to your monitor. Check out StreetFire.net/SEMAlive.

I written about Underground Racing’s insane creations before in this blog, but this was the first time I’d gotten to see any of its handy work in person. The twin-turbo Gallardo that was in the Mobile 1 booth is capable of 1700 horsepower, runs 9s on pump gas and street tires, and supposedly did 256MPH at the Texas Mile. Damn. It’s a shame this absolutely beautiful fabrication normally has to ride under the skin. More pics after the jump.

Kartier Forged has a ton of great ride pages on CarDomain with some amazing pics. Check ‘em out!

The Gallardo might not be the best drift car, but that didn’t stop Samuel Hubinette from getting it sideways, and at the end of the shoot for the Italian Stallion’s promo video, the Crazy Swede apparently wanted to “liberate” one for personal use. To be honest, I wasn’t all that pumped on the finished product—remember that thing about how a Lamborghini would get you girl’s phone numbers?—but watching all the killer camera cars and the logistics behind the production was pretty awesome. And it’s not like there’s a lack of sexy Italian eye-candy either…
