Lamborghini Murcielago 4×4 ATV

mini lamborghini 4x4

Liberty Walk & LB Performance not only had one of the sickest display booths with their 4 modified Lamborghini’s with air suspensions at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009, they also had these mini Lamborghini Murcielago 4×4 ATV’s! While there is no practical way you’d be able to rip around the bush hunting with the low profile tires and awesome forged alloys on them, they sure would make fun auto transport toys for any baller with a mansion! I wonder how long until we see these in rap videos?

SLEDGEHAMMER 1000 hp Porsche Conversion

sledgehammer porsche 997 911 turbo

I used to love going 0-60mph on my CBR 600 F4i street bike in well under 3 seconds so I can’t even imagine what it would be like to do it strapped into a Porsche 911 997 Turbo! The SLEDGEHAMMER 911 997 Turbo has 850rwhp (rear wheel horsepower) and 727rwtq (rear wheel torque) which delivers consistent 0-60 times in the mid 2′s, less than 5 seconds to go from 60-130 mph, and 9.8-second quarter mile elapsed times with trap speeds regularly in excess of 145 mph!!

Tokyo Auto Salon 2009

UPDATE: Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 Pictures

tokyo auto salon 2009

Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 starts Friday Jan 9th and goes until Sunday Jan 11th at the Makuhari Messe which is a convention centre in Japan located in the western region of Chiba Prefecture which is very close to Tokyo, Japan. I am sure I will see the highly anticipate Nissan GT-R SpecV.

The coolest part about the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 is that I will be in attendance! YEAAAAAA That’s exactly what I am saying! Pretty cool, I completely agree! The last 2 car shows I attended were: 2008 Essen Motor Show in Germany and the 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
