Seeing that it’s midweek, I was in need of something exciting to watch to get my morning going. After a few minutes of surfing some of my favorite automotive blogs, I fell upon these incredible video test drives over at our friends GTSpirit.com.

Those lucky boys shared their test drive experiences about two wonderful cars, the MTM Audi R8 R and the MTM Audi RS6 both tuned by the wicked MTM (Motoren Technik Mayer). Don’t forget to checkout the MTM Scirocco R which Anthony saw at the 2008 Essen Motorshow!

Coming across this tuned Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG (The Vath V58K) was quite a pleasure considering it is was built by a company called VATH. I had no idea that this company even existed, but I am DAMN happy that I now have them on my radar. Many apologies to VATH for my lack of knowledge about their tuning house, however I would like to make it very clear that I LOVE their work! The body Kit on this car is clean and stealthy, not even close to being over done, a semi perfect medium between too much and this equates this as badass!!!

Don’t forget to take a peek at some of the cars from last years 2008 Toronto AutoShow Pictures which included the Lamborghini Theatre.

While at Lamborghini Palm Beach during Supercar Weekend 2009 I had a chance to take some photos of Alex Papas’ (owner of South Florida Toys) one of a kind custom built 2008 Lamborghini custom pro street Motorcycle.

There are decals and then there are FULL VINYL CAR WRAPS… I found a “Dracula” themed full wrap on this Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 and it is just so OUTRAGEOUS you cant help but stare… Maybe its not to everyone’s taste… but a LAMBO is OUTRAGEOUS and vinyl wrap is definitely not a permanent decal. I would definitely like to HALLOWEEN out my ride like this one day to just get people to GAWK in AWE and cause a scene (Like Terrorizing Beverly Hills in a Carrera GT)!!! Seen a HULK or CAPTAIN AMERICA version of this would be nothing but WICKED!! Ether way, its cool, crazy and quite the concept i find.

I had the chance to chat with John Temerian, co-founder of Supercar Weekend. Temerian, a successful restaurant and nightclub promoter is well-known as a supercar afficionado. In 2005, Temerian and business partner Scott Levinsohn started Supercar Weekend as a private VIP exotic car event. It was first held at the $125 million Gosman Estate, that had just been extensively renovated by Donald Trump.

Well just when we thought the entertaining Bow Wow vs Soulja Boy Lamborghini Show couldn’t get any more ridiculous, we find this video of 19 year old singer/rapper Sean Kingston (Kisean Anderson) who has challenged BOW WOW to race for pink slips! Sean has a murdered out Lamborghini Gallardo which could possibly be sporting a Twin Turbo package by the sounds of his run at the end.

UPDATE: February 6 @ 10pm (EST), It seems that BOW WOW’s videos have JUST been taken down by whoever posted them on YouTube! Don’t worry I have already found others who ripped them so they have been replaced on my original post mentioned above

For the record kids, its not pronounced Gui-lardo, or Ga-largo (Soulja Boy) its proper pronunciation is Guy-arr-doh. Capisce?

After countless hours of surfing the net this week, we came across this entertaining 3 part video challenge between two young American rappers.

It all starts off in the first video (Video 1 Below) where 18 year old rapper Soulja Boy (Deandre Ramone Way) is showing off his brand new white Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (100% stock). At the end of the video Soulja Boy calls out 21 year old Bow Wow (Shad Gregory Moss) to race his Lamborghini Murcielago for pink slips.

Bow Wow then answers back in video (Video 2 Below) by showing up in his orange Murcielago slammed on Asanti wheels rocking a full sound system and trashes Soulja Boy not only for his pronunciation but for bragging about his Gallardo, calling it a poor man’s Lambo!

Finally Soulja Boy answers back (Video 3 Below) calling out Bow Wow and claiming he is full of shit because he is rolling in a rented Lamborghini. He claims to have ‘figured out’ (very wrongly) that Bow Wow’s Lambo is rented.

UPDATE Feb 6 @ 4pm (EST): Just found another response (Video 4 Below) where BOW WOW starts trash talking Soulja Boy (who he now refers to as RAMONE as a dis) about how he can’t even come to the race unless he’s got a Murcielago. He also shows his ownership slip and then explains how he is a ‘Corporate Ni%%er’ and flashes his BLACK AMEX CARD. He goes on to say that he talked to the CEO of Lamborghini and is in talks with the Speedchannel to sponsor the race.

UPDATE Feb 6 @ 8pm (EST): Sean Kingston vs Bow Wow Lamborghini Race Video

UPDATE Feb 6 @ 10pm (EST): Just noticed that the original users who posted BOW WOW’s videos have since taken them off of YouTube! I just added them from other users who luckily ripped them from the originals!

UPDATE Feb 7 @ 8am (EST): Again the videos that I had replaced have been taken down, sourced more, but I now can’t find the Soulja Boy Part 3 Video where he accuses BOW WOW of having a rented Lamborghini and shows a website who also has their information completely wrong about BOW WOW’s Murcielago. Sourced new videos. This is becoming a major pain in my a$$ so I am going to DL the vids myself for safekeeping and re-posting

Do you think these 2 guys are being immature, or is this some clever viral-type PR work? Comment below.

In the world of Pagani Zonda, the only thing more hardcore than a private gathering of 14 Pagani Zonda’s at Horatio Pagani’s Estate (see Vanishing Point Pagani Rally 2008 Pictures) or even a Pink Pagani Zonda is this Pagani Zonda R and these first official pictures!

Sorry it took me so long to get this post out, but I can’t stop looking at these pictures of all the details from it’s spaceship like features found just about everywhere on the car.. most notably the in your face Gatling gun type exhaust pipes and the “even more awesome than F1″ steering wheel!
