2014 Duaiv Lamborghini Aventador Roadster Review

    Like I said earlier, I was in Miami for winter break, and when I was there, I visited Prestige Imports-Lamborghini Miami, a hyper-exotic car dealership specializing in Lamborhinis, Ferraris, and Paganis. During my visit, I was lucky enough to see their extremely unique "Duiav" edition Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, complete with a multicolor vinyl wrap on the exterior. It completely stood out from every other car there, which is quite a statement, considering that they had cars such as a Bugatti Veyron Pur Blanc, an Alfa Romeo 4C, a Brabus B63S, and a Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722S. When combined with the extraordinary 6.5 liter V12, it makes for an extremely special supercar, and makes it fit right in with its other "Duiav" sibling, the Ferrari FF.

The Supercar Legacy: Going Uphill or Downhill?

    By now, I'm pretty sure that everyone reading this is familiar with the term "supercar." This exotic type of car has been around since the mid-60s, and it all started with one great car: the Lamborghini Miura. It was Lamborghini's first road-going car, and it was the result of an argument between Enzo Ferrari (the owner of a sports-car manufacturer) and Ferrucio Lamborghini (the owner of a tractor company). This led to the birth of the Miura, a high-performance car with a 3.9 liter V12. Then came the Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona, the Porsche 911 2.7 S, the Lamborghini Countach, the Ferrari F40, and the Porsche 959. Then, a new breed of supercars came along, among the best (whatever, it was the best) McLaren F1. That car had a 6.1 liter V12 with 627 hp, 586 pound-feet of torque, and capable of reaching beyond 200 mph. After that came the Ferrari Enzo and the Bugatti Veyron, which, as you all know, are both astounding supercars that can achieve speeds well over 200mph. But now, there's a new breed of supercar, and it's more technologically advanced than ever. A lot of supercars these days are hybrids, such as the Porsche 918 and the McLaren P1. These added electric motors can have a massive effect on the car's power output, and can help efficiency. But, as you would expect, some brands have stuck with traditional setups, such as Lamborghini and Koenigsegg, which still have a lot of power, but are still less powerful and less efficient than hybrid competition. So it's your choice: do you want a more original and refined car; or do you want one with more power and higher mpg? I could never decide.

2014 Lamborghini Huracan Review

      New for 2014, the Huracan is Lamboghini's replacement for the aging Gallardo. The Huracan competes with cars like the Aston-Martin Vantage V12 S, the Ferrari 458 Italia, and the McLaren MP4-12C. The Huracan has a 610 horsepower, 5.2 liter V10 that does 0-60 in around 3.5 seconds and it has a base price of $195,000. It also has a top speed of 202 mph, which is insane. I think it is about time Lamborghini replaced the Gallardo (even though I still want one) because it was not up to par with its competitors. All in all, the Huracan was greatly anticipated and I think it is a worthy replacement for the Gallardo.
