AutoHangar appointed Lamborghini Dealer in Mumbai!

Before 2011 rolls over to 2012, Mumbai will give some space for the raging bulls from Italy to be showed off. That’s right, AutoHangar is the latest Lambo dealer for India and will set shop in late 2011 in Worli or some other location in south Bombay. While Exclusive Motors have been dealing with Lamborghini imports for India and have been handing the Delhi sales and service, AutoHangar will handle the sales and service at Mumbai.

If you’ve got a strange feeling of having heard the AutoHangar name before, you very well could have as AutoHangar has been Mumbai’s Mercedes Benz dealer for quite some time now. It looks like a trend of sorts this, with luxury car dealers now getting into supercars. Logical progression it may be as just yesterday, Infinity Motors, which runs BMW dealerships in Mumbai and Nagpur has just been appointed the official distributor for Aston Martin in India.

Meanwhile, Lamborghini has earmarked 8-10 units of it’s latest range topping supercar, the Aventador, specially for India and already there seems to be a scramble for these 4 Crore rupee supercars as AutoCarIndia reports. As we’ve said time and again, it appears that there is a huge pent up demand for luxury cars in India, which show no signs of slackening and the above phenomenon seems just like the tip of the iceberg.

Lamborghini LP670-4 SuperVeloce Gets a Makeover

Supercars are good looking as standard, just the way they are when they leave the factory doors. For some of us however, that doesn't seem to be enough. The side effect of dullness may be this Chrome Purple Lamborghini LP670-4 SuperVeloce.


Perhaps not all Lamborghini owners chose to upgrade their car’s performance. The 670 horsepower that the V12 engine produces, accompanied by all-wheel drive and performance stats that are just mind-blowing, such as 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration in just 3.1 seconds and 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) in just 10 seconds time, may not represent aspects to take into consideration for some Lamborghini clients that are eager to spend some funds updating the Italian sportscar, but looks certainly sell. The car was produced in just 350 units, so it's very hard to grab one and modify it to personal aesthetic needs.

Supercars, since their existence on this Planet, were created to push boundaries forward and test the maximum capabilities of engineering. This Lamborghini however proves to push design limits and acceptance to a whole new level. As far as the bodywork is concerned, some serious changes were operated, starting with the paint scheme that is matte purple for one side to the other.

Other visual details that are extra from the standard version are the wheels, which now are ADV.1 Deep Concave ADv05 rims. The LP670-4 Chrome Purple SuperVeloce may become a trendsetter with this colored chrome foil wraps colour.

Chrome, gold, silver and big rims we’ve seen before, but a purple paint scheme is something rare and eccentric. This Lamborghini may easily be regarded as the pioneer of colored chrome foil supercars.

Car Crash Video: Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardo

The Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardos are known to us all. The twin-turbocharged race monsters produce more than 1,000hp easily.

Last weekend, during the Caffeine and Octane event in Georgia, USA, a black spyder version of the UR Gallardo was crashed after loosing control. In the video below you can see that the crash has nothing to do with speed or whatsoever. People who know the owner state that it was simply bad luck.

Before some smart comments come up like, “needs to learn to drive.” He has owned this sports car for over a year, and his other cars include a rebuilt TT Z06 making 1200whp+.
