The Wedding Crashers: Lamborghini Murcielago Smashes Into Ferrari F430 at South African Reception


In the well-known Hollywood comedy, divorce mediators and life-long friends John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) had a weird hobby of crashing weddings to meet single women.

But in this real-life South African parody, the two drivers of the Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Murcielago took the term "wedding crashers" a bit too literally as they somehow managed to crash into each other during a VIP wedding reception at a sports club in the town of Eshowe.

According to local news sites, the drivers of the two cars are Romeo Mbambo, said to be a former IFP hitman, and a man known only as ND Sibiya.

While the two men escaped injuries, witnesses at the scene claim that the drivers became aggravated when people started to take pictures of the cars, and allegedly assaulted one man, threatened a local journalist and seized mobile phones with cameras.

Apparently, they didn't succeed too well in hiding the incident from the press...

Lamborghini Gallardo-Based / Powered Ford Mustang is up for Sale!


Remember the custom made Ford Mustang with the Lamborghini Gallardo heart and mechanicals from the 2007 SEMA show? Well, this bizarre mishmash that has been baptized 'The Tractorri' (feel free to call it the Mustardo) has been listed for sale for an undisclosed price on Jameslist.

The Tractorri was built by one John Haugh from Cleveland, Ohio, who spent a whole lot of time and cash to marry the body of a 2007 Ford Mustang coupe to the mechanicals - including the 520HP 5.0-liter V10 engine that's mounted behind the front seats, E-gear sequential automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system- of a Gallardo.

The fabricator even went as far as to create a custom interior that mimics the design of the exotic Lamborghini supercar!

Seller's Description:

The crown jewel of our private collection: The Tractorri. The short version? This is a body-in-white '07 Mustang shell with the mechanicals from a Lamborghini Gallardo underneath. From the ABS to the AWD to the E-gear transmission everything works.

The long version adds two more Mustangs for parts, thousands of hours of labor and enough one-off parts to make most show cars blush. Oh, and our president drives it around--he put over 1500 miles on it this summer alone! Built and maintained by our own Rick Roush this is a werewolf in wolf's clothing! Check out the pictures for now and we'll have a full description of the build and show history up shortly!






Bespoke Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster in Matte Black [with Video]


You'd assume that a supercar like the Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster of which only 50 examples were ever built, is so special and rare that its owner would think more than twice before attempting even the slightest customization. Apparently that didn't apply to the Beverly Hills owner of the No2/50 Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster.

As soon as he took possession of the rare Italian supercar, the owner went ahead and transformed the Raging Bull model according to his taste.

All 50 Murcielago LP650-4 Roadsters were finished in a gray shade accented by orange styling touches, something that the owner didn't like. The supercar was stripped down to the metal and the complete interior was removed in order to apply a matte black paint job with gloss black highlights.

The roadster was also fitted with a set of custom made, 19-inch GFG three-piece forged alloy wheels with a glossy black outer lip, matte black center and orange highlights. The rims are shod in Pirelli P-Zero 245/30/19 front and 355/25/19 rear tires.

Other mods include a one-of-a-kind audio system with Focal Utopia KIT 7 component 3-way speakers that are powered by two Alpine PDX series amplifiers totaling over 1600 watts of power, and an Escort SRX radar detector with the main controller mounted on the center console.

The bespoke Lambo keeps the factory model's 6.5-liter V12 mid-mounted engine with 650HP intact.
