Each year Car & Driver holds a competition for the leading performance cars of the year at a race track. This year they took over 20 cars to Virginia International Raceway and thrashed them around.
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV was on hand and provided the magazine with a very strong showing. Despite losing out in best lap time to the Corvette ZR1, the car was not without praise from the writers.
Here is the write up from the test:

Over the past couple years the famous British automotive television program, Top Gear, has spun off two sister shows in Australia and Russia. The hope of many faithful American viewers has always been to have a US Version of the show. Last summer a pilot was recorded with three hosts – Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust, and Eric Strommer.
Unfortunately, NBC decided that the pilot was unwatchable and refused to continue funding the show. Who knows if anything will ever become of it but for now the show is certainly dead.
Many fans of the UK version of the show have been excited to see the pilot regardless of how terrible it might have been. Unfortunately it has not been released. A popular automotive blog web site, Jalopnik, has recently offered a $5,000 reward to anyone who provides them with a copy of the pilot. Hopefully if they post it, they will post it and we can be the judge rather than NBC’s whose judgment of late has been questionable.

On his way out, Conan O’Brien left us with a parting remark of automotive excess. None of us really thought that a $1.5 million+ Bugatti Veyron was a practical or easily justifiable purchase but it accomplished his goal of over-spending on his way out from NBC. Disapointed by his outing after just 7 months in the Tonight Show seat, he chose to recklessly spend money on NBC’s tab as quickly as possible. Dressing the world’s most expensive car up as a mouse and playing expensive music was his solution. Conan, you will be missed.

There have been many “exotic” car rental companies in Atlanta. Over the past decade at least six have come and gone. I researched all of them and spoke with their owners before starting Supercar Rentals and although I know we are not perfect, I like to think that I learned from their mistakes. Here are some tenants of our business that are different than any other rental company that has ever existed in Atlanta.
- We do not rent our cars that belong to anyone else
- We keep our overhead low to keep our prices low
- We maintain our cars to the highest standards possible
- We try to be honest in everything that we do
- We understand that each customer’s need are different and we work to be flexible enough to accommodate everyone
By doing all of these things and putting our customers first, we believe that we can provide a true ownership experience at the best price possible. This is why over 70% of our business is from repeat customers.

We all love it when we see an exotic car out in the wild. Well there are a few guys in Atlanta that have taken that thrill to the moon and back. They are colloquially referred to as the Exotic Spotters and they post their findings on one of the message boards that we mentioned a few weeks ago, called Ferrarichat.com. The thread is here:

As the economy has gotten all pear shaped lately lots of people have taken the opportunity to capitalize on the depressed pricing of luxury assets. The credit market to purchase these cars is almost non-existent at this point and ostentatious demonstrations of wealth are sometimes frowned upon. Factors like this have made cars worth significantly less than they were a year or two ago.

There has been a lot of speculation of late about Lamborghinis replacement for the Murcielago. The 350 LP670-4 SV’s are to be the last of the Murcielago model which debuted in 2002. The car has had an incredible run and is probably the purest representation of what a Supercar is today. It is outrageous, impractical, stunning, and brilliant to drive. Of course it also goes zero to sixty in 3.2-3.6 seconds and does over 210 miles per hour! Read More…
