It’s not exactly to the awesomeness level of the skiing Lamborghini Gallardo but the first official video of the Volkswagen Polo GTI looks to be having its own fun running around in the snow.

The video shows a lot of action sequences of the Polo GTI frolicking in the snow and the smallest GTI from Volkswagen seems to be having a pretty good time doing so. Powered by a relatively light 1.4-liter twin-charged petrol engine, the Polo GTI produces as much as 180 horsepower and 250Nm of torque. It’s got a top speed of 142 mph and can clock a 0-100kmh time of just under seven seconds (6.9 seconds).

Most all the pic’s I got at the Dallas car show this year. Enjoy!!

We know Lamborghinis are fast. We also know that some people, no matter how awesome their ride is, still can’t get enough of what they have and so they continue to tinker with their cars to give it even more bite that what it already has.

While we’re not completely sure what kind of modification the owner of this Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 did to his car, but we do know that Lamborghini don’t shoot flames out f their exhaust pipes, which this Gallardo did a number of times as it was roaring along the highway.

The flames aren’t all that big and you’re going to have to pay extra attention to even see them but trust us, you’ll notice them eventually. And while that is far from a normal occurrence from just about every other car you’ll ever find, the Gallardo’s ear-splitting power is about as real as it can get so if for nothing else, you’ll definitely enjoy listening to that supercar stretch its legs.

Despite the rumors of the Italian super car maker Lamborghini making a SuperVeloce Gallardo, the raging bull is going to bring a factory tuned version of their more compact dream machine to market, but it won’t be wearing an SV logo. Instead the new car will focus on reducing weight as a means of going faster and will be appropriately named the LP570-4 Superleggera when the car makes its official debut in march at the Geneva Motor Show. We won’t come across any official images until a little closer to the reaveal, but thanks to the creative mind of JonSibal we can show you this rendering of what the upcoming Superleggera should look like.

The new Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera will weigh in at around 140 pounds less then the standard version while packing an extra 10 HP as well. The new figures will leave the LP with a much more favorable power to weight ratio and is expected to be capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 MPH in only 3.5 seconds. Thanks to Mr. Sibal and TeamSpeed we can also preview a few more of the colorful shades like Orange, Lime green and Yellow while we await a glimpse at the real thing. However we do know that because it is a Lamborghini, owners will be able to color match their leather interior to the car’s wild paint choices.

The next time you find yourself driving a car in South Korea, you might want to think twice about breaking any speed limits unless you want these guys on your tail.

Needless to say, the South Korean patrol cars are not your everyday Kia Rios or Hyundai Getzs. By our tally, that’s a Ferrari 360, a Porsche 911, and a Lamborghini Gallardo all serving as patrol cars for South Korea’s police department.

If you’re picturing a car chase, you’re probably thinking that the scenario would be the other way around. Supercar gets jacked and standard patrol cars give chase. Well, in Korea, the shoe is in the proverbial other foot and trying to engage these cars in a good old police chase is as dumb an idea as drinking milk on Fat Tuesday.

This is a quick video on a 2010 audi engine at the Auto Show.

If there’s one thing that being a car enthusiast has taught us, it’s that we should expect just about anything, even if that ‘something’ is as unlikely as Brittney Spears deciding to become a nun.

That being said, we rarely put a Ford Mustang and a Lamborghini Gallardo in the same sentence. It’s not that one doesn’t deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as the other, it’s just that they belong on two entirely different car segments, rendering any sort of comparison as moot.

While comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges, a man by the name of John Haugh from Cleveland, Ohio, decided that instead of racking his brains to figure out which is better, he just took both cars and made it into one.

At first glance, Haugh’s creation seems to have minimal to no trace of the Gallardo but according to Haugh, the Gallardo’s contribution to his creation lies underneath the hood in the form of the 5.0-liter V10 engine that produces up to 520 hp. In addition to that, Haugh’s “Tractorri” – that’s what he calls his brainchild – also comes with the Gallardo’s E-gear sequential automatic transmission and its all-wheel drive system. As far as the Mustang is concerned, well, isn’t it any more obvious.

In the event that you fancy yourself driving this car, Haugh has listed it up on Jameslist at a price that is available upon request.
