This past month two automotive legends ceased production, their spirits rising into the Great Pantheon of Iconic Cars in the sky. Two vehicles that defined terminally opposite points of the spectrum, different in pricepoint, performance, utility, powertrain, spirit… well, just about everything. Even the reasons for ending their lifecycle could not be more different, but […]


Sure Lamborghini rocked the automotive world last year with its groundbreaking Aventador hypercar, but that doesn’t mean its forgotten its bread and butter. Lamborghini knows damn well its road is paved with the Gallardo, the best selling car in the vaunted Italian badge’s history (13,000 rolling out of its Sant’Agata Bolognese factory thus far and […]

LIAS unleashes Lamborghini's rear-wheeled beast

Lamborghini’s elder statesmen and test driver, Valentino Balboni, retired last year due to Italian bureaucratic red tape. Lambo wanted to honor him by building a signature model, the only problem was Balboni demanded that any car that bore his name must be rear-wheel drive only (as opposed to their now standard All Wheel Drive).

Lord Balboni, we greet you with great fear and joy

We at LIAS are super stoked to announce we’ll be picking up a Lamborghini Balboni — aka Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni edition — next week for an extended test drive. We greet this news with both obvious glee and yet great apprehension, as the limited edition Balboni has one qualitative difference from its […]

The Gallardo gets the SuperVeloce treatment

Last year Lambo announced the SuperVeloce version of its halo supercar, the Murciélago. Since, rumors have circulated of a SuperVeloce version of the Baby Lambo, the Gallardo. Well now some images have surfaced giving much heft to the possibility. You know Lambo’s not done with the Gallardo body style yet (how many years does it […]
