Project Inspire, the Graffiti Lamborghini

Lamborghinis have a rich history of wild paint schemes and mods. Whether they’re being plated in gold or highlighted to look like something out of Tron, the cars are as much a canvas as they are a speed machine.

But no one (we think) has ever painted their Lamborghini with rattle cans of spray paint. No one, that is, until now.

Meet Project Inspire, a hand painted Lamborghini Huracan from Miami’s Rich B. Caliente that was inspired by a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet, and recently featured in Dub Magazine.


“The owner of the Huracan who is also an artist, Zevi (@zevigg), saw [the Stormtrooper helmet that I had painted] and asked if I could paint his entire Huracan with a blend of base colors,” Caliente tells Dub Magazine. “I asked him to give me a day to think about this project since it involved major amounts of time and effort.”

Eventually, though, Caliente, who makes his living painting unique cars, realized that this would be a great rolling showcase for his work.

In all, it took him about three days to complete, with the owner adding some finishing touches, painting his signature character on the car.

Vossen Forged VPS 301s (20” front, 21” rear) were also added to the design to finish the look, and they were painted in the same style as the car.

The result is a truly unique Huracan that has a bit of a raw, rat rod quality about it, that actually suits it.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
