Watch this Guy Find a Treasure Trove of Wildly Modified Lamborghinis

Many people claim that Lamborghini design cars like a five-year-olds would. These people are wrong. If five-year-olds were to design cars, they’d probably look more like these bosozoku-style cars  that YouTuber effspot found in a parking garage in Tokyo.

Bosozoku is a style that started in Japanese gangs but has bled out into the wider world of Japanese car culture. Basically cars and bikes are modified to look as wild as possible (there’s a whole fascinating history of influences and styles that you can find out about here).

Naturally, if you want your car to get as much attention as possible, you’re going to start out with a Lamborghini. But you can’t stop there. The cars featured in the above video run the gamut from the fairly familiar flat-black-and-lowered to the seldom seen rhinestone and leopard print variety.

Seriously, the cars are worth looking at just because of how different they are from what we see here. Some may find these offensive, but Lamborghinis have a rich history of personalization, and to my eye, these cars fit right into that. At any rate, surely no one buys a Lamborghini because they want to blend in.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...
