Gallery: The Swiss Alps Taken Over by Lambos

Lamborghini has hosted its very own Concours d’Elegance.

Held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland this past weekend, the Lamborghini Concours d’Elegance gathered some of the rarest exotics ever created by the Italian automaker. One of the highlights of the show for many was seeing the Marzal in person, a concept car that first debuted at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. There were plenty of classic Miuras, Countachs, and Espadas joined by more obscure Lamborghini models like the Jarama, Jalpa, 350, 400GT, and the massive LM002. The company’s current models were also present of course, including the Veneno Roadster and a number of Aventadors.

The Italian automaker said the event was dedicated to Le Corbusier, a Swiss-French architect who is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture. The Lamborghini Concours d’Elegance was organized through the company’s Polo Storico and like other Concours events, there was an awards ceremony that included the selection for Best of Show, a green Miura SV owned by Japanese collector Ezio Tomita.

The event also crowned a “Best of the best,” which went to the one-off Marzal that has been recovered and perfectly restored. And the prize? A full-scale reproduction of the famous Modulor, the man of ideal proportions created by Le Corbusier as a reference for his building and furniture designs.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
