Go-Fast Porsche Cayman Driver Smacks Ferrari 360 at Supercar Gathering in Malaysia

A couple of mishaps involving private supercars marked this past weekend’s 2011 SuperGT race at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.

The first incident occurred on the tarmac during a parade of sports and super cars when an overly enthusiastic but sloppy driver of a winged Porsche Cayman rear-ended a Ferrari 360 as it slowed down in front of the crowd. The red Ferrari then bumped into a silver Ferrari California that was in front of it. You’ll have to jump 52 seconds into the first video to see the very expensive fender benders.

The second mishap took place outside the track as the supercars were leaving. It involved a kitted-out Lamborghini Murcielago and a BMW M5. An eyewitness told Jalopnik that he saw the Murcielago and an BMW M5 chasing each other before the crash. You can see what happened to the Lambo in the video after the break.

From Poland with Love: Arrinera Supercar Revealed in the Flesh [with Video]

It has been three years since we first told you about a new supercar venture from Poland (see here). Many had expressed doubts as to whether the newly formed company, then named Veno Automotive, could pull it off and create the country’s first supercar model. Fast forward to today, and the Polish company, which is now called Arrinera Automotive, presented the first real-life prototype of its yet to be named supercar model.

While to a lesser degree than what the original sketches from 2008 implied, the prototype Arrinera features an edgy styling and certain details like the shape of the headlamps and front air vents that are all very similar to Lamborghini’s Murcielago / Reventon series.

In the case of Jon Olsson, a Swedish skier with a knack for superfast and exotic vehicles, what lied ahead at a border crossing between Greece and Turkey during the Gumball 3000 was more like a riverbed than a road…

Despite the fact that Olsson’s Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (or SV for short) wasn’t exactly designed for these kind of road conditions, the Swede accepted the challenge and successfully passed the water crossing without any problems.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster: First Official Photos

Lamborghini has released official photographs of the limited edition Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster that we first got the chance to see through a set of leaked presentations sheets just before the Geneva Motor Show. To be produced in a limited run of just 50 units, the Roadster version of the Murcielago comes with permanent four-wheel drive and is powered by an uprated 6.5-litre V12 engine producing 650HP (+10HP) and 660 Nm (486.8 lbs) of torque - hence the model's LP 650-4 moniker.

The Italian firm claims that the special edition version of the Murcielago Roadster can sprint from 0 to 100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of around 330 Km/h (205mph).

On the outside, the Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster is finished in a Grigio Telesto paint that combines grey bodywork with special bright orange "Arancio LP 650-4" detailing on the front spoiler and sills. The car also features orange brake calipers and a transparent V12-engine cover.

Open up the characteristic Lambo doors and you'll find a theme that echoes the car's grey-and-orange exterior along with an asymmetric dash design, with black Alcantara Nera on the driver's side, including door panel and central tunnel, and black leather Nero Perseus on the passenger's side.

More details including pricing are expected to be announced at a later date.

Video: Pontiac Solstice-Based Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 Replica

A while ago we showed you a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster replica based on a Pontiac Solstice that was up for grabs on eBay. With the exception of the rear wing and the fact that in this case, the Solstice donor car is equipped with a manual gearbox, this faux Murcielago LP-640 Roadster that's up for sale on eBay with a starting price of (ahem) $63,244 is identical to the previous replica.

Then why bother with it, you may ask? Well, simply because this eBay seller chose to show off the car with a video starring 'Zak'. Hit the jump and you'll see what we mean.
