What's in our Car Town garage today?

2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo

At the final round of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo 2012 in Spain, Lamborghini unveiled their updated version of the race-spec Gallardo, which will be using in the 2013 season. While sharing its new design from the 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 as seen on the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the race-spec Super Trofeo comes with improved aerodynamics that produces 120% improvement in aerodynamic efficiency.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Revealed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and served as the replacement to the Murcielago, the Aventador LP700-4 marks the new chapter in the history of Lamborghini. Since its announcement, a full-year supply of Lamborghini's newest flagship V12 supercar has been sold out quickly, making it one of the most successful supercars Lamborghini has ever made. Powering the LP700-4 was Lamborghini's new 6.5L V12 engine, the first all-new V12 engine for five decades. It propels the car from zero to 60mph in 2.9 seconds and flatout in 217mph. Despite that cornering is now Lamborghini's number one priority, it seems they're not even bothered by acceleration.

1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Forgave this car for having a name that came from a famous cartoon character that goes "Beep beep!" but betcha didn't know that Chrysler paid thousands of dollars to Warner Bros. to use that intellectual rights to the Road Runner name and then use the B platform as its basis for this muscle car. Exclusive to the Road Runner was Chrysler's 383 CID (6.3 L) Roadrunner V8 rated at 335 bhp (250 kW) and 425 lb·ft (576 N·m) of torque, mated with either a four-speed manual with floor shifter or Chrysler's three-speed TorqueFlite automatic.
