Shameful: The Ugly Lamborghini Alar

Joan Ferci’s disgustingly wrong, rebodied Lamborghini Diablo dubbed the Alar (aka ugly duck) has finally been revealed in Buenos Aires. It is a complete shame that he had to go and waste a Diablo not to mention disgrace Lamborghini by taking on this project that will no doubt get enough negative press. (yes shame on me)

I dont have a problem with art or prototypes or even wild and ludicrous ‘outside the box thinking’, but this is just disgusting. My biggest dislike about this car is its nose, mainly the lower skirt that kinda loops up from the ground in the middle. Its gross and this gentlemen should never be allowed to own, buy, sit in or touch another Lamborghini ever again.

If your friend, neighbor or boss rolls up with one of these $750,000 ‘waste of a Diablo’ just point and laugh at the poor looser. After your done ROFL, pick up your phone and call your nearest psychiatric ward to have them come claim their newest patient.

Video: Actor Eddie Griffin Crashes Enzo!

Watch this video as actor Eddie Griffin crashes a beautiful red Enzo Ferrari into a safety wall (with someone right behind it) during a rehearsal for a charity racing event. What a shameful way to wreck such a beautiful car. It’s also pretty interesting (sadistically) to see how those safety walls completely re-direct (kinetic motion) during a head on crash.

Yet another Enzo Ferrari bites the dust… this could even be Daniel Sadek’s own car from the upcoming movie Redline.
