Let’s say you really want a Lamborghini but you can’t afford one; what do you do? Over here, you’d buy a Fiero, a fiberglass kit and a Sawzall. In China, you’d need to do a bit more improvising, as Chen Jenmiao has just shown the rest of the world.

Don’t you want to do the same thing in the desert with a Jeep? The basic formula for a Japanese haiku is simple: it’s composed of three lines, the first having five syllables, the second having seven and the third having five again. You don’t get many words, but if you choose them carefully they say a lot.

Filed under: Spy Photos , Coupe , Performance , Lamborghini It’s no secret that Lamborghini is working hard to get its Murcielago replacement, the Jota , out the door. We’ve already caught sight of heavily camouflaged prototypes in testing, and it appears that the highly anticipated supercar is on the move again, this time on public roads. When the Jota launches in 2011, it will have some relatively big shoes to fill, but Lamborghini is definitely prepared to do battle with the next generation of supercars

While The People’s Republic seems to have no problem generating genuine auto manufacturers, everyone’s favorite communist nation must suffer from a dearth of designers. It’s always hard to embrace a faux Bentley or half-hearted Hummer , but there’s something about this creation that we can get behind

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Audi Audi R8 GT - Click above for high-res image gallery Audi dropped a very pleasant surprise on us this afternoon with the long awaited announcement of the R8 GT . The Audi R8 V10 was already one of our favorite sports cars in the world (sans the R-Tronic transmission) so how could you make it better? In the immortal words of Colin Chapman, “add lightness.” But in a modern sports car required to meet rigorous safety standards you can only go so far short of a complete redesign.

Given the Murcie’s age and the planet’s ever-tightening emissions standards, it should come as no surprised that Lamborghini is hard at work on the Murcielago’s successor. And along with a new name, the Jota will pack more power, less weight and a range of high-tech appointments

Never fear! A company by the name of Tubi will be more than happy to provide you with a set of pipes that will not only give your winged stallion a proper bark, but also allow that 4.7-liter V12 to spit fire like the good lord intended. According to Tubi , the company is practically kissing cousins with Ferrari itself.
