599 GTB Fiorano Caught Fire, Not a Fun Call to the Boss

Martin, 43, was asked to take Romans International’s 599 GTB Fiorano to the shop. On the way there while pulling up to a stop light the car “made a noise” and then poof! up in flames. The blaze was quickly brought under control and extinguished by the local fire department. But it wasn’t over for Martin, he still had to make a phone call to Paul, the owner of the car.

“He rang me and said, ‘Your car’s just gone up in flames’. At first I hoped he was joking, but I soon realised he was serious. I asked him why it had happened and he said he had no idea. Martin’s worked here since he was 15 and he’s a great guy. It’s obviously not his fault – so I’m not going to hold it against him.”

Batmobile on Top Gear Set - The Stig Climbing In

Looks like the batman made a stop to see the folks over at the BBC’s Top Gear. While he was there he was even kind enough to let The Stig take it out for a spin. Might we see the coveted batmobile put down its fastest time around the top gear track? One can only hope.

This just added-

I was contacted by the owner of the photographs who went  through  the story behind it:

As you can tell it was taken when Batman Begins was due out. I worked on the Top Gear programme website at the time and was taking as many photos as possible for the site. When I took this one, we got the third degree from the WB representative, who told us we couldn’t use an image of someone getting into the car via the roof.

Their argument was that it spoiled the illusion of the Batmobile.

I laughed at the time, and as per their request never used it on the site, but put it straight on my Flickr account because I liked the image.

An interview with Lamborghini - The Reventon, in 4 Months

Forbes had a chance to sit down with Lamborghini’s Director of Brand and Design, Manfred Fitzgerald about their million dollar supercar.  Very interesting, he speaks on the whole drafting process of the Reventon took only four months. (I am sure there are some out there that will claim they should have taken longer…)  None the less it is very interesting to get a little inside peak at what went into the super rare Reventon. At the end he also slips in that we can anticipate seeing something new from Lamborghini very soon.
