Lamborghini Gallardo (1:18) - AUTOart

I didn't have any plan on adding this model until I saw one at a bargain price. I quickly grabbed it and there, it now sits on one of the shelves in my Lamborghini display . As usual, AA makes the best modern Lamborghini models in 1:18 scale. Like the newer release, Gallardo Superleggera, this standard Gallardo model is packed with accurate details and the paint job is flawless. The wheels, disc brakes and calipers are very realistic. The tires are labeled with "P Zero".Well crafted interior and engine are great features not to be missed.

It still is a great addition in my Lambo collection.

With its super light weight brother, the Gallardo Superleggera.

Lamborghini Murciélago - AUTOart

I decided to add this in my Lamborghini collection. Though I already have the verde ithaca (metallic lime green) Murciélago, I still wanted a color variant for this model. This by the way is a reissue from AUTOart, the metallic yellow color is also the siganture color of the Murciélago when it was first shown to the public during its official launch. This reissued model have a few improvements made from the original release in 2003. All four wheels have independent working suspensions. The front Lambo badge is also different. The doors have also been improved to previous Lambo models (2003-2006) from AUTOart with scissor doors. It doesn't wobble like the older models does. Here are a couple of pictures to enjoy.

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera - (AUTOart 1:18)

AUTOart had done a great job once again. Replicating the Gallardo Superleggera in 1:18 scale is "almost" perfect. The model is fantastic I should say. From the sharp body lines, detailed carbon fiber accents, perfect paint job, accurate wheels, carbon disc brakes and calipers, and interior. The only inaccuracy I noticed is the engine . The Superleggera's engine is slightly different from the standard Gallardo. But AUTOart used the same mold of the older AUTOart Gallardo. However, aside from that, everything else on the model is accurate.

By the way, this Superleggera model is far from its cheaper counterpart made by Maisto. So if you're having second thoughts on purchasing this one, think twice no more. Go ahead and do yourself a favor. :D

Lamborghini Reventón (Auto Art 1:18)

Finally, after a long wait, a proper 1:18 scale model of the Reventón is released. Made by Auto Art, this model is worth every penny. The model itself is very accurate in terms of scale proportions, detail accuracy and realistic features. It weighs heavier than the Auto Art Murcielago as the side air intakes or "wings" and rear engine bonnet are made of metal. Auto Art did really well on this model and puts the other 1:18 counterparts to shame such as the Bburago, Mondo Motors and the very expensive MR Reventón which is made of resin plastic, sealed (no opening parts) and cost five times the price of the Auto Art.


Front air intake grills are made of metal-mesh
The headlights are beautifully made with realistic projector-type lens.Carbon Fiber finish are seen everywhere in the interior. Noticeably, the instrumentation cluster, dashboard sides and center console.The carbon fiber weave grain of the wheel's fins are so fine, which makes the wheels look very realistic and very accurate. The carbon disc brakes are also visible and realistically made as well as the calipers.Carpet is nicely applied in the interior's flooring and firewall. The flooring on both sides are also provided with rubber mats. The steering wheel is flocked just like the real one and the A/C vent rings are chromed. I fabricated photo-etched door lock-latches to add more realism to this model.Ceiling center console control panel and sun visor details.The engine have better details than the previous Auto Art Murcielago. Wires have been provided where it should be seen. Metal mesh grill are also visble in the engine bay. Although I have modified my model's engine with the missing details and repainted the exhaust manifold to copper-gold. The engine cover is supported by gas hydraulic struts.

A very fascinating feature that AutoArt didn't miss was the rear plate lamps that are also surrounded by a metal-meshed grill.Front boot is supported with gas hydraulic struts. The front bay is also carpeted. The side air intake or the "wings" are movable too. They are spring loaded so it shuts down when they are released. The spring also keeps the "wings" closed even if the model is turned over. Inside the air intakes, metal-meshed grills are also installed.
Front 3-D badge or emblem is embossed. Very nicely crafted.The tail lights are accurate. The fans are very visible from the metal-meshed grill of the air outlet.
Another master piece, is this feature. The numbered badge on the center between the seat belt harness. "Reventón -00/20". The actual "00" car is the first Reventón to roll out of the Lamborghini factory and now remains in the factory museum.3 scales: 1:18 AUTOart, 1:43 HW Elite, 1:64 HW Dream Garage 2009

Lamborghini Espada (Auto Art)

As is the case with most of Lamborghini's cars the Espada's name is also tied in to bulls and bullfighting. It means "sword" in Spanish, the weapon of the matador.

Based on the Marzal show car, displayed at the 1967 Geneva Auto Show, and the Bertone Pirana, a radically rebodied Jaguar E-Type. It was to fill the spot of a true four seat car in Lamborghini's lineup, which already included the 400GT and Miura. 1217 cars were made, making it the most successful Lamborghini model at the time.

The car was designed byGiorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, shortly before he designed the Volkswagen Passat in 1971.

The Espada was originally fitted with a 4L 325bhp V12 engine, fully independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Most transmission were manual, and the Espada also introduced one of the first automatic transmission able to absorb the torque of a large sporting V-12. It had unusual gearing, with 3 ratios: drive, 1 and reverse.

During its 10 year production the car underwent some changes, and three different models were produced. These were the S1 (1968-1970), the S2 (1970-1972) and the S3 (1972-1978). Each model featured engine power improvements, but only minor details were changed with the exterior design. The interior was altered dramatically between each model. An all new dashboard and steering wheel was installed for the S2, and the interior was again revamped for the S3. In 1970, power assisted steering was offered as an option, and in 1974 an automatic transmission was also offered. In 1976 impact bumpers had to be installed to meet United States safety requirements, and some people consider cars produced with them to be the S4, but Lamborghini did not officially change the designation. Near the end of the Espada's life, Bertone designed a four door prototype, which was never put into production.

In 1999, a new version of the Espada was rumored to be in the works, but it was right at the time Lamborghini wanted to concentrate on a Diablo successor, so little became of the idea aside from a few drawings.

Additional details:

- repainted some engine parts
- installed insulation under the hood
- installed wirings and throttle lever
- installed oil dip stick
- installed copper tubings
- installed high tension wire clips

Lamborghini Murciélago (AUTOart)

The Lamborghini Murciélago is a high performance sports car produced by Italian automaker Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and designed by Luc Donckerwolke. It was introduced in 2001 as the successor to the Diablo. The Murciélago is a two-door, two-seat coupé. To celebrate the company's 40 years in operation, 50 special edition Murciélagos were built during the autumn of 2003. An open-top version called the Murciélago Roadster was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The roadster features similar performance to the coupé with a more aggressive rear flank, as well as a considerably higher price tag. The Murciélago sports a 6.2-litre version of the Lamborghini V12, 580bhp engine, a six-speed manual or six-speed sequential automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine. The 2008 car's fuel economy is 8 miles per US gallon (3.4 km/l/9.6 mpg-imp) city and 13 miles per US gallon (5.5 km/l/16 mpg-imp) freeway, making it the least efficient 2008 car for city and highway driving, according to the EPA. In 2006 the Murciélago's engine was replaced by a stronger 6.5-liter engine and the car's name was changed to Murciélago LP640. For the 2007 model year Lamborghini did the same with the roadster model, which is now called Murciélago LP640 Roadster. Both versions received a minor facelift. The name Murciélago (pronounced moor-cee-EH-la-goh in traditional Castilian Spanish and moor-see-EH-la-goh in Spanish of Latin America) means "bat" in Spanish. A bull by this name survived 24 sword strokes in an 1879 fight at the arena of Córdoba, and fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. In another Lamborghini tie-in, the bull was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, who was a noted breeder and whose bull ranch the Lamborghini Miura was named after, and went on to sire a line of famous fighting bulls.

Additional detail:

- installed high tension wires

- installed some hoses

- installed chrome belt holders for the injectors

- repianted some engine parts

- added door lock mechanisms
