This here is a masterpiece done by LB Performance, Interesting name right? LB Performance is tuning company based in Japan and this stunning looking 2004 Murcielago just happens to be one of their epic projects. The car actually doesn't have much performance gains but what LB performance had done instead is widen the car's stance aggressively, slapped on some iForged Equip V3 wheels, added the LB Performance body kit and finally, wrapped this V12 beast with brushed aluminum vinyl wrap. Result =Insane looking car.
Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Buy A Motorcycle
Been looking at motorcycles? Wondering whether or not you should get a motorcycle? Well, here's my top 5 reasons why YOU should buy a motorcycle, today.
Reason 1, riding a bike is one of the best feelings ever. It's a great way to relief day to day stress (work, school etc), providing mental clarity! It's also been said countless times that a motorcycle is the best psychiatrist that you can get, dollar for dollar. It truly is a life changing experience.
Reason 2, buying a bike is not just about buying a bike. buying a bike also buys you a pass to a social club or group. Having a bike means you are automatically accepted into a biker's niche/community. Simply google group rides or meets around your area, and you can just show up and ride,chat with a bunch of nice fellow bikers!
Reason 3, It's a great exercise for your whole body.If you have back pain, riding a bike can make it slowly disappear, sounds strange right? Your hand eye coordination improves as you ride too. You begin to feel like you can react faster, have greater agility and a sharper mind.
Reason 4, riding a bike is much more economical than driving a car. For example, a 125cc bike can be filled up with just under $10 of gas. That $10 gas allows you to ride 300km or more. What's the point of driving around with a big metal shell and 4 empty seats if you are just mostly commuting alone?
Reason 5, loads of fun! the thrill, the joy of riding a motorcycle can't be described with words, you've gotta check this one out yourself. So..get out there, rent a scooter or whatever and start riding!
Enzo Gemballa
Absolutely stunning looking car isn't it? This car is called the Ferrari Enzo Gemballa MIG-U1. Gemballa is a tuning company based in Germany, founded by the man, Uwe Gemballa. The company was established during the 1980's but for some strange reasons, the Gemballa factory was shut down by the German authorities, ultimately leading to the death of Uwe Gemballa. The company was then bought out by Andreas Schwarz who established it under a new name "Gemballa Gmbh",known for tuning Porsche's to extreme levels. As for this "Gembella Enzo", the price tag is beyond insane. It costs almost $4 million, that's twice as much as what a regular Enzo would cost you, BUT, There are 400 Enzo's in the world, there's only 1 Enzo Gemballa. The plan was to produce 25 of these but due to the death of Uwe Gemballa, so far only one Enzo Gemballa exists, quietly sitting somewhere in France.

The 6.2 Litre Beast
Another AMG beast looking good, This is the 2012 C63 to be exact. With a naturally aspirated 6.2 litre V8 engine tuned by AMG producing close to 500 hp, it's gotta be one of those cars that are loads of fun to drive. Oh and, the signature exhaust note of this beauty really is part of the fun as well! Push the gas pedal to the floor and you are greeted with the raw engine note this 6.2 litre V8 produces. The downshifting exhaust popping rumble noise is just as awesome. Love this car!
The Matt 458
We all know the Ferrari 458 Italia is already a stunning looking car. Who knew this metallic silver finish would make this car look so much more meaner and sexier? Almost feels like a sneak peak of what futuristic cars are going to look like. Definitely one of the best looking Ferrari 458 Italia, ever.
Subaru Impreza WRC
I love this Subaru Impreza WRC. I remember as a kid, all I ever wanted was anything that was related to this car. Posters, remote control cars, models. I thought this was the most beautiful car ever made, the signature Subaru blue with the signature gold rims. Seeing it kick up loads of dirt during WRC races on TV was one of my greatest hobby. Tripod, counter steering, it was just pure awesome. This is one of those pictures that truly captures the soul of the Subaru Impreza WRC. I love this picture and I'm sure there are many of you Subaru rally fans out there who would appreciate this picture as much as I do. Enjoy!
The Reventon
That is definitely a nice looking place, with a bunch of nice looking cars! You are probably saying to yourself "what's that matt grey-ish colored car called? " Answer is, The Lamborghini Reventon. The Reventon was one of the most expensive Lamborghini's ever produced, a limited production of 21 of them. At this point, you might be wondering how much would it be to purchase one of them? It costs quite a bit...1.5 million euro each. With that price, you get a car that looks and feels like a jet fighter and an insane top speed of 355.7 km/h Gotta love Lamborghini!
The Ferrari With KERS
The Ferrari, "LaFerrari". Possibly one of the most epic and one of the most innovative supercars ever made. This is the only road legal car that comes equipped with KERS. A system that's used in F1 race cars that provide short bursts of extra power. Only 499 units will be built, and every unit will cost well over 1 million euro! Here's a fun fact, LaFerrari is the first mild hybrid from Ferrari, producing the highest power out of any Ferrari while decreasing the fuel consumption by 40%. Don't let the word "hybrid" fool you, LaFerrari has a 6.3 litre V12 engine that outputs 789 bhp @ 9000 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque @ 6750 rpm. With the KERS system adding even more power, the total power of this beast is 923 bhp! Epic right?
Renault
Renault Alpine A110-50. This car was produced to celebrate Alpine Berlinette's 50th anniversary. This Alpine concept was made for racing. Cockpit is no different than a race, dashboard is no different than a race car, full harness seat belts are no different than a race car. Everything that a race car should have, the Alpine A110-50's got it. Engine wise, the Alpine uses the Renault V4Y 3.5 litre 400 hp V6 engine. Pretty cool eh?

Great Looking Porsche 993 GT2
The GT2 is the racing version of the Turbo. By the mid 1990s most of the sanctioning bodies of road racing had placed severe limitations if not outright bans on the use all-wheel drive systems, due in part to Audi's earlier success in campaigning their various 4WD sedans in touring car races around the globe, to Porsche's 959 and its racing version the Porsche 961, and in part to the Nissan Skyline. It was in this atmosphere that in order to take their turbo-engined 993 racing, Porsche created the RWD-only GT2. The deletion of the front drivetrain also brought with it the benefit of significant weight savings to the competition car. To qualify the car for racing a limited number of street GT2s were created for homologation purposes, which are now highly prized and valued by Porsche 993 collectors.
