Edo Competition’s previous Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-tune was a 710HP monster capable of reaching a top speed of 352 km/h or 219 mph, which apparently made it the fastest and most powerful Murcielago in the world. Now, the German tuner has gone one step further by introducing a 750HP variant that continues on to a maximum velocity of 365 km/h (227 mph).

The other performance figures are equally impressive, as the LP750 hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.7 seconds and 300 km/h (186 mph) in 24.5 seconds.

According to a recent report, Lamborghini is working on something special to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

Nothing is official, but speculation runs the gambit from a special edition to a whole new model. If the latter scenario pans out, we could see a production version of the Sesto Elemento concept. Of course, if it’s just a limited edition, we wouldn’t be surprised if the anniversary model was based on the soon to be revealed Lamborghini LP700-4 / Aventador.

For most people a $50,000 car is well out of reach, while others happily spend double or triple of that amount on a ride. However, even those enthusiasts might not be so keen to whip out their checkbooks when confronted with the price tag of these vehicles featured in a special list compiled by Forbes.

These are the most expensive cars in the world, usually bought by the kind of people who don’t even break a sweat amidst the worst economic crisis. Forbe’s list in not without its flaws as the publication added two vehicles (the Enzo’s successor and the upcoming Pagani Zonda C9) that have yet to be revealed, let alone be priced. Nevertheless, you can check out the complete list of exclusive toys for the real tycoons after the jump.

German tuning firm Hamann decided it was time to update its Victory performance and styling package for the Lamborghini Gallardo and adapt it to the newer version of the Italian supercar, the LP560-4. The Victory II adds a flamboyant paint job along with a wide body kit and the not-so necessary, but apparently welcome by buyers, power upgrades.

On the styling side, Hamann‘s designers developed a new body kit with front and rear fender extensions, matching side skirts, a roof scoop channelling air to the engine compartment, a front apron and a rear apron housing a new diffuser and exhaust tail pipes. There’s also an available rear wing made of fibre glass or carbon fiber, while the bonnet can also receive the carbon fiber treatment.

Anderson Germany’s latest creation, the Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition, is, well, white. What we’re trying to say is that the discrete exterior modifications implemented by the Düsseldorf-based tuner got lost in all that snowy paintjob. Otherwise, the 20-inch alloys with shiny black spokes do stand out and 600 ponies sound nice – just as long as you know how to control your hands and feet once you get behind the steering wheel.

According to the tuning firm, the exterior upgrades include tinted windows and tail-lights, carbon trim and a wide bodykit. The latter is comprised of a new front apron, lowered side skirts, diffuser and rear spoiler. There are also LED lights on the sides of the Gallardo and red brake calipers, which may have looked better in white.

The cabin is generously clad in -you guessed it- white carbon trim, while the seats boast a two-tone finish, achieved by combining black Alcantara with white leather.
