This is One Seriously Sinister Lamborghini Racecar


Lamborghini and Reiter Engineering have been racing together in the GT3 series since 2000. In that time, the team has created some seriously sinister looking race cars. Add this new one to the list.
It’s called the Extenso and it’s based on the outgoing Gallardo. Unlike the Gallardo FL2 GT3 it is replacing, the new one is lighter, wider and (undoubtedly) faster.

The car gets a serious facelift from front to back. The aluminum side panels have been replaced with carbon fiber, the rear axle width is increased, and downforce is at an all time high thanks to a massive rear wing and front and rear splitters.The drivetrain also gets a racing reboot with new camshafts and Mahie pistons that reduce fuel consumption and increase reliability. Inside and out this thing just oozes race car.


Interested semi-pro racers can cop the new Gallardo Extenso for a whopping €248,000 ($310,000).

Lamborghini has nothing close to a racing heritage in its past. But that doesn't mean it's too late to start. The Super Trofeo series is that start. And it's an absolutely incredible one. Here's what it's like to drive one of the fastest sports cars in the world.




Lamborghini brands the series as the "fastest single make race series in the world," and that's fitting for the Lamborghini perception of being the most extreme TO THE MAX mode of transportation you can buy. Of course, they measure "fastest" in terms of top speed, not lap times.

Violence Against Women

WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE  " domestic violence is: "the inflicting of physical injury by one family or household member on another; also: a repeated or habitual pattern of such behavior". History of violence against women Some historians believe that the history of violence against women is tied to the history of women being viewed as property and a gender role assigned to be subservient to men and also other women.  "violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women, which have led to domination over and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full advancement of women, and that violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men.....
