IncrediBULL!!!!!

Lamborghini Veneno
Unbelieva-bull ... Lamborghini Veneno

 

LAMBORGHINI have announced the release of their brand new supercar — a £3million road-legal monster named after a BULL.

The Veneno has been designed to mark the Italian car firm’s 50th anniversary and they say its name comes from “one of the most legendary fighting bulls ever”. 

It can hit 220mph — and get from 0-60mph in under THREE seconds — but still holds a regular road licence.

Aerodynamic ... Lamborghini Veneno
 
A spokesman for the motoring giant said: “It is the fastest, most powerful road Lamborghini we’ve ever built.” 

Petrol-heads around the world are set for a big disappointment, however, as Lamborghini will only build three Venenos — and they have buyers lined up already. 

The two-seater car is powered by a massive 6.5 litre V-12 engine, which can generate up to 750 horse power — or the equivalent of SEVEN Ford Fiestas.

And it really does look like a supercar, with aerodynamics being paramount in its designer’s minds when they constructed it. 

It is made of a super-strong carbon fibre shell, has a seven-speed manual gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive. 

Each of the trio will also carry a colour from Italy’s national flag — red, white and green.

The Veneno was unveiled at the Geneva car show. 

Their spokesman said: “The Lamborghini Veneno brings the aerodynamic efficiency of a racing prototype to the road. 

“Every detail of its form pursues a clear function – exceptional dynamics, optimum downforce with minimal drag and perfect cooling of the high performance engine.

“The entire front end of the Lamborghini Veneno has been laid out for perfect airflow and downforce. The front end works as a large aerodynamic wing.” 

The three cars will be produced over the course of a year and delivered to their unnamed owners once complete.

The star who is known for his wacky accesories was snapped in a conservative white biker jacket and a stripey beanie hat with the suped-up motor for a spin in sunny in Los Angeles. 

He then struck a fly pose from the outlandish car but failed to crack a smile.

The blue beast was built from scratch for the rapper, 37, by Pimp My Ride car customisers West Coast Customs. 

The famous garage added bucket seats made for fast driving to Will’s wheels. 

The car fanatic added the tailor-made machine to his 190-strong collection after already shelling out £700,000 for a similar model in white. 

Will has even started his own car company, named IAMAUTO, in a bid to bring some jobs back to where he grew up in East Los Angeles, California.

Hogwarts school of matchsticks and wizardry

A Potter work ... matchstick creation

 
 
A MADCAP model maker has worked his magic on a giant version of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts - made from 602,000 matchsticks. 
 
Creator Pat Acton painstakingly pieced together the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry using more than 24 gallons of glue. 

His replica has every single bridge, window and tower seen in the Hollywood blockbuster series, which starred Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard.

It even includes the Great Hall, the Great Tower and Fortified Cathedral as seen on screen. 

The masterpiece now sits pride of place in his home museum alongside other giant matchstick models - including battleship USS Iowa, Capitol Hill and New York’s Freedom Tower.

Proud dad-of-three Pat - who worked from photos to build his own mini Hogwarts - said: “I have always loved architecture ever since I was in elementary school. 

“People react very differently to each model - some they are drawn to immediately, others they ignore.

“They are all a labour of love, taking years to plan and build.”
