Lamborghini Aventador by ASMA Design

German tuner ASMA Design rarely makes the headlines, but when it does, they make some serious waves, for better or worse.

Their latest offering to the tuning gods - a program for the Lamborghini Aventador - is another eyebrow-raiser, and if we do say so ourselves, we actually dig it!

Now, the program is far from finished as ASMA has only released a single teaser image of the car. But between the generous doses of carbon fiber on the aero kit and the rather intense-looking wheels, not to mention the huge rear wing, we’re actually looking forward to seeing the finished program for the Aventador.

Now it doesn’t mean that we’re all in on it because we’ve yet to see the front end, but judging from the teaser image they showed - and the subsequent promise of a performance upgrade - we’re crossing our fingers that the German tuner has a winner on their hands with their new Aventador program.

Bentley confirms luxury SUV; Lamborghini SUV will most likely follow

Not that we needed one at this point, but Bentley has finally "confirmed" their future SUV, said to be "the world’s most luxurious 4x4." Their future model will follow the Mulsanne and Continental cycles, debuting sometime in 2014 with a powerful 12-cylinder engine. This announcement comes after the impressive results posted by the company in 2011: sales were up 37% to 7003 for the calendar year with sales accelerating as the year progressed.

"If we bring this (SUV) to the market it will be positioned significantly above the vehicles that are currently available in this segment," Bentley brand chief Wolfgang Durheimer said Tuesday. This means that the new Bentley SUV will be placed above any other SUV on the market and will be priced at more than $140,000.

This confirmation will undoubtedly force Lamborghini to make a final decision on their third model, which will more than likely be an SUV since the strong demand for sporty soft-roaders coming from emerging markets such as China, Russia and India has risen. That being said, Lamborghini’s final decision will be announced in March at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
