Backyard Lambo Of The Day: The Lam-Bro-Ghini [Bacykard Lambo Of The Day]

The Lam-Bro-Ghini, which appears to have once been an FC RX-7, is a true exotic. And when we say exotic, what we really mean is a car with a severe case of the exotic disease Leishmaniasis.

An avid Ferrari Chat reader spotted this Lam-Bro-Ghini sitting in an alley in Santa Rosa, CA. The A-pillars have been cut and laid back to give it an ultra-aerodynamic profile to match the new sheet-metal roof. Surely, the polished, glare-inducing sheet metal roof is there to disguise this rocket from flying pigs and potential speed cameras. We’d also guess it’s there to act as a heat conductor since the owner likely removed the heater system in the search for lightness. The monster-motor sitting underneath the hood is cooled by any number of heat extractors; necessary when traveling at the break-neck speeds this Lam-Bro-Ghini is surely capable of.

Since this beast generates so much heat in its quest for top speed supremacy, the rear has been sliced and diced for both heat extraction and aerodynamic aid. Stopping power for the Lam-Bro-Ghini is provided by a sporty set of 10-inch rotors with 4-piston calipers and a permanent airbrake that helps bring this red missile back to boulevard cruising speeds.

We’ve seen some quality Fauxborghinis and Fauxrraris in our day and this Lam-Bro-Ghini is right up there with them. It almost made us believers. Almost. Hat Tip To Kenny!

"Ultimate" Nürburgring T-Shirt Forgets Hottest Part [Novelties]

Nordschleife.us has just released their idea of the best Nürburgring Nordschleife loop shirt ever envisioned by man. We're wondering what Sabine Schmitz, celebrity Nürburgringer, has to say about that.

Nordschleife.us has just released a new t-shirt featuring the phrase, "20832 Meters That Separate The Men From The Boys!"

If you're an avid Jalopnik reader, you're probably too familiar with Sabine Schmitz, BMW's factory Ring-taxi driver. Schmitz is best known stateside for flinging a Diesel Jag and a Ford Transit van 'round the 'ring on Top Gear and for being very much not a dude. Given she could probably spank most of "The Men" in her full-weight M5 with only one hand.

But barring that aside, "The Green Hell" definitely acts as a sieve, filtering out the poseurs from the pros. Namely, the infamous circuit forces the poseurs to eat Armco with the quickness. So although we salute the sentiment, perhaps the boys at Nordschleife.us could hit the drawing board again. But, if you're so inclined, you can purchase this shirt here.
