It all began in 2009 when Aston Martin unveiled the first generation of the V12 Vantage. The concept was pure brilliance: take Aston Martin's largest engine, fit it into their smallest car, and hope for the best. But what emerged was a true masterpiece. The V12 Vantage became highly coveted and immensely collectable. Fast forward to 2023, and they've repeated the feat with even more finesse. The new V12 Vantage unmistakably exudes sophistication. While retaining the iconic Vantage silhouette,
The Bat for The Batman Some Lamborghinis are famously named after famous Spanish Fighting Bulls, and this car was certainly named for one of the greats. Named “Murcielago” (Spanish for “Bat”), the first clean sheet design in over 11 years was worthy of being named after the legendary bull that survived a brutal fight in 1879 with such passion and spirit to captivate the audience and be given the honour of retiring and being a leading sire A huge leap-forward in design, ergonomics and performa
At CHROME TEMPLE we feel the the ingredients for collecting success need not be many. Complementing fire breathing high capacity engines and analogue driving characteristics should be strong provenance and true scarcity. With just 100 units produced globally (rarely will you find such a low production number across any marque) to celebrate 50 years of Lamborghini and the most successful model to date, this last of the line Gallardo was the culmination of the very best aspects of the Gallardo.
The Aventador is a car that needs very little (if any) introduction. As the replacement for the Murcielago, which had been a game changer for the brand, the Aventador had to be pretty special. Launched in 2011, the Aventador LP 700-4 was light years ahead of the car it replaced, yet still contained all the ingredients that immediately made it recognisable only as a Lamborghini. In other words, it was utterly mad. The initial version of the 6.5L V12 produced 515kW and was good enough for 0-100 i

The Mercedes-AMG CLK63 Black Series will go down as one of the wildest (and most desirable) factory race homologation series ever produced. Only 500 were constructed to meet the race-ready criteria, the majority of which were sent to the USA where they were unfortunately delivered with ‘comfort seats’ due to local legislation. Just 120 were produced in RHD with 32 numbered cars delivered to Australia. This stunning example is vehicle #8, and unlike the American counterparts, it has factory fitt
Sport. Leicht. Rennsport. There aren’t many cars the high side of the year 2000 that upon launch were instant icons. The three that stand out the most are the Ferrari Enzo, the Porsche Carrera GT, and the car we present here, the Mercedes-McLaren SLR. A joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive, the car was conceptualised as an homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300SLR of 1955. With the Formula 1 partnership between the two companies, there was a significant pooling of resources that
The Knight in V10 Armour After a decade of teetering on the brink of disappearing into the abyss with so many other iconic marques, Lamborghini under the ownership of VW knew they needed to pull something very special out of the hat. Enter the Gallardo. Named for the 18th century Spanish bullfighting breeder Francisco Gallardo (meaning Gallant), the Gallardo was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva motor show and from the second the covers were whipped off, it was a runaway success and put Lamborghini b
With a 1990s movie portfolio that would put Tom Hanks to shame, the Lamborghini Diablo became the ‘it’ car of the decade. Wherever it went it was admired and whoever was seen in it, well, they had made it. But there was one version of the Diablo that was a little more daring than the others, the rear-wheel-drive 5.7, V12 Diablo. First contemplated in 1985 as a successor to the Countach (another vehicle with a strong film presence) Project 132 had a one-line brief – the car must have a top speed
