Would You Let this Artist Hand-Paint Your Lamborghini?

Miami-based artist Alexander Mijares has hand-painted a Lamborghini Gallardo for Art Basel Miami 2013, an international art show for modern and contemporary works.

The Gallardo’s beautiful blue paint wasn’t compromised however, as the car was previously vinyl wrapped by Superior Auto Design. Mijares changed the look of the car using only a paintbrush and black paint – however, the result of his work isn’t as dramatic as BMW’s art cars. As most of Mijares’ works, the Gallardo features figures seemingly from puzzle pieces.

The entire painting process is documented by the following video, so make sure you watch it if you’re considering something similar for your car or you simply want to learn how to paint an automobile.

Watch the Wild Lamborghini Huracan Do Donuts in Official Video

We can now confirm that Lamborghini’s Hexagon Project teaser videos were about the all-new Huracán (as if you didn't know…) as the fourth video of the series features the Gallardo replacement during a “hooning” session.

In the film, the two men that were featured in the previous three videos finally get to the room where Lamborghini keeps the Huracán and take it for a spin around the factory (just skip to the 2-minute mark if you're impatient).

This allows us to hear the glorious sound of the V10 engine and to witness Huracán’s ability to do donuts – it looks like the car’s four-wheel-drive system doesn’t mind this type of behavior at all.

The Lamborghini Huracán is a car that sounds and looks spectacular, and frankly, that’s all Lamborghini fans want.

Listen to the New Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4's V10 Fire Up

There's no holding back anymore on the new Lamborghini Huracan after we tasted the first official images of the Gallardo's replacement on Wednesday night with Carscoops bringing you first the full photo set today.

And while the Italians are holding on to the numbers and facts for a little bit longer, we can now present to you the first live video of the car, courtesy of German magazine Autobild that unashamedly placed its camera on the Huracan's rear-end.

What it found there are the delicious crackling sounds coming out of the 602-horsepower (610PS) V10 engine's quad tailpipes, as the car was being driven away.

It's a short video, but we guess it will do for now until we get better footage.
