Bentley is touting its badass side, offering up a new “Power on Ice” tour that allows customers to drive a Bentley over snow and ice. I suppose the brand feels it must compete with the likes of Ferrari and their Winter Driving Program, aimed to educate drivers on proper handling in all-weather conditions (follow link for full details and to see the Ferrari FF on ice!) Note: Bentleys can hit speeds of 205 mph on ice!

A free Lamborghini Murcielago was a dream-come-true for truck driver David Dopp, who won the “Joe Schmo to Lambo” contest at his local gas station in Utah. Thousands of people entered the competition to win the Lamborghini, and Dopp beat out the remaining 9 finalists at Lavelle Edwards Stadium for the win. That is where Dopp’s lucky streak ended.

If you are hitting the 2011 Miami Beach Art Basel, the endless procession of events and “can’t miss” flyers can be enough to overwhelm the sturdiest of art-lovers. Seriously though…last year I was reduced to a quivering heap of panic somewhere along the shoreline, frantically wondering if my plan to forgo a plan of action was smart…it wasn’t.

Preparations are under way!

I have mentioned the lucky law enforcement officials around the globe fortunate enough to be graced with a supercar or two in their fleet, such as Korea police supercars and Italy. Now you can see Italy’s police Lamborghini in action on the track, lights blazing!

One of our favorite luxury auto brands, BMW, is poised to create a jolt at this year’s Miami Art Basel with the BMW i luxury hybrid car! BMW is to support the 10th annual eclectic event, perhaps the most prestigious annual event to hit our shoreline from December 1st-4th, 2011. So how exactly does the brand intend to up the ante this year?
   
For the fans, clear your schedule for Friday, December 2nd and attend BMW’s “The Future of Design & Sustainability” event, where you can absorb the details of the BMW i electric car and a tasty cocktail. There will be an exclusive press event with Benoit Jacob during that time!

   
According to BMW’s Head of Brand Management, Dr. Uwe Ellinghaus,

Luxury cars like the Lamborghini can be used for any purpose on earth, even charity! This was displayed on Halloween at around 11 a.m. when a man dressed as Batman created quite the scene when his Batmobile (A Lamborghini) became disabled! It is unclear which prompted more attention, the getup or the sports car.

Hey, it beat Justin Bieber’s Batmobile attempt…which was interesting (and I mean interesting in the insulting British way).
