Prindiville Lamborghini Murcielago Wallpaper | Lamborghini
Record sales of top-end supercars and luxury limousines over the past few years has been good news for manufacturers, but perhaps less satisfactory for customers seeking exclusivity.
So how do you stand out when all your contemporaries have the same supercar as you? Simple: by commissioning your own bespoke coachwork.
British-based Prindiville Prestige is reviving the traditional art of exclusive coachbuilding and complementing it with modern materials and technologies, allowing clients to create a car that is unique. And to demonstrate its talents in three-dimensional form, Prindiville Prestige has painstakingly handcrafted the ‘Murciélago by Prindiville’.
‘Murciélago by Prindiville’
Although retaining the central core of the donor Lamborghini, in terms of its bodywork ‘Murciélago by Prindiville’ shares only the front compartment lid; all the other panels, including the roof, have been replaced and restyled.
There’s a bolder, more aggressive front valance, eye-catching sills, a more dynamic rear valance through which exits a specially designed titanium sports exhaust system, ‘handle-less’ doors with remote electric opening, and a restyled engine bay cover with transparent cooling louvres. All of the body panels are in exquisitely finished carbonfibre.
£10K interior ‘jewellery pack’ – the price of doing the job properly
‘Murciélago by Prindiville’ features a bespoke interior, enhanced by the use of rich ostrich hide and precision-milled aluminium accents. There are also ‘little touches’ that reveal the depth of the company’s attention to detail – precision engineered aluminium air vents, for instance.
‘The standard plastic air vents aren’t worthy of the rest of the interior,’ explains company founder, Alex Prindiville, ‘so although it was a complex and therefore costly procedure, we decided to manufacture replacements from aluminium. On their own these vents represent a significant proportion of the £10,000 cost of our interior ‘jewellery pack’, but it’s all part of the price of doing the job properly.’
Finishing touches – door mirror cameras
Clients can, of course, specify whatever on-board entertainment and communications systems they desire. An extra that they may wish to consider is the door mirror camera system fitted to the ‘Murciélago by Prindiville.’ Installed in each of the door mirrors, miniature cameras feed images to a monitor in the cabin, helping owners to protect the sills and alloy wheels of the car when parking next to high kerbs; a rear valance-mounted camera is also part of the system.
Coachbuilding – bringing dreams to life
At the very high end of the car market, exclusivity is crucial. ‘And that’s where we come in,’ explains Alex Prindiville. ‘A client can either commission us to generate and execute an idea, or they can engage us in a consultation process where we bring their dream to life.
‘Whichever route our clients choose, our skilled engineers and craftsmen then realise the project to the very highest standards. And because every client has different ideas, what we produce for them is truly unique.’
More dreams to come in 2009
Following the recent presentation of the ‘Murciélago by Prindiville’ at the 2009 Top Marques Monaco motor show, several orders have already been taken. And on the drawing board for later in 2009 is a Ferrari F430 with gullwing doors and rear-hinged complete tail section, akin to that of the fabled F40, as well as a fresh interpretation of the BMW X6, visual enhancements for the Porsche Cayenne, and a road-going Le Mans-style supercar.
As well as furnishing clients with complete cars, Prindiville Prestige is also able to supply individual components either to its own designs or those of a client.

2010 Hyundai ix35 Official Revealed
The first undisguised images of the all-new Hyundai ix35 are already released. The new C-segment crossover showcases the new ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language of the Hyundai brand. Like we wrote last week, the ix35 will replace the popular Tucson – one of Europe’s best-selling SUVs – and will make its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.
According to Hyundai, the all-new ix35 design lines will be carried over to other new models from the brand, and the hexagonal grille will become a recognisable family attribute.
The new Hyundai ix35 combines enhanced aerodynamics, sleeker styling and refined powertrain in order to deliver better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions than rival SUVs.

2010 Maserati GranCabrio Official Revealed Wallpaper | Maserati
The Maserati GranCabrio, the first four-seater convertible in the Trident carmaker’s history, will make its world wide debut on September 15 at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. The introduction of the Maserati GranCabrio – the Trident’s third prong – completes Maserati’s product line-up that now consists of three different families of models: Quattroporte, GranTurismo, GranCabrio.
The Maserati GranCabrio represents the very essence of Maserati in terms of open-top cars. It’s a Maserati in the purest sense of the word: from the unmistakable style by Pininfarina to the spacious interior, from the craftsmanship of each detail to the driving pleasure and performance. The Maserati GranCabrio enriches all five senses in a shared open-air experience, without sacrificing comfort and performance. A dream car designed and built for men and women who love to live life in an understated – though sophisticated – manner. Like all the made in Maserati open-top convertibles: special cars aimed at refined connoisseurs.
In fact the Maserati GranCabrio is continuing the Maserati tradition in open-top cars, joining models that have played such an important part in the Modena carmaker’s history such as the 1950 A6G Frua Spyder, 1960 3500GT Vignale Spyder, 1964 Mistral Spyder, 1968 Ghibli Spyder and 2001 Spyder designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the car that marked Maserati’s return to the United States. In the footsteps of tradition, the Maserati GranCabrio opens a new chapter, because never before have four-seater top-down models ever been produced at the Viale Ciro Menotti Maserati factory. Four proper seats, so that the rear passengers are not merely supporting actors, but co-stars of the journey.
The Maserati GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7 litre V8, 323 kW engine and is the convertible with the longest wheelbase on the market. The Maserati GranCabrio’s roof is strictly canvas-made, emphasizing the link with the Maserati tradition.
The Maserati GranCabrio will be marketed starting next winter, and experienced by customers the world over from the following spring.
