The Lamborghini Urus isn't the first SUV from the Italian firm. That distinction goes to the Lamborghini LM002, a rough-and-tough SUV with Countach-like performance and a go-anywhere attitude. For anyone who needs such a vehicle in their life, one is heading to auction. RM Sotheby's consigned this 1988 Lamborghini LM002 for its Amelia Island (Florida) auction and it shows 33,000 miles on the odometer. This is an early model with a carbureted V-12 under its angular hood. As cool as that is, it makes the LM002 a thirsty thing. The less-than-impressive 8 mpg is somewhat mitigated by a whopping...

This original Shelby Cobra 427 should fetch millions at auction
It's amazing what you can do if you just think outside the box a little bit. That's what Carroll Shelby did when used a hefty dose of American ingenuity to transform a little British roadster called the AC Bristol into the Shelby Cobra. By ingenuity, of course, we mean a massive V-8 engine. Pairing...

Pope Francis received a new set of wheels on Wednesday, but the car is quite different from any other Popemobile. That's because it's a Lamborghini Huracán, an Italian supercar with 571 horsepower. His Holiness won't hold attend any track days, though. Instead, Lamborghini's gift will be auctioned off for charity with Pope Francis allocating the benefits himself. The special Huracán is a rear-wheel-drive coupe that pays homage to the colors of the Vatican City's flag. Lamborghini's customization department, “Ad Personam,” finished the exterior in Bianco Monocerus...

The Ferrari LaFerrari consistently commands big bucks no matter when one rolls across the auction block, but this example is slightly different.

A street-legal Lamborghini Concept S is heading to auction
Concept cars range from "very cool" to "hey, maybe don't try to build that one for real." The 2006 Lamborghini Concept S falls far more into to the cool range of the spectrum. It's a one-off machine that shows the potential for an even crazier variant of the Gallardo, but it never came to be. The...

Not every custom build becomes an icon, but this 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe transcended all and has become a superstar. It even has a name: "Scrape." And if you like what you see, RM Sotheby's will see the iconic Lincoln off at the Santa Monica auction June 24-25. Why is the Zephyr Scrape so iconic? It has one heck of a story to explain its stardom. The car is the brainchild of former Hot Rod magazine editor Terry Cook, who spent years dreaming up the design. It's meant to combine the best of the Zephyr's design: the cowl-back looks from the 1938-'39 models and the handsome snout of the...

Homologation Special: Cosworth-powered Mercedes headed to auction
Homologation specials need to happen far more often. Remember when they were a semi-regular thing?

This resulted in glorious...

First Porsche 901 Cabriolet Prototype to be auctioned off
Long-time Motor Authority readers know the story of Porsche and its 901. The plan was to graduate from the design designated 800-series cars and move into the 900 range. The first car was the 901, which was shown at the Paris Auto Salon in 1964. Peugeot didn't take too kindly to that number scheme...
