My FM Log: The Unrivaled

The Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR and the Lamborghini Reventon made their way back to Forza Motorsport's Update 10 and having won these two timeless exotics, it's time to have a word with them.


Let's begin with the Lamborghini Reventon that I won by completing Update 10's Open Tour until the August 14, 2024 deadline.

Unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and limited to 20 units, costing about two million dollars each, the Reventon is one of the rarest and most unique Lamborghini models ever made, using some of the components from the Murcielago LP640. It was named after a fighting bull famed for the death of Mexican bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943 and heavily inspired the design of the fighter jet.

The 6.5L V12 derived from the LP640 Murcielago gave a 10HP boost, therefore it has 650HP of power and 660Nm of torque. When it was driven somewhere in Dubai, it achieved 356 kilometers per hour (221.2 mph) of top speed.

Of 20 made, 10 were delivered to the United States, 7 to Europe, 1 to Canada, and 2 to Asia. Notable owners include Khalid Abdul Rahim of Bahrain, Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov, and Ken Lingenfelter who is a car collector in Michigan. 


Lastly, let's get to know the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR, the one that I got from Update 10's Nemesis Tour until the August 28, 2024 deadline.

Introduced in 1997, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR is a GT1-class racing machine that is made to compete in the FIA GT Championship. A year later, it spawned its road-legal homologated equivalent.  Powering the road car is a 6.9L V12 engine that produces 604HP of power, making it capable of going from 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 198mph.

Only 26 road cars were made and sold, making it one of the most exclusive and desirable Mercedes-Benz models ever produced. 20 were coupes and 6 were roadsters. Two of them, a coupe and a roadster, were RHD models built for the 29th Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah. The other two coupes left the factory with SuperSport specifications powered by the 7.3L V12 engine that would later power the Pagani Zonda.




Let's take these two iconic supercars for a quick spin around South Africa's Kyalami GP Circuit. We'll see how fast they can go and how much power they have.



These cars really are in a class of their own. They are unrivaled from the way they look to the way they feel.

Enjoy your new rides!

Forza Horizon: MORON 5 AND THE CRYING LAMBO

The senior bully vs. the junior bully
Autumn Fallout

Troublemaking Italians by night

Think of The Reunion meets Moron 5 but believe me, a V12-powered Lamborghini is more enough to be a "moron" because when you take a spin in one of these; the Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, and the Aventador, you'll becoming more of a moron who want to spend the rest of his lifetime making so much trouble in Colorado. I mean look at these;



Five times the trouble, right?! I mean hey, we all love a good troublemaking Lambo because they're more fun to drive than Ferraris. The feeling of driving a Ferrari is a bit serious, a bit emotionless, and a bit...well you get the idea. As for Lamborghinis, the feeling of driving a V12-powered Lambo really plant a smile on my face, acting like an idiot, and I'm becoming a moron like anyone else.

The Aventador, Murcielago SV, Diablo SV, Countach QV, and the Miura, they are what I called the MORON 5 but there's a Lambo that I like to call it the CRYING LAMBO. Why? It's rare, it's expensive, and they only made 15 of them. That's the Reventon Roadster.

The very rare Reventon Roadster


Here's a good story about the Roadster version of the Reventon; it was launched at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and it is limited to 15 units available, five less than its hardtop equivalent. Sadly, it's proven to be less quicker than its hardtop equivalent; its top speed is 205 mph and it takes just 3.3s to reach 62 mph. Still, it's more than enough to call this one THE CRYING LAMBO. It always out there to hunt those five V12 Lambos that we all love but hey! Moron 5 and the crying Lambo! Ha ha ha ha ha.....

V12 Lambos are more on fun, more on laughter, and more on ridiculous adventures in Colorado. I'm starting to get my nose bleeding...Sorry about that. As I said, those V12 morons like the Aventador, Murcielago, Diablo, Countach, and the Miura, they're like five friends who are morons back when they were kids and they when they grow up, they went to something that they thought it was some kind of audition of some reality show but turned up to be application to some nightclub...as macho dancers. (laughing)

Just as I thought, the dumb can't get even more dumber every time when you set foot in one of these V12 Lambos.

So exclusive, you're gonna need an entourage for that!
