Lamborghini Aventador Is a Decepticon in New Transformers Movie [Video]

The new trailer for Transformers: Age of Extinction has just come out and it's nothing short of awesome. Besides a shot of Optimus mounting a robot dinosaur and kicking robot backsides, we also get to see his arch enemy, a yet "unknown" Decepticon arriving into battle as a Lambroghini Aventador.

There have been plenty of supercars that transform into man-killing robots over the years, but none have played a leading role. Could the Aventador be a new version of Megatron? No, this is Lockdown, a Decepticon bounty hunter. His job in the movie is to kill Optimus and all the other robots defending earth.

Also featured in the movie is Galvatron, a human-made Transformer who becomes immensely powerful and tries to destroy the planet.

Transformers has always been the movie franchise that nobody wants to see and everyone watches in the end. The first movie earned $709 at the box office, the third beat all expectations with $1.12 billion. Director Michael Bay is completely changing the already successful formula with a brand new cast of actors. Gone is Shia LaBeouf, replaced by Mark Wahlberg. He plays a struggling mechanic who's life is completely changed after bringing a broken down truck to his home. Need we say more?

Bigger robots, bigger explosions and supercars? We're in! The fourth installment in director Michael Bay's sci-fi action franchise will open in cinemas on June 27, 2014.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Track Footage Sets Your Pants on Fire [Video]

Lamborghini has not mumbled a single word about the Sesto Elemento ever since the Huran came out. However, a supercar made completely from carbon fiber that looks like this is not easily forgotten.

20 or so examples were supposed to be built by the in-hose Skunk Works division of Lamborghini, but so far only two have been made exclusively for promotional use. This next video shows one of those cars being driven hard recently at the Sepang Raceway in Malaysia.

This Formula 1 race track has plenty of high-speed curves where the 570 horsepower Italian thoroughbred can cut loose. There's no question about it, the Sesto Elemento sounds absolutely brutal, probably even more shocking than it is to look at.

An extreme limited production car, the Sesto Elemento is named after carbon, which not only make up most of its constitution, but is also the sixth element of the periodic table. Initiall previewed as a concept at the 2010 Paris MOtor Show, it was confirmed for production a year later.

Each model Lamborghini will make is going to cost $2 million and will be powered by 570 hp V10 engines borrowed from the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera. Extensive use of lightweight materials ensures a total weight just short of 1 ton, which brings about a power to weight ratio down to just 1.75 kg/hp.

Despite being completely illegal to drive on the road, the desirability and exclusivity of the Sesto Elemento ensures all 20 examples have been sold since 2012. That's a long time to wait for a car, even if it's a Lambo!
