Exhaust flames denote engineering imperfection. After all, they're just unburned fuel catching fire as it exits the very hot exhaust of a car. But we wish all cars, even the most mundane, would be as "imperfect" as this sexy Italian.
Lamborghini has mastered the art of blowing flames out of their massive central pipes. This next videos shows one of their rarest new cars doing just that while sitting perfectly still for a private event.

And because this is 2014, we have two separate videos of the the same car shooting flames. Because one would never be enough, right?

The LP720-4 version of the Aventador came out last year during the Shanghai Motor Show. It celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary Italian brand by dressing up an Average Anvetador in aggressive carbon fiber blades. Due to special engine calibration, the 6.5-liter now makes 20 extra hp for the grand total of 720 hp, which gives the car its name.

As you can see with this yellow and black hornet, the front and rear fascias of the 50th Anniversary model have been redesigned and the aerodynamics further optimized for downforce. The body is finished in Giallo Maggio yellow paint while the interior is trimmed Nero Ade black leather combined with Terra Emilia brown and Giallo Quercus yellow.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
