The idea of an all electric Pony car or Shelby Cobra might not sit well with some people, but California-based company, HST International has developed a pair of electric vehicles ready for sale based on the iconic pony cars. Dubbed the Tjaarda EVX Mustang and HST Shelby Cobra EVX, the 2 new cars will be on show at the 34th Annual Toyota GP in Long Beach, California.
Isn’t the throaty grumble of the exhaust part of the allure for these cars though? Where’s the passion when simply pressing the go pedal and the 1,355Nm (1,000ft-lb) of torque at 0 rpm and a peak output of 300hp shoots you from to 60 MPH in only 3.9 seconds for the Stang, and 3.2 seconds for the Cobra? Sure that’s damn fast, and you can get a 100 miles on an 8 hour charge at 120V, or a 3 hour charge at 220V, but still, don’t we want to keep our E-cars separate from our muscle cars? The Tjaarda EVX Mustang starts at $80,000, while the Cobra comes in at $125,000.

The Lamborghini Murcielago isn’t exactly one of those automobiles that needs much improvement, but that sure hasn’t stopped people from trying. This time, Japan-based Premier4509 has launched a limited edition kit for the Murcielago. For those of us who have an extra $28,000 lying around, you can buy what is essentially a carbon fiber bumper, sidepods and adjustable rear spoiler. Wheels and exhaust tips are “coming soon.” As far as carbon fiber body additions go, the touches are nice.
Photos and press release are below.
Premier4509™ Introduces Murcielago Design Package
Paramount, Calif. - (March 24, 2008). Premier4509™ announced that it will be developing a new line of products that have been created for performance luxury cars. The Premier4509 line launches with the performance based aero enhancement package for the Lamborghini Murcielago. The kit is limited to 300 sets worldwide and will feature a numbered serial plate.
The complete package includes a full front bumper with the boxed bumper support system, side pods and a rear bumper with optional adjustable rear spoiler. The total price is an MSRP at $28,000.00
The team responsible for the Premier4509 line has been developing performance products for nearly twenty years, holds two world racing records and owns more than twenty design awards.
The pieces will be manufactured with a combination of composites made of Carbon Fiber and Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) and will be hand crafted by a handpicked team of experienced technicians in Japan.
“The Murcielago is a difficult car to design with,” said Hironoa Yokomaku, president of Premier4509. “The boxed bumper support system makes it tricky to elaborate on designs. This is why many other companies will only offer a front bumper skin or a lip spoiler. Our product quality is good enough to do it the right way and offer the full set up. ”
The Premier4509 collection will even expand later this year to include more products for cars such as Lamborghini, Bentley, Aston Martin, Maserati and more. The Premier4509 line will include limited edition wheels, soft goods and executive class accessories.

So let’s face it, we’re always in competition with those around us. How many of you know what kind of car the Jone’s down the street drive? How many of your neighbors know what kind of car you drive? Well, if you really want to get their attention, here’s the perfect car for you. A GOLD PORSCHE. The watch, jewelery, and interior decoration company of Schmuckwelten (no, that’s not german for schumck) in Pforzheim, Germany has come up with a way to make Porsches seem utterly undesirable. What is it about an old 911 or a new Boxster that just screams “cover me with gold leaf”? I would have thought (hoped) this kind of thing would be a hangable offense in Germany. For more information, head on over to Schmuckwelten.

Did you miss out on Lindsay Lohan’s Mercedes Benz SL 65 AMG? Well, don’t worry. If you have a spare $180,000 lying around, you have a chance to buy Jenna Jameson’s very own 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago! This little Italian cream puff has just a bit over 11K miles on the odometer - no doubt Jenna Jameson just drove it to church on Sundays.
And Just think, owning it will tell the world… well, you can tell the world what you want when you’re driving the Queen of Porn’s former ride. But owning this yellow Lambo 50 years from now will be like having Mickey Cohen’s armored Cadillac today, so just think of it as a good “notorious celebrity” investment!
Here’s a few pics of the car, you can decide whether its better to see the Murcielago’s read end or Jenna Jameson’s backside.
Check out the auction here at eBay Motors.
