Ever wonder what it’s like to be behind the wheel of the Lamborghini Spyder?

Jeremy Clarkson took the Tesla Roadster around the Top Gear track, saying it’s “an astonishing technical achievement.”

The Top Gear boys got their fish-and-chip scented mitts on a couple of Telsa Roadsters (you’ll see why) and gave it the full program. First up, some beautiful videography, then a little racing with a Lotus Elise, and finally a toss to the Stig for a run at the leaderboard. Take a look and see what the final verdict is yourself.

Beautiful spring and summer driving is here! And just in time, we’re pleased to announce the addition of the jaw-dropping 2009 Lamborghini LP560-4 – Lambo’s newest 201mph supercar to our fleet of club membership supercars.

Releasing the brake pedal sends up a poof of smoke as the rear tires chirp and slip through not quite one full rotation. The car then bogs, as though hunkering down, before exploding forward a millisecond later and launching Lambo’s latest supercar to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.

We are pleased to announce that Nick Nacca Photography was awarded an Addy for their work on the Vulcan Motor Club brochure & website. The entry was automatically forwarded to the district competition where it won another gold.

Thanks to Nick Nacca (Nick Nacca Photography) and Scott Mires (Mires+Ball) for their work on this successful project.

QUICKER THAN A GM EXEC SCRAMBLING FOR A BAILOUT

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce the addition of the all-electric Tesla Roadster to the Vulcan Motor Club’s collection of world-class supercars. This supercar has more grunt off the blocks than a Ferrari Maranello. It has the same acceleration as a Porsche 911 – 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds, or roughly the time it takes for you to read and absorb the sensational meaning of this sentence.

The carbon-fiber-paneled roadster is made spunky by an air-cooled electric motor fed by 6,831 lithium-ion cells resembling slightly overweight AA batteries. No gas, no oil, just juice from the wall socket—amounting to about $4 worth for a single fill-up.

Thanks to our friends at the Robb Report for the great coverage in the June 2009 issue.

“Car enthusiasts looking to bypass the 1,100+ people on the waiting list for the Tesla Roadster can do so with a membership to the Vulcan Motor Club, which just added this green monster to its extensive roster of high-performance luxury machines. With clubhouses in New York and New Jersey, Vulcan Motor Club puts its members in the driver’s seat of today’s most sought-after cars, ranging from the ultra-exclusive Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and the Lamborghini Murcielago to the legendary Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, all at a fraction of the cost of ownership.”

“Not many of us can afford to own a luxury car like the Mercedes Benz pictured above, but we can all dream! The Vulcan Motor Club helps make dreams come true. They have different plans that allow their members to drive these incredible machines. They offer “Wind and Fire” tours that allow participants to drive cars that range in price from around $114,000 for the Audi R8 to a high of $495,000 for the elegant Mercedes SLR Mclaren. They also offer membership plans that allow members to take the car home for 10 to 40 days a year.”

YOU’VE SEEN ONE AT YOUR LOCAL ICE RINK, BUT HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DRIVEN ONE?

“I had mentioned awhile back that I have a new Saturday gig, and it’s not a bad one at that. Friends of mine started-up the Vulcan Motor Club in Chester, NJ (where I hang) and have also recently branched out to Long Island, NY. The club makes a lot more sense than sinking tons of your own dough into buying an exotic– when you join immediately there’s an arsenal of the latest high performance and luxury vehicles at your fingertips, with none of the ownership worries in terms of maintenance, upkeep, depreciation, etc. All you need to worry about is– which car will it be today.”

“The Vulcan Motor Club is just what your looking for if you want to drive a supercar but not pay the super price. The club allows you to reserve a car in their fleet to drive. From the looks of it they have some really great choices; The Aston Martin DB9 Coupe, Ford GT, and Audi A8 just to mention a few I wouldn’t mind taking for a spin. Membership prices range from $13,500 to $36,000 a year depending on how much flexibility you want. I only need the “Wind & fire tour” described below. It runs $1240 plus tax and is all I need for a quick rush.”
