Cars for Stars News

While Simon Cowell did lose out on a winning act at this year’s X Factor Final, the delivery of his brand new Lamborghini will no doubt have cheered him up.

Receiving the vehicle this week, the music mogul looked proud as punch as he welcomed the delivery of the £160,000 super car. Driven right to the front door of Cowell’s family home in London, Simon was joined by his son and tiny sidekick, Eric, on the doorstep.

Wasting no time spectating, the X Factor boss took the car out for a spin immediately, eager to get behind the wheel and see what the impressive-looking vehicle could achieve mechanically. And, by the paparazzi snaps, he was far from unimpressed.

According to sources, this particular model is capable on 0-60mph in just 3.6 seconds, able to reach 190mph with complete ease.

Showcasing a huge smile on his face, many would have thought this was the delivery of his first car. But, this Lambo is just the latest in a long list of high-profile, expensive motors found at Cowell’s home. The Lamborghini will now join cars such as the £1million Bugatti Veyron, the £160,000 Bentley Continental GT and the £650,000 Jaguar Eagle Speedster to make up Simon Cowell’s fleet.

Though a good week for big purchases, when it comes to business matters, it has not been all sunshine and rainbows for Cowell. With rumours flying around that Little Mix have parted ways from his record label, Syco, and Olly Murs advising the viewers of Lorraine to ‘forget the X Factor’, we imagine Cowell’s mood has been somewhat varied this week.
