Lamborghini shoes?

We all know how fleet-footed a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is on the road - and now it is on the footpath too, literally. Here we have the world's first track-biased high heels.

The carbon fibre heeled shoes are the work of a brilliant designer and member of the CGSociety called Tim Cooper, who modelled them on a pair of his wife's high heels using a large handful of Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera images. The CGS - if you're wondering - is a group of artists who specialise in computer generated imagery and 3D modelling.

Of course, nobody with an iota of taste and decency would ever consider wearing these shoes - or even letting them anywhere near their house - but they're still a very clever piece of rendering. The level of detail is quite amazing - so much so, in fact, that there's a chance someone may take matters a step further and actually make them. Let's hope not...
