Yoenis Cespedes' Latest Ride: Fire-Breathing Lamborghini
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork) – The Yoenis Cespedes car show continued Wednesday in the parking lot outside Mets spring training.
A day after rolling up in a flashy three-wheeled Polaris Slingshot motorcycle, the power-hitting outfielder arrived in a customized $400,000 satin black Lamborghini Aventador that shoots fire.
According to a New York Times article last month, Cespedes brought the car to The Miami-based Auto Firm, the same company that customized his other vehicles, to be repainted and to have the interior redone, wheels redesigned and an exhaust system installed the spits fire out of the back.

Newsday's Marc Carig wrote on Twitter that one of the team staffers needed to run an errand, and Cespedes let the employee use his Lamborghini.
One of the team staffers needed to make a quick Target run this morning. So, Yoenis Cespedes let the staffer take his Lambo.

It's the third wow vehicle Cespedes, who signed a three-year, $75 million contract with the Mets last month, has driven to camp already. On Sunday, Cespedes arrived in a custom, monster-sized Ford F-250 pickup truck.
