Swiss tuning house BF Performance has worked its magic on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 with its GT600 tuning package which can be used both for the Coupe and the Spyder. BF Performance was inspired by the fact that the Gallardo is a very innocent car which is neither dynamic nor individual enough and hence BFP set out to make it look more aggressive using aerodynamics also reducing weight in the bargain.
The kit comes with new side skirts, a rear diffuser and a rear wing all of which are made of carbon fiber. Though the engine mod details have not been made public, the tuning house claims that the GT600 helps the car with better acceleration while the use of Carbon-ceramic brakes take care of the speed. On the inside, the passengers get sports seats and a rollover cage. Available for order right away, the BF team can even redo the Gallardo with a rear-wheel drive-train.
Can you imagine that for some people, simply owning a Lamborghini Gallardo is not enough? That seems to be the case with this guy who’s showing off with a custom bike (bearing the Lambo moniker) and a custom trailer to carry it around town. So if we’re to make the math, it’s $250k for the car, some $150k for the bike and another $10k for the trailer — a total of $410k, just to be seen. Not bad, eh?
Lamborghini is in high spirits as the Italian moniker has managed to roll out the 4,000th Murcielago from the assembly line in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy.
Lamborghini President Stephan Winkelmann was pleased to achieve the feat as he believed that Lamborghini was successful with its product strategy and model range. Precisely, the 4,000th model was the LP 670-4 SuperVeloce featuring a 6.5L V12 beast that produces 661hp with 660Nm of torque. This amazing engine power helps the car dash from 0 to 60mph in 3.2 seconds while the super sports car achieves a top speed of 212mph. It will be a Chinese customer who will receive this landmark model that embraces Arancione Atla Orange on the outside and Alcantara material with black sports seats on the inside.
The ultimate Gallardo successor is still a mystery and many predict that it will not happen before 2012 which means rumors about an updated Lambo Gallardo LP570-4 model get your adrenaline to higher levels. Supposedly headed for the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the nomenclature signifies the addition of 10hp which will take the overall count to 570 horsies equally distributed to the four wheels of the new Gallardo. Minor changes on the inside will also be evident along with changes on the outside embracing aerodynamics — a new front spoiler, a carbon fiber rear wing and an all new front suspension arrangement. Carbon ceramic brakes may help the car come to a halt but this is again an assumption as of now. [via Autoblog]
Designer Slavche Tanevsky is the guy guilty for coming up with this amazing & aggressive concept car. Dubbed Lamborghini Ankonian, the vehicle is meant as an upgrade to the famous Lamborghini Reventon and continues with the stealth fighter jet inspiration (already becoming a habit for the Italian manufacturer) for coming out with a pimped version of a Batmobile. Make it a radar-evasive car and take it to the production lines, that’ll make our day. [via fubiz]
What you see in the above picture is what happens when you “clip” a Seat coming out of a gas station at an undisclosed speed and smash into a row of parked cars.
At least that’s what the Italian Police wants you to believe. The crash took place after the driver of the vehicle attended a function at night promoting safe driving. Oh the irony of it all.
It was also driven by one of 20 Italian Policemen that were trained to handle the power of the Gallardo for chasing bad guys.
But I smell a rat. I think what more than likely happened was something more like this -
Back in the late 80’s Lamborghini built a vicious 4×4 called the LM002. It had the V12 from the Countach upfront and as you can imagine with that sort of power was an incredible vehicle offroad. It would have easily been able to venture off the tarmac and onto curbs, straight over them and not really getting damaged in the process.
The Murcielago not so much. This one smashed into a curb and lost it’s passenger side front wheel.
Underground Racing have been quite busy lately, this time modifying a Lamborghini Gallardo. Ordered by a person named Jonah, the modified Gallardo can produce the impressive 1500 horsepower running on VP C16 racing fuel. It’s worth mentioning that the model loses a lot of the engine’s original power by the time it’s reached the tires – an estimated 25% for this vehicle, which means that the original produced power may go up to 1900 HP! When testing the car, Jonah took the quarter mile on the track in under 10 seconds, coming in at a little over 160 mph. Even though, from his words, it’s been a while since he’s took her to the track, he still managed to bring out the beast in this already respectable car.
You have a Lamborghini Murcielago in the garage, but the little beast doesn’t stand out as you’d like. Well here’s a little something to use as inspiration. Apparently somewhere in London (we’d expect to see it either in Russia or Dubai to be honest), this Murcielago has been covered with an adhesive foil/wrap with chrome finish. Definitely makes cleaning hard but the result is an eye catching little monster. What do you think? [via Synamatic]
If up until now we had our time with leopard hanging out in Audi TTs, French drivers that park in their “own” way or amazing Still Dre cars from Serbia, today you’re going to check out an in-depth review of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Behind the wheel, Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear. Enjoy!
The wicked tuners from Wheelsandmore are out at it again to prove their creativity and this time around the guys got their hands on a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 620 that they called YarroW. With an added ECU tampering, a carbon airbox and a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, the little monster has been upgraded to output 620 little horsies and 580 lb-ft of torque (785 Nm).
With that much power under the hood, there’s need for a beefed-up braking system with 8-piston calipers fitted on the front wheels and 6-piston calipers for the rear, and an upgraded suspension with a special coil over that lifts (hydraulic, of course) up to 1.77 inches. But the Gallardo tuning kit wouldn’t be complete without some exterior changes. That’s why Wheelsandmore have added a set of stylish 20-inch wheels with 3-piece forged rims available in multiple colors.
So how about prices? The engine tuning is 12,500 Euro, the braking system about 14,000 Euro, the suspension will cost an additional 9,000 Euro, with rather expensive wheels at 11,400 Euro.
