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?
ENCO have been developing a new styling and performance package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. The new package gives you the ability to completely overhaul your car’s exterior by adding carbon fiber components such as a boot cover (for about €3990), a front bumper (€2990) and a front splitter (just €990). But that’s not all you’re getting as this little monster comes with a matte black foil wrap (€3000), more aggressive side skirts (€3990), mirrors and custom boot lid vents (€4000). The package holds some goodies for the car’s interior as well, such as a carbon fiber trim for the steering wheel, new handbrake and dashboard, and new door handles – all for a mere €5000. But if you’re not into looks, only, there’s also a performance package for the 5.2l V10 engine, boosting power to 620 hp and 575 Nm torque.
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.
Whenever I rent a car I always try to take good care of it no matter what I’m driving. It’s someone else’s car and for some money they allow me drige it. It’s common sense to make sure I stay on the road and the car doesn’t get injured. That’s not what a group of late 20’s Asian men thought.
They were all invited to a wedding and decided to drive supercars (all rented). Since bragging about speed and drinking are not the best friends of a driver, they all felt brave and immediately left the ceremony, for what? To race of course! I’m pretty sure you’ve already seen the photo so not sure if it needs any more comments. The idiots crashed the Lamborghini in a tree, and then fled.
Doesn’t it sound like fun? I’m dying to know what happened when these guys had to return their rented supercars. Will they have to pay anything for the damages or for DUI ?

A few good improvements have been added to the beautiful Gallardo, now that they launched an update. It’s a new more efficient, all-aluminum engine, larger from 5.0L to 5.2L, that sports 560hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Sounds like a good add-on if we compare it to Ferrari 430 Scuderia which is missing 49 hp and 51 lb-ft of torque …
The 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (yes 560hp) uses an improved e-Gear sequential transmission that now takes 40 percent less time to shift gears, comes with changed front valances used for better cooling and changed rear that has a diffuser. Interior upgrades are not big, but they exist: a revised instrument panel, new headlamps and luggage area, and the claim of better driveability, stability, and handling.
