Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition by Anderson Germany


Anderson Germany has unveiled the new Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition.

Wearing a matte exterior, the car features an aerodynamic body kit with a new front apron, revised side skirts, a sporty rear diffuser and a fixed rear wing. Other goodies include a sport suspension, tinted windows, and black 20-inch wheels.

Inside, the cabin boasts Alcantara upholstery, white carbon fiber trim, and two-tone sport seats.

To give the car some extra kick, the 5.2-liter V10 has been outfitted with a revised ECU, a high-flow air filter, and a sport exhaust system (which weighs 22kg less than the stock unit). Thanks to these tweaks, the engine produces 600 PS (441 kW / 592 hp) - an increase of 40 PS (29 kW / 39 hp).

No word on pricing, but the car is currently available for purchase.

Gallardo LP560-4 - Victory II Hamann


German tuner Hamann has a new package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 that rechristens the Lambo as the Victory II.

The most striking feature is, of course, the new wing doors which Hamann believes is essential for this Lambo.

The tuner also adds a new body kit which includes a front apron with a carbon center in Race-design, new front fender and fender extensions for the rear, side skirts, roof air inlet, rear diffuser and a new rear wing. Hamann also offers to apply a carbon layer to the bonnet.

A little engine tweaking is also part of the package with a modest power boost to 580 PS (427 kW / 572 bhp) and 575 Nm (424 lb-ft) of torque over the series' 560 PS (412 kW/ 552 bhp). The new top speed reached is 328 km/h (204 mph). The sound of the V10's growl is also deepened by the addition of a sport muffler.

The Victory II comes with 20-inch Edition Race rims in a unique varnish - with 9.5J x 20 rims in 235/30ZR20 tires at the front and 13J x 20's wrapped in 325/25ZR20's for the back.

For the interior, Hamann fits new sports seats with a carbon back and provides a 14-part carbon set including sport steering wheel, door openers and decorative trim blends.


Lamborghini Gallardo Invidia edition by Amari Design


Amari Supercars, one of the largest pre-owned supercar dealers in the UK, has branched out into the tuning/lifestyle scene with Amari Design.

Almost compulsory these days for any self-respecting tuning firm of supercars, the Lamborghini Gallardo has been chosen as their first conversion. Dubbed the Invidia edition, the Gallardo features a restyled front bumper fascia, carbon fiber front lip, complete front fenders, quarter panels, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, carbon fiber diffuser, carbon fiber rear spoiler and stainless steel exhaust system.

The interior has also been made over with carbon fibre trim which is available in a range of different color weaves plus the carbon fiber racing seats trimmed in Alcantara.

Under the hood power output for the 5.0-liter V10 is increased from the standard 513 bhp (382 kW / 520 PS) up to a massive 740 bhp (552 kW / 750 PS). Although no details are given on the performance upgrade, Amari Design emphasizes that all engine tuning is performed in-house by their own Amari Service garage headed by master technician John Greatorex who Amari states is in the UK's top 5 supercar mechanics.

Development work is already underway for the first prototype and is expected to be launched end of April.

Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 by Reiter Engineering

Reiter Engineering has not wasted precious development moments after letting loose a street-legal version of the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT. This time Reiter moved swiftly to work on a Gallardo GT3 racecar in order to make it back as a street car.

The Gallardo is based heavily on the standard car with its 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V10. But Reiter's conversion features carbon fibre bodywork that includes fenders widened by 60mm, new front fascia, side skirts and a large carbon fiber rear wing.

The single large exhaust pipe reduces weight and helps add extra horses. Rubber is courtesy of sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 2. Standard seats have also been replaced by leather racing units.

Edo Present the Limited Edition Lamborghini LP 710 Audigier

edo competition has just released what they claim to be the fastest Lamborghini ever. The Limited Edition edo Lamborghini LP 710 has a top speed of 224 mph (360 kph). Only five units of the LP 710 will be produced.


At the base of the LP 710 is a Murciélago LP 640. After disassembling the supercar, edo tuners make modifications to the body work, engine, exhaust, interior, tires, and wheels to bring the car up to their racing standards. All mods are completed within three months.

Surprisingly, the company seems more interested in the design of the car than its power. At the heart of the design is fashion magnet Christian Audigier, who chose the matte black paint for the car. Inside, Audigier embroidered his own name into the seats, while utilizing a different set of fabrics and materials for the seats, door paneling, and center console. World-reknowned artist Marcus Pfeil worked with Audigier to create an airbrush design for the car.

Horsepower, torque, and curb weight is unknown at this time.

Each of the five Limited Edition edo Lamborghini LP 710 production units will be custom made, giving the customer a chance to veto some of the designs and make a more personal choice. If you purchase one, you also get the opportunity to run laps in your new supercar at the oval track in either Papenburg, Germany, or Nardo, Italy. edo will even lend out race driver Patrick Simon to teach you a few tricks for your new car.

Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT Racecar by Reiter Engineering

With racing cars come roadgoing versions. It's as predictable as the changing of the seasons. Now that the Lamborghini Murcielago has taken to the track in R-GT form, there's a way to get a similar vehicle for the street. Reiter Engineering, the German firm responsible for the Murcielago R-GT, showed a road-ready version of the lightened track car at the Essen Motor Show.

The show car's specific modifications are unknown, but if it's like the track car then it's got a standard Murcielago V12 engine and two-wheel drive. The obvious exterior modifications include a carbon-fiber spoiler up front and a new diffuser and spoiler at the rear, as well as a distinctive high-mounted dual exhaust outlet that's in line with the taillights. Black O.Z. Racing wheels set the yellow show car apart. The Murcielago R-GT shown at Essen will be sold as a one-off car, and Reiter says it will offer some of the components as limited-edition aftermarket pieces.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 by Japan's LB Performance

Where have LB Performance been all this time? The Japanese tuner says it's been in business doing its thing since 1993, but this is the first time we've come across them. Guess the web is one big ocean of information. The work they do to the Lamborghini Murcielago is seriously envy-worth, appearing to be of exceptional standard and positive aggression.

All the cars featured seem to be extremely low in suspension, yet nothing is said about suspension kits. Nothing is said about engine mods either, but Reventon is clearly an inspiration to some front bumpers. New body kits, spoilers, wheels and exhaust mufflers make LB Performance cars worthy of a second or fifth look.

Murcielago replica by ZORBA Design

Production ended in 1988 for the Pontiac Fiero, but that hasn't stopped kit car companies from resurrecting the mid-engine sports car into various supercar imitations. Not as visually dysfunctional as the recent Fierri Enzno this latest example comes from UsedFieroParts.com, an authorized distributor and installation partner for North Hollywood's very own Zorba Design, the creator of this Zorba G40 kit.

Available in coupe or roadster version, the G40 kit costs approximately $31,000 which takes into consideration an average Fiero donar car price, leather interior and paint work but excludes wheels/tires or any other upgrades beyond the donor Fiero.

Lamborghini Gallardo Elite Carbon Fiber Bodykit

US bodykit-maker Elite Carbon has unveiled a new kit for the Lamborghini Gallardo inspired by the LP560-4 and the Superleggera which the folks over at MotorAuthority.com say gives this Lambo a "more aggressive" looking visual style.

The kit features side skirts and scoop from the Superleggera (which means super-light in Italian), a diffuser on the back bumper, a rear wing, and a whole new front bumper. All parts are made of lightweight carbon fiber with the black color coming from a clear coating of the composite materials.

Elite Carbon also offers a separate rear diffuser and custom door mirrors out of the material.

No pricing details have yet been released. But a pair of carbon side mirrors by Elite Carbon carry a price tag of 3,000 US dollars and the previous rear diffuser is listed at 4.499.00 US.

In this economy, prices like that can seriously undermine your family's budget. Maybe you should think about delaying your next Lambo bodykits until next Christmas.

Murcielago Spyder by IMSA

Earlier this year, we saw German based tuning specialist, IMSA, squeeze a few extra ponies out of the Gallardo LP560-4, and now they have added 68 hp to the Murcielago Spyder for a total of 708hp. IMSA doesn't tell us exactly how they achieved these results, but the performance gain fractionally drops 0 to 100 km/h time from 3.4 to 3.3 seconds while top speed increases 10 km/h to 350 km/h.

IMSA has given the open top supercar an enhanced look with their GTR Widebody Kit consisting of a front apron, front lip, broadened wings, side skirts, carbon diffuser, rear spoiler, attachments improving the cooling air supply, ventilation louvres, IMSA Ultimo Wheels with genuine central locking system, and, lastly, the sports exhaust system available in various tailpipe configurations. But, the most fun feature is the sports exhaust system’s flap control which is operated by a remote control from the passenger compartment. The sound range is adjusted from decent “city limit” to “racetrack” ear plug levels.

LP710/2 Lamborghini by Edo Competition

Last we heard from Edo Competition's Lamborghini LP 640, it had just received a 23hp boost to 663hp and clocked a record breaking 345.7 km/h (214.8 mph) run, making it the fastest top speed ever recorded by a Lamborghini at the high-speed test track in Nardo, Italy.

Never content, the quest for more power has brought the Edo team back to the LP 640 with successful results. This time, through new exhaust headers, new high flow catalytic converters, new mufflers, a new exhaust tip, new performance camshafts, modified cylinder heads and new high flow air filters plus reprogrammed engine controls, the company from Ahlen, Germany has added another 47hp for a whopping total of 710hp and 700 Nm (516 ft-lb) . The result is 0 - 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds; 0 – 200 km/h (124 mph) in under 10 seconds.

With an aerodynamically optimized rear wing with an adjustable lip, the Edo team should have no problem breaking their last record as they calculate the vehicle is capable of a top speed greater than 360 km/h (224 mph) .

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 goes to 584hp, by IMSA

The Lamborghini LP540-4 was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, it is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine and as the name suggest pumps out 560 ponies and features a 4WD Viscous Traction system. This is the sort of package that puts the it's big brother Murciélago under a lot of pressure to come out with something even more spectacular and Lambo tuning specialists IMSA are hardly doing it any favours.

IMSA have introduced a new sports exhaust system to the model which adds an even stronger melody to the engine and brings total power output to 584hp. The exterior modifications include a new set of lightweight alloys and sports suspension kit along with an aerodynamic enhancing carbon fibre rear wing.

Gallardo Superleggera by Edo Competition

Following the tuned Murciélago LP 640, edo competition presents its second Lamborghini project with the Gallardo Superleggera.

Through high flow breathing components such as a massive air box and newly designed high flow catalytic converters plus a recalibrated engine control unit, the Gallardo SLE produces 30hp (22 kW) more to 560 hp (411 kW) at 8,250 rpm. Top speed is bumped up to about 6 km/h (4 mph) to 320 km/h (199 mph) and 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) arrives in 3.7 seconds and 0 – 200 km/h (124 mph) in 11.7 seconds.

Also, 19-inch three piece racing wheels shod in stock-sized or 245/35 ZR 19 (F) 305/30 ZR 19 (R) Dunlop Sport Maxx tires plus 15mm lowered suspensions and smoked side turn signals round out the package, except for one last detail.

The exhaust system's sound volume can be adjusted at the press of a button via remote control. Check out the video above for demonstration.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 By Imsa

German tuning shop imsa released a set of technological enhancements and design improvements for the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 late last year. They recently sent us a new stack of photos to pass along to our faithful readership. As if the stock version of the 640hp supercar wasn't advanced enough, Imsa has created a set of features designed to perfect engine tuning and reduce drag.

A follow-up to their GTV Supercar, the imsa LP640 uses the same central locking sports wheels, individually tuned chassis, and engine mods as the GTV. Purchasers of the freshened-up Murcielago will get an Autoklav-moulded carbon fibre design package that can keep the material's original look or be custom painted.

New exterior pieces include wider wheel arches, a new front spoiler, and imsa CFK air ducts meant to reduce drag at incredibly high speeds. Side-skirts direct underside airflow into a new diffuser, which works with a custom rear spoiler to further improve aerodynamics.

With the lowered downforce, imsa claims the driver gets better "stability, safety and enjoyment."

The tuning kit is currently available, and can also be purchased for the standard Murcielago.
