Premier4590 is launching a new body kit for Lamborghini Gallardo. The Japanese tuning company released a similar body kit like the one used on Continental GT some while ago. The new package features aerodynamic redesigns for the front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and rear spoiler and as an option, the package offers also stainless steel exhaust tips. All pieces are hand made in Japan and will be built using a combination of Carbon Fiber and FRP. “For this line up we have assembled our best teams of craftsmen in Japan to hand build these parts.” said Hironoa Yokomaku, president of Premier4509.
The design of the kit will aid the aerodynamic efficiency and will direct the airflow to vent crucial components on the vehicle. “We’ve been in this business for twenty years now and we’ve always been known for our quality. The design is reminiscent of where Lamborghini is headed in design. I wanted to capture that essence while offering a dramatic option to Gallardo owners,” said Yokomaku.
Ronald Affolteris the owner of a respected Lamborghini dealership, but he also likes to customize cars. One of them unveiled in 1998 was the Diablo Evolution GT1. He completely redesigned the car, including a new front and rear bumper, and changing just about everything that could be changed.
Exterior modifications are extensive, with every body panel being modified or replaced. Pop-up headlights were removed and fixed ones took their place. A custom wing has been added and side intakes were enlarged, and twin-ducts feed air to the engine.
The Affolter Diablo Evolution GT1 is powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine that delivers 630 hp. The GT1 is a RWD driven car, with Mid-Engine engine location. The V12 engine is mated with a a 5-Speed Manual transmission.
You all know that the Reventon was Lamborghini’s star at the Frankfurt Auto Show. But not many of you know that the Reventon could have been overshadowed by a faster super with a more aggressive design, but never destined to go into production.
The supercar we are talking about was named after the founder of Automobili Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini. It is based on the drivetrain of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 which is powered by a 6.5 litre V12 producing 640 horsepower and 660Nm of torque.
With the new Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini once again sets a higher standard for super sports cars. With its new engine, permanent four-wheel drive transmission and new suspension, it delivers clearly improved performance and dynamics. In parallel, its innovative design takes the classic lines unique to the Lamborghini brand one step further. Powerful elegance has never been so defined before.
The Gallardo LP560-4 is the successor of the most successful Lamborghini model of all time. Approximately 7100 Gallardo models have left the Sant’Agata Bolognese production plant since its launch in 2003. “The LP560-4 will consolidate this success story,” states Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “It will outclass its predecessor in every aspect; its dynamics are distinctly breathtaking and its design sets new standards. With the introduction of the Gallardo LP560-4, we will consistently continue Lamborghini’s growth strategy”.
Special emphasis must be laid on the technology- and design-package made from Autoklav moulded carbon fibre. Technology which is normally only being used in Formula 1 and other Top-motorsports Series.
Imsa’s main target was, for all owners of the Lamborghini top-of-the-range-model, to offer an exclusive product line, transforming the Murcielago both technically and optically into a unique work of art, with the aim of significantly enhancing the exclusivity of Lamborghini’s top-model.
The strinkingly aggressive and aerodynamically highly effective front apron (spoiler) perfectly aligned to the wheel arches (widened 35mm on each side), directly becomes apparent.
On the upper side of the wheel arches, imsa CFK air ducts have been integrated, resulting in a significant reduction of the drag effect caused by non-aerodynamic airflow at higher and highest velocity. The imsa side-skirts on the underside guarantee the optimum airflow to the imsa diffuser, which has been developed for an aerodynamically perfect interaction with the imsa rear spoiler. Imsa herewith achieved to considerably lower the downforce at higher and highest speeds.
The author’s biggest dream is to work as a designer for Lamborghini; a very natural desire, since he lives in Modena, just a few kilometers away from Sant’Agata Bolognese. This is where the idea of creating the Embolado came from.
As Luca Serafini explains “the inspiration came from the research of a Spanish festival, named “Embolado Bull” (or Toro Embolado). “The choice of the name was the first step towards the creation of this concept”.
“Based on the Gallardo dimensions, I started to define the main lines in a very marked and steady way, giving the front end taurin forms”.
There are two things that made everyone know we are watching the Lambo SUV under the skin of that false Cayenne: one – the prototype tested was huge compared to the next generation Cayenne that will be smaller and sportier than the current generation. And second, the widened fenders and lowered front-end are not from a regular SUV. Conclusion: we are watching something big! Future Lamborghini SUV that will be unveiled sometime in 2009.
Where were also rumors telling that this might be a Bentley SUV, but the one who saw the prototype on the race track said that the testing speeds were too high for a luxury SUV.
The question is what are going to be the performance of a SUV made by a supercar market? Under the bonnet where will be the same 5.0 liter V10 engine used in the Gallardo, but the weight of the SUV will make the car slower. Maximum output will be around 500 hp and the Lambo SUV will hit an estimated top speed of 175-180 mph.
