Lamborghini Furia Concept Design by Amadou Ndiaye
Posted by: | CommentsThis concept is based on a platform similar to the one used for the LP560
Compared to the Lamborghini LP 560 the shape remains practically the same. The particular improvement concern the backside of the car where headlights were entirely redesign; changes were also made in the front of the car with air intakes more prominent with LED Day light right above. The picture window which crosses the whole roof of the car makes it possible to illuminate the cockpit but also to see the engine located just behind the 2 passengers.
The arrival of air intake in the back of the side panes allows to cool the engine but also to direct another flow of air towards the back aileron which is raised at high speed only .
This concept is what the Reventon is to the Murcielago : an exclusive version with an increase in performance and a renewed design.
2010 Edo Lamborghini Gallardo LP600-4 breaks cover
Posted by: | CommentsNo, these are not the dimensions of what Santa’s about to bring. These are the three most prominent figures of the new edo LP600/4. 600 stands for its power output, 340 for its top speed and 3.5 seconds is how long it takes to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) from a dead stop.
edo competition has managed to improve performance by increasing power output to 600 horsepower at 7,970 rpm and the torque output to 572 Nm (422 ft-lb) at 6,845 rpm.
Another priority was to upgrade the suspension in order to improve drivability, driving dynamics and precision. edo competition achieved this by employing a newly developed sport suspension system, which is adjustable in compression and rebound damping. This technology allows for custom suspension setups that are ideally matched to a wide range of needs. The low friction shock absorbers and new spring rates were tested extensively on race tracks and high speed ovals, as well as on the road, because handling is not an area for compromise. The result has to be experienced to be believed…
Rounding off the sporty concept are 19 in. three-piece racing wheels with artificially-aged cast center-sections, hand-polished outer rims and 39 stainless steel screws. For the front axle the customer can specify stock tire dimensions or 235/35 ZR 19, while the rear wheels are shod with 305/30 ZR 19 Dunlop Sport Maxx rubber. With this solution edo competition enables its customers to reuse the factory tires on their new wheels.
Another, ever-intriguing topic at edo competition: „The voice“.
The new stainless steel high-performance exhaust system with butterfly valves is an attractive proposition. Not only is the sound level adjustable via remote, the exhaust also frees up 15 horsepower and lets the driver enjoy a whole new aural experience. As a welcome side effect, the edo exhaust system weighs 12 kg (26 lb) less than the original piece.
As a result of years of experience with high speed tests, edo competition has reinforced the front end of the edo LP600/4 with a new front spoiler lip, making 340 km/h (211 mph) runs into a relaxing affair.
As promised, lots of extra spice …
As with all edo competition models, we set no limit to our customers’ imaginations. Special interiors or lavish leather upholstery, individual requests are accommodated and executed with quality.
All modifications are carried out exclusively at edo competition Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen.
ENCO Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 in Detail
Posted by: | CommentsAt a time when most designers swear by curves and shapes which flow and merge, the Lamborghini Gallardo created by Belgian stylist Luc Donckerwolke dropped in 2003 like the proverbial bomb. Look for curves in this vehicle and – except where they are technically essential – you will look in vain. Edges and corners define the front, sides and tail. Donckerwolke’s courage in producing such clear-cut shapes and his ability to combine them in a harmonious whole has earned him the renowned red dot design award for the Gallardo and its big brother Murcielaga, which has been following the same design concept since 2001.
As time went on, the sports car manufacturer from Sant’ Agata, Bolognese, launched a range of Gallardos including an open-top Spyder and the lightweight and high performance “Superleggera”. In 2008, the Italian firm finally carried out some fundamental technical and optical modelling on its “small” sports car, also improving the styling even further. The front section of the V10 racer, now known as the Gallardo LP 560-4, has since been even more aggressive.
Known for its stylish finishing, ENCO Exclusive from the Saxon town of Chemnitz has now created a customised carbon fibre glove for the Gallardo LP 560-4’s lean mean body. The GT3 design front bumper is 100% carbon fibre and has three large gills on each side where the fibre strands are clearly visible. Two additional carbon fibre finish aerodynamic components are available to fit both this and the series bumper: the front splitter and the rear spoiler. The GT3 side skirts may be unobtrusive, but they make the Lamborghini as a whole appear even bigger and stronger. The boot cover for this mid-engine racer- what in normal cars is the engine hood – is also ultra-lightweight but highly resilient carbon fibre. The rear diffuser, wing mirrors and air vents in the boot lid are finished in carbon fibre laminate. Top quality matt foil adds the finishing touches, giving the angular Gallardo the look of a stealth fighter plane. ENCO Exclusive has also had a field day with carbon look laminate in the interior. The inlay on the wheel, the cover on the central console and dashboard and the handbrake shine in silvery black – as do the door handles and openers.
Enco has also been at work on the 5.2 litre V10 engine. After some serious power treatment, the ten cylinder with its menacing roar now reaches not 560, but an impressive 620HP. The maximum torque is now up from 540 to 575 Newton metres.
Prices
100% carbon fibre GT3 front bumper: 2990 euros
Carbon fibre finish front splitter for series and GT3 bumper: 990 euros
Carbon fibre finish rear spoiler for series and GT3 bumper: 1990 euros

2010 Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Gallardo LP 620 Yarrow breaks cover
Posted by: | CommentsWheelsandmore from Germany, individual luxury tuner for sports- and supersportscars, exclusively presents their latest relaese, based on a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 called „YarroW“.
To increase serial performance they used a special stainless steel, valve controlled exhaustsystem, combined with an ECU upgrade and a special carbon airbox obtaining enormous 620 hp / 580 lb-ft at 6400 rpm.
Controlling that power requires a high performance brake system. So it was necessary to develop a 8-piston caliper with 14.96 inch brake discs in the front and a 6-piston caliper with 14.17 inch discs in the rear with special high-end brake pads.
Even more agility through 3-piece forged lightweight wheels, unlimited colour and surface combinations possible. For perfect visual appearance and handling they customized their „6Sporz“ model sizing 8,5×20“ with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres 235/30/20 in the front and a 11,5×20“ with 305/25/20 in the rear.
So that sportier performances and still more aggressive occurrence are lent to the italian sportscar, the tuner adapted a race established special coilover with adjustable rebound and compression, hydraulically liftable around 1.77 inch.
Finally the YarroW got a lot of carbon parts out- and inside as a covered frontflap, the mirrors, the rear diffusor and several parts inside for the perfect sportsfeeling.

The REITER Murciélago Strada is designed in the style of its aggressive looking brother the race REITER Murciélago R-GT, which is a reason why the REITER Murciélago Strada is still one of the fastest 15 cars to lap the Hockenheimring. In the process of this benchmark test staged by the specialist magazine “sport auto” it also leaves current Lamborghini brand models, such as the LP560-4 or Superleggera, in its wake. The Strada derivatives will also benefit from the current development work on the REITER Gallardo GT3 Evo-kit.
The undoubted spectacular appearance of the REITER Murciélago Strada is more than emphasized by the sound of our exhaust system.
Front splitter, rear diffusor and an aluminum flat bottom collectively form the refined aerodynamic configuration. The application of original Alcantara leather in the cockpit for the in-house designed sports bucket seats lends the car more than a touch of sporting elegance.
