2008 Edo Competition Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versione Nardo

October 21st, 2007. A 4am wake-up Espresso has to suffice. The remaining drowsiness disappears as soon as the 6.5 ltr. V12, now with 663 hp, is fired up. Re-torque the wheels once again. After checking the pressure of the new Continental V-max tires the edo competition LP 640 Versione Nardo rolls onto the 12.6 km (7.8 miles) long oval.

Each contestant has 3 laps: The first one as the warm-up lap, the second one as the high-speed lap and the third one as the cool down lap. By now it’s 6am, the sun is rising over the test track. It’s chilly with light winds, but above all -It’s dry. On this Sunday morning the warm-up lap is driven at speeds between 280 and 300 km/h (174-186 mph). Particular attention is paid to vibrations, oil-and water-temperatures. It feels good, the LP 640, and thanks to the newly developed rear wing it’s so fantastically stable, as if the tires were glued to the south-Italian tarmac.

Now it’s on. The second lap counts and the growl of the V12 is turning into an infernal shriek as the revs rise -similar to a chainsaw cutting through a giant sequoia tree. Wide open throttle is the norm now and even at 280 km/h (174 mph) one is still being pushed into the seat.
Meanwhile in 6th gear the raging bull comfortably eclipses the 340 km/h (211 mph) mark, but there’s more. 345.7 km/h (214.8 mph) is what TЬV-Rheinland’s meticulously accurate and incorruptible GPS-based measuring system shows.

Even the newly developed rear wing could prove itself in these extreme conditions. No drop in top speed -far from it, and absolutely stable driving behavior even at these high speeds.
Driven by this fantastic success the team of edo competition Motorsport will field the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 with considerably more power next time. The goal is 700hp, which should allow for a top speed in excess of 360 km/h (224 mph).

Stealth-Bomber for the race track: HAMANN Lamborghini Murciélago LP640

HAMANN Lamborghini Murciélago LP640

• Aerodynamic-components provide impressions of racing motor sports
• double-pipe stainless steel rear silencer
• Wheels „Edition Race“ in 20 inch
• Carbon-look interior set
• Complete interior kits to customer preferences on individual basis

It looks like a Stealth-Bomber on four wheels. It is one of the most masculine looking sports car and it is fast. The Lamborghini LP640 through its appearance gives a clear impression it’s not just for show. HAMANN decisively set its goal to send a clear message and sharpened the Italian steer’s horns. HAMANNs modifications through look, driving dynamics and sound create a distinct difference.

Maintenance of road contact is most essential when one is pushing a super sports car to the limit. To achieve greater downforce on the front and rear axle HAMANN offers a front spoiler as well as a rear wing. Whoever prefers to show their affiliation to motor sports can order the parts in Carbon-Kevlar instead of the fiberglass version. Where’s the starting grid?
HAMANN applies further aerodynamic components in form of a two-part rear diffuser with additional air hoses for the extendable side air intakes, side sills as well as a two-part front wing and Carbon-pendants for the original side intakes in the sills in front of the rear wheels. Furthermore, a central running air box on the roof brings back memories of past Lamborghini Diablo GT-R days. Naturally, these parts are also available in Carbon-Kevlar or fiberglass.

Impressive sound and stunning rims

The HAMANN double-pipe stainless sports rear silencer (2x120mm end pipes) emits a sound similar to that generated from race tracks announcing the arrival of the blood-curdling steer. Positive side effect; an even sportier rear look. Export customers can extend their exhaust system with a HAMANN sport metallic catalytic converter.

Also for individualization of vehicles within this high performance calibre, a choice of new wheel design is inherent. HAMANN suggests its own creation „Edition Race“. This multi-pieced, forged light alloy metal wheel with black wheel spider, “Y” spoke design, Titan bolts and high polished rim flange utilized for Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 comes in the combination 8,5Jx20“ front and 13,0Jx20“ rear. As expected, HAMANN also offers here a complete wheel set with typical tires sizes 245/30 ZR 20 (FA) und 335/30 ZR20 (RA).

HAMANN prepares the ****pit of the Super-Lambo providing even more sports racing atmosphere. For this, the tuners from Laupheim, Germany offer an 8-part carbon-look interior set. The race car look is established through instrument ****pit bordure, the air bleed jet, the gear shifting panel as well as the cigarette ashtray console. Naturally, HAMANN offers each Lamborghini customer preferred alterations on an individual basis. For instance, extravagant leather furnishing in a variety of colours is possible or additional of multi-media articles.

Lamborghini Edo Murcielago LP640

Edo Competition has tuned supercars from the Ford GT to the Maserati MC12. Naturally, it couldn't resist the opportunity to apply a little nip-and-tuck to the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640.

Speaking of plastic surgery, there's a new rear wing with an adjustable lip, plus a rearview camera and lots of carbon-fiber trim in the cockpit.

Edo elected to forego implants, focusing instead on squeezing a tad more juice from the Lambo's already potent 6.5-liter V12.

With such tweaks as a recalibrated ECU, high-flow air filters and redesigned stainless-steel exhaust system with high-flow mufflers, the Edo LP640 is bumped to 663 horsepower and 498 pound-feet of torque.

Edo estimates 0-60 acceleration in less than 3.8 seconds, with top speed climbing to 216 mph.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 by Edo Competition

The Edo Engineers have managed to squeeze another 23hp out of an already tweaked 6.5 liter V12 engine. In addition, torque is increased from 660Nm to 675 Nm at 5600 rpm.

The LP640 also received an exterior tweak with a specially designed rear wing with adjustable lip. On the interior, the Edo Engineers have been kind enough to install a rear view camera, very helpful when parallel parking your supercar at the golf club or office. Also to increase the supercar feel on the inside, carbon fiber has been inserted into the interior trim.

Technical Specifications:
Engine: 6.5L V12 cylinder
Output: 663HP @ 7800 rpm
Torque: 675 Nm @ 5600 rpm

Performance:
Top speed: 216 mph / 348 km/h (estimate)
0 - 62 mph / 0 – 100 km/h: 3.8 s (estimate)

Engine Modifications:
ECU recalibration
Special high-flow air filters
Newly designed high-performance catalytic converters
New exhaust butterfly valve control (remote-controlled on request)
New high-flow muffler
New stainless steel exhaust tips

Body:
Specially designed rear wing with adjustable lip
Tire pressure monitoring system

Lamborghini Alar

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The Lamborghini Alar 777 has been officially launched in Argentina. Unfortunately, since it's too late for us to believe it's an April Fools Day joke, we must wonder if this is simply an intriguing concept gone horribly wrong.

The local press and blogs in Argentina have assured the rest of us in the Outside World that the local Lamborghini distributor has indeed launched its own unique kit car of sorts, a rebodied version of the defunct Diablo.

The Alar was designed by Joan Ferci, whose previous Diablo-based creations include the Coatl and the Eros GT-1. Under the bizarre skin, the Diablo V12 reportedly has been massaged to deliver 700 horsepower. Ferci claims a top speed of 223 miles per hour.

Local sources say the plan is to build only a few hundred vehicles — at $750,000 per copy.

First Drive: 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo

Previews

SWM seeks long-term relationship. Willing to pay, prefer Italian, will not import from Thailand.

Sorry, ZZ Top, but despite those three letters clustered together in the name, superleggera does not translate to anything directly relating to a woman’s stems. Indirectly, though, you could make the argument. In English, superleggera means “superlight.” What it means is that this newest Gallardo, like the Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale, leans out a few pounds and packs on a (very) little bit more muscle, giving the car indeed a touch more leg to stretch.

Although European-spec Gallardo Superleggeras are lighter by the equivalent of a portly passenger (220 pounds), cars bound for the U.S. lose a trimmer sidekick and come in only 150 pounds lighter than more-pedestrian Gallardos. This is due to our side-impact standards, which mandate that Lamborghini leave the side airbags in the seats. We’ll still get one-piece carbon-fiber sport seats, but with pinhead cushions packed and waiting in the wings. Europeans get four-point harnesses; we make do with plain old three-point belts.

The New Black: Carbon Fiber

Elsewhere in the interior, carbon fiber covers the center tunnel and the door panels, and anything that was once leather is now Alcantara. The interior door panels are sheets of carbon fiber with an Alcantara pull strap for closing. Very utilitarian and purposeful, but we’d be horrified if we were paying for it. Stitching color-matched to the exterior adorns the seats and the dash, and the same color peeks through a perforated strip of the headliner over each occupant’s head. Unique gauges look cool at first glance, but on closer inspection, they might be off the clearance rack at Murray’s. Their tiny, swollen text is completely illegible, further compounding the problem we had driving Euro-spec cars with km/h speedometers on American roads. Uncertain of our speed, our default behavior was to assume we were going too slowly, squish the now pedal, and zoom away. Actually, it worked out just fine.

Carbon fiber is also used to shave weight outside. The underbody tray, the rear diffuser, the engine cover, the side skirts, and the side mirrors are all replaced with carbon-fiber copies. Polycarbonate takes the place of the glass in the rear window and engine cover. Revised intake and exhaust systems play on both sides of the power-to-weight equation, cutting weight and increasing power 10 horsepower, to 523. The new exhaust system gives the Gallardo a little extra snarl, but inside, the change is magnified by the hard door panels and the loss of 12 pounds of sound-deadening material. The result is an even more stirring aural enlightenment than in the regular car.

Driving Impressions

Ridin’ the Little Bull

But what’s it like to drive, man? It’s a Lamborghini. It’s exactly what everyone dreams it’s like. It’s fast, it’s loud, it’s tighter inside than an airplane bathroom and just about as difficult to see out of, but you’d ride in it all day and forgo sleep to do it all night if only the PR folks wouldn’t demand the keys back and your driver’s license weren’t in greater and greater peril with each and every firing of those 10 cylinders just behind your head.

Lamborghini claims a 3.8-second 0-to-60-mph shuffle, and from our drive, we don’t doubt it. Stay on it long enough, and you’ll end up at the same 195 mph as the base Gallardo. Ten extra horses don’t win any additional aerodynamic battles at that speed. Lamborghini’s paddle-shifted e-gear, a $10,000 option on base cars, is standard equipment in the Superleggera. A traditional six-speed manual is a no-cost option that actually costs $700 because that model gets 1 mpg worse on the EPA’s city test, which in turn nets a higher gas-guzzler tax. Impractical as it is, we love the look, feel, and sound of a gated shifter; e-gear, on the other hand, seems to shift slowly even in sport mode, which doesn’t quicken the shifts so much as it adds violence to a slow shift.

Our drive of the car started at a resort in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and made a beeline through metro traffic straight to Phoenix International Raceway. On the way to the track, we suddenly found ourselves entering a long tunnel with an open lane in front of us. We had to. There was simply no fighting it. The sun was warm, the windows were down, and children somewhere were laughing.

So we popped the left paddle a few times to drop the car into second. Under braking, e-gear will throw downshifts as recklessly as a rookie rev-matcher, zinging the tach above seven grand and perilously close to redline, but this time was not one of those extreme circumstances. With rev room left in second, we wound the car up and into third, and then just a little into fourth, the 8000-rpm hallelujah reverberating off the walls around us. Goosebumps rose on our arms, our own mortality seeming not to matter when life is lived this well. Drivers around us wept openly, calling estranged spouses and children to plead forgiveness. These things happen in a Lamborghini. Then we went to the track and things got really fun.

On The Track and Price

Ridin' the Little Bull in the Ring

Many moons ago, when some of us were young and others were merely less old, a Car and Driver staffer deemed it appropriate to demolish a Diablo prototype against a track wall in Italy. Lamborghini doesn’t just turn journalists loose on a track in its cars anymore. In Phoenix, we and our fellow scribes were instructed to play follow the leader with a Lamborghini test driver who had apparently been told that about 70 to 80 percent was plenty fast enough for us hacks. So we graciously took the back spot in a four-car conga line and dogged it until the rest of the group was far ahead, and then we played catch-up.

Catching up goes quickly in the Gallardo Superleggera, and gaps we thought we’d never close only took—at the most—about three-quarters of a mile. The base car already generates exhilarating g-loads in all directions; the last one we tested pulled a full 1.00 g on the skidpad and screeched to a halt from 70 mph in just 158 feet, figures that put it at the head of the pack in our "Lords of Envy" comparison test. To preserve the Gallardo’s drivability and keep the car from riding too hard (something Ferrari would never do with the Challenge Stradale, a strict track-oriented beast), Lamborghini actually loosened up the suspension on the Superleggera. Even though the Superleggera is lighter, Lambo claims it will pull the same 1.00 g as the base car and stop in only two fewer feet from 62 mph. Given the weight difference and the strong feel of the brakes, we think that’s a conservative guess.

The brakes felt so strong, in fact, that they threatened to pitch the car into a spin in a straight line when fully applied. And thus, we found the Superleggera’s greatest flaw. The balance of the car seems to be upset slightly by the weight loss, like a voluptuous woman who goes on a diet and ends up just skinny. In PIR’s longer corners, the car remained reassuringly neutral but was a little twitchier and displayed a new readiness to wander into oversteer if provoked. Then again, despite being as appalled as anyone at Tokyo Drift, we would never say we don’t enjoy a little smoky drama in the corners.

Raise Your Hand If You Want One!

Everyone who wanted to get a little sideways in a 2007 Gallardo Superleggera has already spoken, and the full lot of ’07s is already sold out at $220,300 apiece, a premium of $45,300 over the base Gallardo. If that seems too high, then you really don’t want to buy a Superleggera in Thailand, where it will cost you 25,416,000 baht, or roughly $760,000 in U.S. skins. But Bangkok is so much fun.

Lamborghini Diablo-Based Alar 777

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Jorge Antonio Fernandez Garcia is in the news again. The Argentinean sports-car lover who received special permission from Lamborghini in the 1990s to use the famous brand name will introduce a new model, the Alar 777, at a local show at the end of this month.

Garcia, who also uses the name Joan Ferci, introduced a highly modified Diablo in the late 1990s. Called the Coatl, it looked, er, special. Then came the Eros, and then silence.

For years Garcia/Ferci and Lamborghini Latinoamerica kept a low profile, but it seems they were still active.

Autoblog Argentina reports that the company will introduce its new Alar 777 at a Buenos Aires tuning show. It is yet again a modified Diablo, with outrageous styling and a V12 Lamborghini engine, tuned to 700 horsepower. Top speed is claimed to be 224 mph.

Lamborghini Spiga Concept

There have been a lot of body modifications for the Lamborghini Gallardo released, but none have been as sexy as the Spiga Concept. Created by Ugur Sahin, an automotive and industrial designer, the Spiga Concept has not been evaluated by Lamborghini, but perhaps it should be.

The Spiga is clearly based on the Lamborghini Gallardo, which the Author says “proved itself to be a top-notch design.”

The main characteristic of the car is that the rear and the middle flows in an harmonic way which kind of reminds the human muscles stretching to the back, as the front is slightly different than the rear, it also gives a sense of speed and movement forward when viewed form the side angles. The air intakes near the side windows are designed integrated on the body which also shows strong Lamborghini aspects.

Be sure and look at the rear of the car, which is one of its best modifications.

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera revealed!

PRESS RELEASE

Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy - With the Gallardo Superleggera, Automobili Lamborghini presents an uncompromisingly high-performance sports car. Thanks to increased power (an additional 10 hp) and a 100 kg reduction in weight (USA 70 kg), the new range-leading Gallardo Superleggera is even more dynamic than the already very sporty Gallardo. The weight/power ratio of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is only 2.5 kg/hp, which puts it unquestionably at the top.

The Superleggera also has the fastest acceleration in its class. It needs only 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph); 0.2 seconds less than the basic model, and boasting speed and grit under other driving conditions.
The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is an extremely high-performance car: it includes a standard robotized mechanical 'e-gear' gearbox that guarantees shifting without removing hands from the steering wheel. The new Gallardo Superleggera can be ordered through the dealer network starting March 2007: production volumes will be restricted to lower numbers than the standard Gallardo.

More power thanks to technological developments

The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera's engine is the latest version of Lamborghini's well-known 4,961 cm3 V10. Now 530 hp is reached in 8,000 min-1. The increase in power was made possible by the engine's improved volumetric efficiency through reduced intake load losses and by exhaust backpressures, together with optimized electronic control. Naturally, emission levels observe the strict EURO 4 and LEV II standards.

Higher power thanks to lighter construction

Lamborghini engineers decreased the Lamborghini Gallardo's already low weight when empty (1,430 kg) by another 100 kg using advanced materials and technologies. The engine hood is made of visible carbon fiber and transparent polycarbonate, a type of material that guarantees lightness and also shows off the magnificent V10. The rear diffuser and underbody covering, the rearview mirrors, door panels and the central tunnel's covering are also made of carbon fiber. Further reductions in weight were achieved by replacing certain glass surfaces with transparent polycarbonate. For the interior, monocoque carbon fiber sports seats covered in Alcantara® were chosen to ensure restraint of the driver and passenger during the intense lateral accelerations that the Gallardo Superleggera is capable of achieving around curves.

Exclusive specification and options range

A comprehensive specification and extensive range of options will be available, with some exclusive to the Superleggera. The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera comes with robotized mechanical e-gear as standard; a sports package including shock absorbers; and special suede-covered steering wheel. The car is available in four colors: Midas Yellow, Borealis Orange, Telesto Gray and Noctis Black. Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires (standard) on new Scorpius forged rims accentuate the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. A few of the options that can be requested include the multimedia system with navigator and CD-changer; a rear video camera to make parking easier (with optional rear wing only); a Carbon accessories kit for the interior; a fixed rear spoiler; a four-point seatbelt (not for USA); tubular rear frame or fitting points for later inclusion (not for USA, Japan or Middle East); and carbon-ceramic brakes.

Versace Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

The one-of-a-kind Versace Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster took center stage among a star-studded charity auction event in Beverly Hills. Celebrity actress Sharon Stone, using her feminine mystique, heated up the bidding process on the super car to surpass half a million dollars and charmed the winning bidder, Vik Keuylian of Lamborghini Orange County, on stage in front of 600 VIP guests. Keuylian walked away with Stone's lipstick imprint on his face -- a token of her appreciation for his generous donation. Proceeds from the auction benefited Elton John's AIDS Foundation.

"It is remarkable that the finest Italian clothing icon, Versace; the sexiest actress, Sharon; and
the champion of Italian super sports cars, Lamborghini; could collaborate together to generate a financial windfall for Elton John's medical research. We are glad we won the bid," Sossi Keuylian of Lamborghini Orange County (www.lamborghinioc.com ) affirmed.

Stone was attired in a sensuous black Versace evening dress with chain detail augmenting her plunging neckline. Stone's dramatic dress matched the sexy scintillating Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster.

"The Versace Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster is representative of the ultra-distinct, fast and sexy Italian super car. It is unique because it is the one-and-only Lamborghini made to the custom tailored impeccable specifications of high-fashion designer, Versace," Vik Keuylian went on to explain how the interior enhancements added great value to the Versace Murcielago LP640 Roadster.

In addition to celebrity hosts Donatella Versace, Elton John, and Sharon Stone, others who actively supported the cause were Guns N' Roses, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Eva Longoria, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Mischa Barton, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Cindy Crawford, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Drew Barrymore, Brooke Shields and Christina Ricci.

"It's incredible that all the celebrities compassionately came together to promote such a worthy cause. We are eager to do more celebrity charity events in the future," said Nora Keuylian, owner of Lamborghini Orange County. "Although this particular Lamborghini LP640 may be a collector's item, other Lamborghini models, the Gallardo and Murcielago are available for immediate delivery at our showroom in Orange County."

2007 IMSA Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

(from IMSA Press Release) Until recently, the German tuning company IMSA was not more than just an insider tip. But by now, it has achieved the ultimate breakthrough thanks to its first product, the Gallardo GTV. After all, the company from Bruggen treated the Gallardo’s power unit like nobody dared before. After this special treatment, the V10 power unit develops maximum output of 610 hp at 7900 rpm. In the near future, it will also be possible to experience this pleasure in an open car – since all GTV parts are now available for the Spyder as well.

Special emphasis was made on road capability.

In spite of the increased engine power and the high torque of 655 Nm at 5300 rpm, IMSA wanted the Gallardo to be suitable for everyday use; it had to offer the best possible driving fun even under bad weather conditions. Therefore, the four-wheel drive – amongst other things – was adjusted to the new
performance. Even during extreme driving manoeuvres, the Gallardo’s ne-tuned sport chassis offers great stability and driving control.

The necessary grip is provided by broad 245/30 ZR 20 front and 325/25 ZR20 rear tyres. IMSA’s focus was on muscular design and, thus, the Gallardo Spyder is equipped with new front and rear aprons and flared wheelarches as well as distinctive spoke wheels with central locking and a discreet rear spoiler. The interior is designed to meet any customer’s individual wishes: leather, alcantara, aluminium and CFRP are on offer to refine the Gallardo’s cockpit.

IMSA Gallardo Spyder – A true revelation

2007 IMSA Lamborghini Gallardo GTV

(from IMSA Press Release) IMSA Gallardo GTV
The breathtaking IMSA Gallardo’s visual attraction is unmistakable. Thanks to its progressive and intuitive technology, this extraordinary sports car also has fascinating inner values to its name.

Despite its state-of-the-art complexity, the midengine sports car’s technology is absolutely suitable for everyday use. For example, the exciting 5.0L V10 featuring more than 600hp and satisfying any desire for superior performance by means of a torque that will send cold shivers down your spine while promising astounding reserves. The performance-increased power train’s manufacturing and quality control is processed by high-end machines which are elsewhere applied for Formula 1 purposes only. Thereby, the standard product’s precision is further outdone. Any customer may watch the machines’ precise and filigree “dance” online. The 4WD system is laid out in a sporty fashion and will guarantee driving fun even in adverse weather conditions.

Without interfering with the original line, the body-kit conscious of tradition is harmonically absorbed by the body in order to make it complete. The IMSA’s design makes sportiness and exclusive appearance follow exactly the same line. The double-spoke rims featuring central locking do unconditionally obey this concept. The precisely adjustable sports chassis will be tuned according to the customer’s wishes. Brakes being provided with well thought-out safety reserves guarantee a deceleration with racing car qualities. Almost passionately, the eight and six piston callipers embrace the luxuriously dimensioned discs. The finest materials are to be found in the interior. Fragrant leather, comfy alcantara, high quality aluminium and CFRP come together in a haptic climax. – After comprehensive advisory, tailored to the customer’s wishes. – IMSA – Italian temperament and German engineering unified for the highest of qualities.

Lamborghini Spyder Makes Tracks With IMSA Tuning Kit

BRUGGEN, Germany — IMSA is a resonant name for American racing fans, but in this case it refers to a German tuning firm with no relation to the race series.

The company has just introduced a tuning package for the open-top Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, to match the package already available for the Gallardo.

The company, run by Holger Mohr, first introduced its Gallardo GTV package a year ago. Wider tracks, new alloy wheels, bigger brake discs and an exclusive interior with a mix of leather, aluminum and carbon-fiber trim were the highlights of the pack. And there was passing reference to a power hike to 600 horsepower.

The new treatment on the Gallardo Spyder is the same: an even wider body, huge 245/30ZR20 tires at the front and 325/25ZR20 tires at the back, front and rear aprons and spoilers, plus the same comfortable and striking interior. The engine makes 610 hp and is capable of 483 pound-feet of torque. Both the four-wheel-drive system and the suspension have been adjusted to cope with the increased power.
