This is the first Lamborghini Mustang we’ve ever seen although plenty of Ferrari and Lamborghini replicas are built in the US. The technical base of the car is a Gallardo, but with the bodywork of a 2007 Mustang. The strange looking car is called a Tractorri and has an intriguing mix of the Italian and the American.
The wheels and brakes are true to Italian roots, as is the V10 central-rear engine and overall supercar specs, but externally this is all American muscle car. Lamborghini purists won’t be impressed, but this Gallardo-Mustang is not just a one-off, with the possibility available to anyone who might be interested of turning their Gallardo into a Mustang.

These renderings show an interpretation of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 SuperVeloce, which rumours suggest might appear at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. This Gallardo SuperVeloce is based on the Gallardo Superleggera, and focuses on reduced weight, to improve vastly the power to weight ratio.
These renderings are based on the Murcielago SuperVeloce style, and show a large rear wing, carbon fibre roof and restyled front spoiler. If rumours prove true, and we see a new Lamborghini at Geneva, the Gallardo SuperVeloce could be on the road by summer this year.

Edo Competition has produced this LP600/4 tuning of the Lamborghini Gallardo, with 600 hp and 572 Nm of torque. With a new exhaust system, this Gallardo has an increase of 15 hp and the exhaust itself weighs 12 kg less than usual. Top speed is 340 km/hr, thanks to modifications to the front aerodynamics of the Gallardo, and the car can reach 100 km/hr in 3.5 seconds. Updated wheels measure 19 inches with 235/35 tyres at the front and 305/30 tyres at the rear.

The special edition Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni was dedicated to the veteran Lamborghini test driver, and here we see the man himself driving his car. This Gallardo is a rear wheel drive model, and it’s clear that Balboni loves this car - he can really drive.
German magazine Auto Bild has declared that the cabriolet/roadster sports car of the year for 2009 is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560/4 Spyder. The Gallardo was part of a number of sports cars, any one of which we would like to have, that was voted on by Auto Bild readers.
Winning in the cabriolet/roadster tuning section was the Gemballa Mirage GT Special Edition, while the Audi TT-RS and ABT AS5-R were the favourite coupe models voted, the latter representing the tuning category.
Here’s a look at a Lamborghini Gallardo Twin Turbo “Race Version” with 1500 hp. The Gallardo, nicknamed the TTG, has been created by Underground Racing and uses VP C16 racing fuel, helping to produce the 1500 wheel horse power figure mentioned. I’m not an engineer, but for those of you interested, the guys at WCF reckon there is about 1,875 hp at the crank.
Whatever the case, I get the impression this is a very fast (FAST!!) Gallardo. It has a six-speed transmission and can do a quarter mile in under ten seconds, running at more than 250 km/hr. This performance could be improved as it was the first time driving it for the customer, who hasn’t been to a drag strip in a long time.

German tuner IMSA has presented its new tuning kit for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. The body kit has been built from carbon fibre, the trim can be adjusted in eight different positions. The tuned-up Gallardo has a new electronics system and titanium exhaust, increasing power to 584 hp and torque to 560 Nm.
A widening of the wheel base was necessary to house the new alloy wheels, centrally mounted and measuring 9×20″ at the front, shod 245/30; and 12,5×20″ at the rear shod in 325/25. New interior features include monocoque carbon fibre seats, and plenty of further use of this material in the finishings.

The final race of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo (Blancpain) will take place this weekend from October 2-4 at the Paul Ricard track. The last round in Barcellona has left the championship open for any victory (as long as it’s Lamborghini).
A curiosity from the Super Trofeo series has been the presence of drivers Hervé and Cedric Leimer. The brothers are the only non-professional drivers in the series, having had a passion for Lamborghini since 1974 when their father René bought a 49 percent stake in the company from Lamborghini founder Ferruccio.
