The Lamborghini Gallardo gets a new body-kit from Cosa Design with a new front fascia, redesigned side sills, new rear bumpers and a huge aerodynamic rear wing. That wing at the back is not the only thing that makes the bum of this look very aggressive - there is also a dedicated diffuser and squared-off massive exhaust.

Cosa Design has used the Reventon as inspiration for the body panelling, but that’s not where this hard tuning effort stops. The mechanics get updated with the new exhaust taking power to 540 hp - an increase of 40. With torque at 550 Nm, the Gallardo Cosa Design has a top speed of 317 km/hr.

For those wanting to take things to the extra next level, there is also a set of new adjustable suspension and brakes with no less than eight pistons. Finally it’s shod with 20-inch wheels and AutoEvolution describes this as the best-looking Gallardo makeover ever. See for yourself in the gallery.

This video showing Lamborghini tuning from Japan is being lamented by the guys at Autoblog.it, as an example of what can happen the rules of a good tuning job aren’t followed. It’s true that a vehicle such as the Lamborghini Diablo or Murcielago has near-sacred status; which in Europe means that a tuning job is approached from a different point of view. We’d prefer not to describe these attempts as profane, because probably the Japanese have a different interpretation of how to pay homage to a Lamborghini. And it seems that homage is paid by personalising the car as much as possible - besides, it’s clear that they still love their Lambos, and who are we from the ‘old continent’ to judge?

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.
