RENM Performance Lamborghini Gallardo STS-700

RENM Performance has presented their latest project based on Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale. The already exceptional sports car is now even better. The name of the project is STS-700 and you may suggest why?

The 5.2 liter V10 engine is boosted to 700HP (515 kW) at 8,500RPM, but no words about the torque, which is probably around 650Nm. The result is thanks to titanium connecting rods, larger titanium inlet, custom billet camshafts, exhaust ports, exhaust valves, custom billet pistons and crankshaft. There is also a valve-controlled titanium exhaust system which is 63% lighter. According to performance, the STS-700 is sensational – 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph) – this is 0.2 seconds quicker and 10 km/h, more.

The sports car also comes with complete carbon fiber body kit, which reduces the total weight and increases the downforce and airflow. It also provides better cooling for the engine and brakes, which are modified, too. The chassis and the suspension are improved by installing Ohlins three-way fully adjustable dampers, wider wheel tracks, adjustable front anti-roll bar and whisbone suspension links. The carbon-ceramic brake kit provides super stopping power.

Last, but not least, the interior comes with Alcantara-wrapped lightweight sport seats, modified gear shifters, customized roll cage with four-point harness, fire extinguisher and seat belts.

“The STS-700 accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed over 330 km/h”, commented Neil Meka, CEO, RENM performance.

“However, improved driving dynamics and track performance are the main advantages. Significant reductions in lap times were recorded throughout the vehicle’s development.”, he finished.

· Aerodynamic carbon fiber body kit;

· Increased engine output to 700 PS;

· Valve-controlled titanium exhaust system;

· Chassis and suspension improvements;

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 and LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica Unveiled in Paris

Lamborghini just showcased two incredible new models at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The new super sportscars have the inherent aggressive design of the brand and in addition are even more extreme.

The first model which was showcased was the Gallardo LP 560-4 with its new unique design and razor-sharp lines. As mentioned, there’s a new front end, characterized by triangular and trapezoidal forms. They are divided by diagonal elements in body color and in black. This means basically that the overall look of the front end is now broader and more powerful.

And in order to complete the new look of the Gallardo, the designers decided to equip the car with larger air intakes ahead of the front wheels and the new 19-inch “Apollo polished” alloy wheels. The latter were painted in matt black and include precision-machined spokes in polished silver.

Another new detail here is the more dynamic rear end design. The air outlet for the power unit has now a wider surface area. This in fact enhances its thermodynamic efficiency. In addition a new Style Package is available as an option and offers high-gloss black paintwork on the underside of the front spoiler, front and rear grilles and the transverse element of the rear trim.

The next model showcased in Paris is the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica which has more determined lightweight design. Being originally LP 570-4 Superleggera and LP 570-4 Spyder Performante, now as Edizione Tecnica, they benefit from a further enhanced equipment level and an even more personalized look.

Part of the equipment of the Edizione Tecnica includes the fixed high rear wing, brakes in carbon-ceramic technology. Both deliver low weight with outstanding fade resistance and durability.

Furthermore, this version is offered in three new exclusive optional color combinations, whereby the entire roof arch and front air intakes are painted in a contrast color. The available shades here are: Nero Nemesis (matt black) body with Arancio Argos (orange) pillars and front air intakes, Bianco Canopus (matt white) body with Arancio Argos pillars and front air intakes, and Arancio Argos body with Nero Nemesis pillars and front air intakes.

Another interesting and important fact to be mentioned is that all of the presented Gallardo models can be customized optionally with the exclusive and well known: “Ad Personam” Lamborghini program. The new Gallardo models are going to be first seen in showrooms starting November 2012.

Dallas Performance Lamborghini Gallardo

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 is simply astonishing vehicle. Superfast, super aggressive and awesome to drive and to look at, but obviously for some people this is not enough. That’s why Dallas Performance boosted the sports car to whopping 1200WHP (wheel-horse-power), which is more than 1500HP (engine horsepower).

Actually, this is Stage 2, which includes a complete twin-turbo system with forged engine internal parts. The tuning company previously has introduced Stage 1, which achieved 650WHP (485 kW) with regular 93 octane fuel and more than 800WHP (597 kW) with special VP C16 race fuel.

Stage 2 is a lot money, but for such power you have to pay a lot… and “a lot” means $65k for the models between 2004 and 2008 and $68k for those from 2009.

Originally, the Gallardo runs 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, to 200 km/h in 11.8 seconds and has a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). There is no such data for the highly tuned Stage 2 of DP, but probably the times are cut in half or more.

Check out the pictures below!
