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.
HRE Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale C99S is another supermachine tuned by the unstoppable HRE Performance Wheels team. This limited edition Super Trofeo Stradale is in fact one of the hundred and fifty examples produced.
Being a true Lamborghini it boasts stunning power-to-weight ratio of 2.35 kilograms per horsepower and has a breathtaking performance. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds and reaches 200 km/h just 10.4 seconds later. Its forward thrust finally tops out at 320 km/h.
Furthermore the supersports car is equipped with the powerful V10 powerplant, which generates 570 horsepower (420 kW) at 8000 RPM. The maximum torque is equally impressive, with the torque curve peaking at 540 Nm (400 lb-ft) at 6500 RPM.
The tuners have given this Rosso Mars Red beauty a set of their C99S with 19 inches front and 20 inches rear wheels. These include now updated designs creating the latest in lightweight technology for Motorsport and Street applications.
The car also features an aggressive rear diffuser, carbon composite rear aero spoiler and quick-release engine cover.
This Velos Designwerks Lamborghini Gallardo HRE P43SC is unique. But not only because of its one-of-a-kind Caelum Blue color, or because it is a true super sportscar, but also because it has been equipped with sparkling and matchless set of wheels.
The tuners gave this Lamborghini the opportunity to be brighter than ever, thanks to the new set of HRE P43SC in a unique Brushed with Satin clear finish.
The Gallardo draws its force from its 5.2L V10 engine. Due to the great amount of power the Lamborghini is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.4 seconds!
To be more precise the super sportscar is generating exactly 562 hp (419 kW) at 8,000 rpm, and has a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
ADV.1 Wheels Lamborghini Gallardo ADV10.0TS SL Gold Edition – under this long name stays a unique combination of a supercar and fascinating spoke design.
The vehicle under the tuning is the astonishing Lamborghini Gallardo, which is equipped with the 5.2L V10 engine. Due to the great amount of power the Lamborghini is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.4 seconds!
To be more precise the Gallardo is generating exactly 562 hp (419 kW) at 8,000 rpm, and has a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
For this project the ADV.1 Wheels have joined in partnership with Velos. The latter were the ones who wanted their Gallardo to become spicier.
What the ADV.1 has done is basically to pull out all the stops and build them a staggered 20″ ADV10.0 Track Spec SL setup. They applied their ADV10.0 new spoke design in this project.
The result is a beautiful combination of polished lips and a brushed bronze center spokes on the blue Gallardo. Don’t you think that this is one of the most refreshing combinations of colors lately?
Lamborghini has announced the new 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Gallardo LP550-2. Only 8 units will be produced specially for the Chinese market.

There are many benchmarks when talking about the automotive world – some products strike as the ultimate in art and aesthetics. Other excel in real-life (that life with the bends and curves) road performance. Then there are these which have the sole purpose to push the boundaries of what’s physically possible. The Bugatti Veyron is a prime example of that but what we have here, is proof that after-market tuners, like the guys from North Carolina: Underground Racing, also have a reserved place at the engineering hall of fame – it’s a twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Gallardo Nera doing 405 km/h on a push-to-the-limit run. Telemeters don’t lie.
Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardo Nera
Looking at the specs, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone – around 1700 bhp (1500 bhp effective). How? Slotting in two massive turbocharges of course. The Lambo’s naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 is an ideal host for some forced induction practices. Add some wheels (Hoosier R6A) which can bare the abuse, some explosive jungle juice for fuel and there you have it – 405 km/h and a lot of drama:
DMC Design has announced their tuning package for Lamborghini Gallardo. The project is called Toro and features both styling and performance upgrades.
The exterior comes with complete body kit made of carbon fiber. It includes a new carbon fiber front lip spoiler streches the Gallardo, makes it’s look more aggressive and supports downforce on the front axle. New carbon fiber side panels as well as added carbon fiber side diffusers make the car wider, more stable on the road, and add a salient aura. In addition, DMC added a new carbon fiber rear spoiler wing on the top, and a bigger carbon fiber rear diffuser on the bottom, both supporting improved aerodynamics of the car.
The tuned sports car roll enormous 9.5J x 20” front wheels and 13J x 20” at the rear axle fitted with performance tires.
Speaking for performance, DMC boosted the mighty 5.2 liter naturally aspirated V10 to 580HP (427 kW) and 575Nm (424 lb-ft) of torque. Additionally, a sports exhaust system is available adding another 20HP (15 kW). With the upgrade, the top speed is 330 km/h (205 mph).
Another great video with extremely fast street legal vehicles by Dragtimesinfo. In this clip you’ll see Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 LPE, Lamborghini Gallardo Twin Turbo UGR and Nissan GT-R Switzer R850.
The Lambo UGR makes two starts – first against the GT-R Switzer and second versus Corvette ZR1. The twin-turbo UGR has more than 1500HP, but because of the rainy surface, it has huge problems with traction. As you will see in the first start, it crosses the finish line with terminal speed of 339 km/h, which alarms for a lot of wheelspin.
In the second start the Gallardo is going against Corvette ZR1 Lingenfelter, which has half of Lambo’s power – 730HP. Obviously, it won’t be an interesting race, but everything happens on a drag race!
Since there seems to be a lot of fuss around Lamborghini at the moment, Vrosteiner have cunningly decided to make a reference of their own. They too send us back in time but the LM002-back-in-time-type. It’s a tuning program for the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera… sort of. More like wheels for it.
Yes, those two raging bulls down there in the gallery wear the latest shoes from Vorsteiner – 1-piece or 3-piece forged wheels codenamed respectfully VS-110 and VS-310. As if they have been made specifically for the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera with that aftermarket big brake clearances. They both boast a 5 twin spoke design can be custom painted or powder coated depending on customer choice. Functionally, these two series of wheels are supposed to minimize unsprung weight for improved vehicle performance.
That can only mean good news for the Superleggera variety of the Gallardo is already light enough – 1,420 kg. The power to propel that weight comes from a 5-liter V10 that produces 530 PS.
If adding only wheels seems a bit tasteless, Vorsteiner hint that by the end of Fall this year, they would have come up with lightweight pre-preg carbon fiber aerodynamics and performance accessories for the Gallardo as well.
SR and PUR Wheels have collaborated again and the result of their work is this exceptional Lamborghini Gallardo. In general this particular vehicle is extraordinary enough! However, with received new refreshed and revitalized look, thank to the 1NE design from PUR Wheels. And to make it even more astonishing and irresistible, the Lamborghini received full Hamann aero kit tuning. And this is how one can make a Lamborghini extremely more adorable and desirable. Now, this Gallardo is a styling icon from head to toe just in time for the forthcoming months of the so long awaited summer. All in all, with the top down, and a new set of “shoes” that it just received, this SR Auto Lamborghini Gallardo Pure 1ne is ready to shine in the sun throughout the streets of any city.
2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder combines the convertible body style with rear-wheel-drive for ultimate fun.
“With the Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder, we are expanding the Lamborghini lineup with a purist model that adds yet another dimension of driving fun. This will appeal in particular to a very special group of customers that enjoy a spirited driving style and also like to experience the sheer pleasure of open-air driving,” commented Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
“This special model with rear-wheel drive is a logical expansion of our lineup of spyder models with all-wheel drive.”, he added.
The 2012 Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 with 550PS (405 kW) and 540Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque, which means 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 319 km/h (198 mph). The soft-top of the Gallardo Spyder is designed for unlimited top-speed enjoyment both open and closed.
Thanks to systematic Lamborghini lightweight design and an extremely low dry weight of just 1 520 kg, phenomenal performance is guaranteed.
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., is presenting at the Volkswagen Group Night in Frankfurt the most extreme Gallardo ever: the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. Automobili Lamborghini is bringing motor racing excitement directly to the road. This new and most extreme top model in the Gallardo lineup is based on the successful race car from the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, the world’s fastest singlemake series.
The car will be produced in a limited run of 150 numbered units.
The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo championship brings professional racers and gentlemen drivers face-to-face in fiercely fought battles on Europe’s most challenging racetracks such as Monza, Silverstone and Hockenheim. There are many similarities between the racing and road versions of this super sports car. For example, they both share the same V10 powerplant, which is used in the racing version with no modifications.
An enormous and manually variable rear spoiler for increased dynamic load
Right from first glance, these similarities are even more evident in the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. In fact, it is equipped with the same rear spoiler that offers greater aerodynamic load – reaching in the best aerodynamic condition 3 times the load of the Gallardo LP 560-4 – for increased dynamic stability during tight, high-speed driving. As in the race cars, the rear spoiler can be varied manually in order to let the driver optimize the car’s performance according to the track or road characteristics.
2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale
Another element taken directly from the racing version is the removable engine hood with quick-release system. Both the spoiler and the hood are of course made of carbon composite material, as are a host of other components on the SuperTrofeo Stradale. Together with aluminum, carbon fiber is the basis behind the extremely lightweight construction of Gallardo’s new top model.
Lightweight construction through consistent use of carbon fiber
The Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale boasts a maximum dry weight of 1340 kilograms. It beats the already lean Gallardo LP 560-4 by 70 kilograms, which gives the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale a stunning power-toweight ratio of 2.35 kilograms per HP for breathtaking performance. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds and reaches 200 km/h just 10.4 seconds later. Its forward thrust finally tops out at 320 Km/h.
“Rosso Mars” stands for Italy’s racing tradition
The Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale sports a brand new “Rosso Mars” finish that underscores the special connection between ultimate race track performance and Lamborghini’s “Italianness”. The “Rosso Mars” color symbolizes Italy’s traditional racing red, as established at the beginning of last century in motor racing, when the home nations of the competitors were indicated by the color of the paint on the vehicles. Dark green stood for Great Britain, blue was for France, white (and silver later on) represented Germany, white and blu stripes for USA, and red was the color of all race cars from Italy.
Red, black and carbon fiber characterize the exterior
The exterior appearance of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale is perfectly accentuated by a matte black finish on the large rear spoiler, the engine hood and the front air intakes, which contrasts with the “Rosso Mars” paint. The forged wheels are painted in high-gloss black, a color that is also available on the roof as an option. The rocker panel covers, impressive rear diffuser and outside mirror housings are made of carbon fiber polished to a high gloss, while the brake calipers are accented in red for the first time on a Lamborghini. It’s a perfect match with the exterior color and racing concept of this new super sports car. And besides the historically suggestive “Rosso Mars”, the new Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale is also available upon request in “Grigio Telesto” or “Bianco Monocerus” with the roof available in gloss black as an option, as mentioned above.
Minimalist sporty interior
Black and red, the perfect combination of sporty minimalism, are the dominant shades inside the Super Trofeo Stradale. The most broadly used materials are Alcantara – in “Rosso Mars” on the underside of the dashboard, the central part of the seat cushion and the backrest – and extremely lightweight carbon fiber. Black Alcantara with contrasting red top-stitching is used to finish the other parts of the interior. The steering wheel is upholstered in black suede and also features red top-stitching. The door panels, the monocoque racing seats and the center console cover are made of carbon fiber, the construction of which
Lamborghini has achieved a world-leading expertise. Discreet sporty accents are provided by dark chrome visible metal parts.
Upon request, an interior layout including elements made of carbon fiber, such as the handbrake frame, the middle of the center console, the lower rim of the steering wheel, the decorative frames around the main and secondary instrument panels, the door handles, and the handle for opening the glove box (also available upon request), can be ordered.
Phenomenal powerplant
Like the Super Trofeo competition version, the new Super Trofeo Stradale is based on the Gallardo Superleggera technical approach. The V10 powerplant generates 570 HP, equivalent to 419 kW, which is fully available at 8000 RPM. The maximum torque is equally impressive, with the torque curve peaking at 540 Nm at 6500 RPM. The V10’s unique firing order delivers the striking sound you hear in motor racing.
Transmission “race tested” in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo championship series
Like the race car, the Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale offers the robotized egear six-speed transmission controlled by steering wheel paddles as standard equipment. This electronically controlled system shifts through its six gears smoothly and much faster than any human being could. And for maximum acceleration from a standing start, the transmission can be set to the “Thrust Mode” – a program that allows to reach the best performance possible executing a racing start with minimal tire slippage at an initial engine speed of approximately 5000 rpm.
Permanent all-wheel drive for maximum traction in any situation
Every kilometer in the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale is packed with sheer excitement, in part due to its unrelenting grip in virtually all situations thanks to all-wheel drive. At the end of the day, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo is the only single-brand racing series in the world that features all-wheel drive race cars. The Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale is a highly concentrated driving machine offering a truly stunning driving experience with breathtaking cornering speeds and fast, immediate response. Its road manners are always precise, stable and completely safe.
Suspension with unmatched precision
The layout of the suspension is directly derived from motor racing, with a double aluminum wishbone guiding the wheels. Precise rack-and-pinion
steering gives the driver a very close connection to the road. As is true for the Gallardo Superleggera, the vehicle is specially set up to take full advantage of its dynamic potential. No other model in the Gallardo line is as close to being a true race car. Another great feature is the ultra-lightweight 19-inch wheels, which alone save some 13 kilograms. The lightweight and sturdy wheel bearings and bolts are made from titanium and high performance Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires are fitted.
Brakes with unmatched stopping power
Behind the massive wheels are brakes designed for unmatched stopping power, as controlled by the ESP stability control system, which is standard equipment. The front axle is equipped with aluminum calipers with eight pistons each, and the calipers on the rear axle have four pistons each. The ventilated discs on the front and rear measure 365 and 356 millimeters, respectively. Upon request, Lamborghini will install a carbon-ceramic brake system. The carbon-ceramic discs measure 380 mm for the front wheels and 356 mm for the rear wheels.
Racing-type options
The optional equipment designed with racing in mind includes not only the carbon-fiber ceramic brake discs, but also a tubular interior roll cage, 4-point safety belts and fire extinguisher. On the other hand, those who want comfort can equip their Super Trofeo Stradale with a satellite navigation, with Bluetooth connection for mobile phones, an anti-theft system, and a lifting system that raises the front axle.
