Lamborghini has announced the new 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Gallardo LP550-2. Only 8 units will be produced specially for the Chinese market. The anniversary pays tribute to Kingsway Cars Ltd., the first official Lamborghini dealer established in 1992 to provide comprehensive presale and post-sale service to all customers in Hong Kong.
Gallardo LP550-2 is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 with 550PS (405 kW) and 540Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 319 km/h (198 mph).
Thanks to systematic Lamborghini lightweight design and an extremely low dry weight of just 1 520 kg, supreme performance is guaranteed.
The LP550-2 is distinguished by a solid white exterior finish (Bianco Monocerus) with matt gold strips running from its front bonnet to the roof and down the engine cover.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Hong Kong 20th Anniversary Edition is priced from HK$ (Hong Kong Dollar) 3 680 000.

Lamborghini Aventador is really an exceptional car. It comes with brutal 6.5 liter V12 delivering 700PS (515 kW) and 690Nm (509 lb-ft). It is mated to a 7-speed ISR gearbox specially supplied by Graziano Trasmissioni Group, which shifts in just 50 milliseconds, which guarantees perfect performance.
The kerb weight is just 1575 kg (3 472 lbs), thanks to a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) monocoque structure with total weight of only 147.5 kg.
To make it even better, RENM performance has created a full optic package for the staggering Aventador.
“We wanted to retain the original design lines while enhancing and making improvements across the entire platform. Some aspects of the design were influenced by the Aventador J concept, but only those sections we considered were improvements. For instance, the upper rear grille is similar to the J concept, although the lower rear section is a total redesign.”, commented from the tuning studio.
The design specifications were also developed in consultation with Aventador owners scheduled for the LE-C upgrade.
Replacement body parts are made from light-weight carbon fiber composites that provide significant weight savings. The interior also blends alcantara and carbon fiber elements. Both standard and light-weight race seats are upholstered in alcantara with LE-C inscription.

LE-C program include:
• Extensively redesigned aerodynamic carbon fiber body sections with electronically operated rear wing;
• Road and race specification valve-controlled inconel and titanium exhaust systems, re-designed air intake chambers, ECU recalibration resulting in a 9-11% increase in engine output;
• Individual suspension, chassis adjustments and modifications, with adjustable vehicle ride height;
Lamborghini are celebrating their 45th year in Japan by launching a rather limited number of only 10 specially designed Gallardo LP560-4s. They will be cleverly named Bianco Rosso which basically means white and red.
A predominantly white car with elements such as the engine lid, side mirrors and brake calipers which are all red. A specially designed interior is also a part of the festive program and incorporates lots of red leather.
No words on any power enhancements so we’ll have to assume that the white and red Lamborghini Gallardo stays true to it’s name and develops 560 bhp from it’s 5.2-liter V10 engine. That’s enough power to do the 0-60 mph run in no more than 3.7 seconds. Also the “4” at the back of it’s name means that it’s AWD so no Balboni action for Japan.
Here is a nice battle between two ”jet fighters” – Lamborghini Aventador vs F-16 Fighting Falcon. Of course, the first one only looks like an airplane, but the second is a real fighting machine.
The Aventador is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 with 700PS (515 kW) and 690Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). The engine is mated to an Indipendent Shifting Rod (ISR), which is able to shift in just 50 milliseconds. It sends all the torque to a permanent AWD.
The kerb weight of the vehicle is 1575 kg (3472 lbs).
The F-16 Fighting Falcon has is powered by a F110-GE-100 afterburning turbofan with maximal power of 127kN (28 600 lb-ft). The jet fighter has a top speed of 2410 km/h (1500 mph).
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:
Underground Racing are famous with their twin-turbocharged Gallardos, but now it is turn to the new monstrous Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.
The company Racing began development as soon as the Aventador was released. The tuning studio offers only performance package, because the Aventador is a true luxurious hyper car, which has everything needed – suspension, brakes and sporty interior.
“For now, the UR TT Aventadors will only be released with FULL engine builds. Through our research, we have found certain conditions that make this a requirement.”, stated Underground Racing.
The twin-turbo Aventador accelerates 0-60 mph in 2.2 seconds. It has more than 1200HP on the wheels, meaning over 1500HP engine power.
Underground Racing also improved the shifting speed with their Quickshift upgrade.
Heffner Performance Twin Turbo Lamborghini LP-560 is the outstanding result of a project which started two months ago in the design lab of the Heffner Performance. Back then Jason Heffner received the request to do something exceptional with the performance of the already great Lamborghini Gallardo LP-560 Verde Ithaca.
The 560 horsepower weren’t enough, so the Heffner decided to modify this vehicle in terms of aesthetics, power and drivability characteristics. The transformation began, and its first phase included a work on entirely new turbo system with a certain goal in mind. The details of the new system were planned carefully, in order to give it an OEM quality appearance, fit, finish and technical superiority.
The second phase included a number of cosmetic changes. Of course, having a unique system makes it almost obligatory to have a unique appearance as well.
httpv://youtu.be/y3szXVy2pP8
The first phase began and what the mechanics did at first was to get the car on the dyno to get some baseline power figures. All factory elements that weren’t needed anymore were removed and this made it ready for its one-of-a-kind turbo system.
The team put a lot of attention on the location of the components. They wanted to keep the hot parts away from the cold parts. In addition, they kept the intercooler away from the exhaust, and wanted the air inlet plumbing to be able to take in fresh, cool air.
The overall function and expandability of the system was the next point of the work of Heffner Performance team. They have selected tubing diameters, intercooler core and turbochargers that would function very well at the bolt on level.
Heffner Performance Twin Turbo Lamborghini LP-560
Next, the appearance of the completed system was made like it has always been in the car – in other words – appearance of a factory installed system.
The modification of the LP560’s new system included Bosch electronics and direct injection. The first ones have full time, active wide band oxygen sensors, full time, active knock control as well as a number of other important safety features.
This basically means that if the fuel you use for the car has a low quality, the knock sensors will detect the detonation and remove the necessary amount of ignition timing to prevent from damaging the engine. The wide band oxygen sensors constantly monitor the air / fuel ratio and based on their readings the engine controller immediately compensate for any changes in fueling requirements.
Then, if the engine controller can not compensate for some reason, it will close the throttle bodies and trigger a fault code to direct you in the area of the issue. Here, the retention of the direct injection, especially in a bolt on configuration, is essential for the prevention of detonation.
Next, the direct injection system introduces fuel into the combustion chamber before the ignition. The purpose of this is that it almost makes it impossible to detonate the engine. In addition, if the fuel in the engine is not enough for the preignition to happen, it again makes it hard to create detonation.
Heffner located the exhaust tips at first. A pair of custom billet wheeled ball bearing turbos were next provided in order to support the expected 1400 whp. The specialists have chosen 3.5″ tubing for the downpipe, and then located the air inlet plumbing next.
As a result the completed downpipe is very clean, unrestrictive piece. What happened next is the plumbing in a pair of TIAL 44mm MVR wastegates. The exhaust flowed out of the mid pipe and back into the downpipe smoothly, which was made for very predictable boost control.
Next, they fabricated the intercooler and an air discharge end tank which will not restrict the air charge and will compliment the factory intake manifold nicely. Then the air inlet end tank and air charge pipes were also fabricated.
Jet Hot provided the hot side with a 2000 degree black ceramic coating. On the other hand the cold side piping received a black wrinkle finish. The latter one resembles a factory finish on the intake manifold.
Heffner Performance Twin Turbo Lamborghini LP-560
At last, they made a billet cover for the intercooler with Heffner’s logo and raised the lines to give a look that is similar to “rolled out of the factory” one. The end result can be summed up in the following numbers:
Rest assured, the future is green. In fact, here’s some of it right now – a Laborghini Gallardo Superleggera. To the unsuspecting, yet adept eye, it’s an LP570-4. That indicates that it has 570 hp and an AWD layout. The thing is, Wheelsandmore have been working on it but it’s all very subtle. One of the most daring alternations made here is the name change – The Lamborghni Gallardo LP620-4 “Green Beret”.
That’s right. 620 hp for this one. What they have done to do that is remap the Gallardo’s 5.2-liter V10 engine, add some space-age air filters and an exhaust system which, as a bonus, has a remote controlled valve for a spectacle of sound. The end result stands at 50 hp more than usual ans 50 Nm of torque as well.
As for wheels, the Green Beret Lamborghini has been let loose with a size 9.0 x 20 (front) and 11.0 x 20 (back) 6Spotrz² , three-piece, forged rims. In turn, they have been properly treated with a set of 245/30/20 and 295/25/20 Continental Sport Contact tires. A stylish line goes on the edge of the rims as a complement to the body paint.
Not that it needs much correction, but the stance has also been revised. Thanks to a special coilover suspension with adjustable levels of rebound and compression, the “LP620-4” can now leap over speed bumps or scrape off the tarmac from the road.
That pretty much wraps it up – no aerodynamic kits, no gills, no wings. It’s subtle, clean and has nothing to prove. Still, don’t try to intimidate it in between the traffic lights.
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).
Wheelsandmore has announced their tuning program for Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. They offer several sets of ultra-light alloy wheels fitted with low-profile Pirelli performance tires, sports exhaust system and ECU re-maps – Stage I and Stage II.
The first set of wheels is 6 Sporz² ultralight forged rims Front – 9.5J x 20″ with tyres 255/30/20 Pirelli and Rear -12.5J x 21″ with tyres 355/25/21 Pirelli. The price is 11345 EURO. Wheels can be personalized with carbonlook surface, swarovski elements, 24 k gold plated and more.
The sports exhaust system is handcrafted and features remote-able valve flaps with milled and plasma coated special endtip – 5882 EURO.
The Ecu power upgrade can boost the mighty V12 to 730HP and 730Nm – Stage I or 777HP and 760Nm for Stage II, which includes – Software upgrade, exhaustsystem with remote-able valve flaps and carbon-airbox. Stage I is priced at 3900 Euro and the Stage II costs 14808 Euro.
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!
2012 SR Lamborghini Aventador “Project Supremacy” is the latest project of the work of collaboration between SR Auto Group and PUR Wheels. Both companies have combined to join forces and make the already perfect Aventador into even more supreme.
The Aventador is so outstanding in terms of power that you can’t even imagine. The production model is able to produce 700 hp (515 kW) thank to its 6.5 liter V12 engine.
The performance of the supersports car is estimated only 2.9 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h! Can you even imagine this?! The top speed here is around 349 km/h (217 mph).
Nevertheless, with the great power comes greater fuel consumption as well. For this model it is estimated around 17 l/100 km (17 mpg-imp).
Furthermore, this Lamborghini has a single-clutch seven speed semi-automatic transmission which is able to accomplish gear-shift in only 50 milliseconds.
And here comes the SR Auto Group and PUR Wheels contribution to this amazing car. This exclusive project includes is fitted to perfection with a 20/21inch wheels setup. As you can see they include dramatic and modern matte-black face and the beautifully captivating, Rose Gold Lip.
