[Video] Lamborghini Gallardo Turned Into Rally Car

About a month ago we, we're showing you this nut job taking a rare Ferrari Enzo out for a dirt road spin, basically using the supercar as a WRC rally car.

While the clip has a high degree of awesome to it, such crazy driving could do a lot of damage to a track, purpose-built car worth at least $1.5 million. We never found out more about that, but it appears that if a Ferrari Enzo can handle a rough ride, so should a car made by rivals Lamborghini.

Putting a raging bull at work on a muddy road is not that easy, but the fellow in the clip below managed to put on quite a show, although he forest drifting scene looks a bit painful for the Gallardo.

Apparently, this won't be the only dirt rally video the car has starred in, as the the Youtube user that posted it promises two more "stages" really soon.

Guess it's about time WRC creates an upper supercar category for some Koenigsegg CCX and Bugatti Veyron action?

Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera by Wheels Boutique on ADV.1 Wheels

In what can only be described as the one of the most extreme Lamborghini Gallardo twin-turbocharged builds we’ve ever laid eyes on, ADV.1 wheels and Wheels Boutique recently completed work on the following matte black example by fitting it with a pair of the wheel manufacturer’s ADV05.1 SL lightweight wheels measuring 20×9.0 front, and 20×12.0 at the rear.

This particular Gallardo is finished in matte black as are the wheels, and features a twin-turbo kit possibly producing over 1000hp, although no official technical specifications have been released about this car.

The Gallardo also features the front bumper from the LP560-4, the Superleggera stripe along the side of the car from the LP570-4 Superleggera as well as a customised version of the rear wing fitted to the range topping Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale featuring green accents.

On the inside, the car features complete carbon fiber racing seats with literally no cushioning and while this may seem like a crazy decision by the owner, we can only presume it’d be easy to overlook the seats when trying to complete the ultimate Gallardo build.

DMC is a German tuning that usually makes carbon fiber parts for exotic Italian supercars. Recently, they’ve focused their attention on the Lamborghini Gallardo with the result being the Toro body kit. Now, they have taken things further, by launching an aftermarket spoiler that looks just like that on the SuperVeloce.

The Germany tuner was approached by a Chinese owner who wanted the apparel of the LP67-4 SV on the LP560-4 Gallardo and they were only too pleased to make one. Now that they have the capacity to make it, you too can have carbon fiber goodness installed on the back of your LP520 or LP560.

Gallardo Twin-Turbo Hits 401 KM/H in Russia

We offer out congratulation to the owner of this Underground Racing, twin-turbo Lamborghini Gallardo, which has broken all records of the Moscow Mile.

With a 23-second standing mile and maxing out at 405 kilometers per hour (251 mph), nobody messes with the thousand horsepower V10 supercar that has been embedded with American tuning muscle.

Dima Samorukov is the driver and owner of the Underground Racing Stage 1 Race version. This is proof that Underground Racing makes some of the fastest tuned cars in the world, and since tens of Gallardos exist in this setup, it’s also proof that the conversion is reliable.

The car was putting out about 1500 horsepower at the wheels, which translates to 1700 or 1800 hp at the engine, an insane amount and more than triple what Lamborghini wanted it to have.

Lamborghini: Meaning of Superleggera

You don't even need to take a close look at the adjacent photo to see the it shows a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera sitting on four coups of tea! We can only approve this - Superleggera means super light in Italian, so this is the feather-like Gallardo's cup of tea.

No, there is no trick - the photo is real and the car was actually sitting on those cups. It was all a publicity stunt broguht to the world back in 2008 so that William Ashley China of Toronto could prove just how strong its products are.

We were wondering... could they porcelain-plate our office parking lot floor so we could slide in easier in the morning?

Heffener Twin Turbo Gallardo Build

You might think that Underground Racing have cornered the market on twin-turbo Gallardos since they’ve build tens of them already, but that’s not you’re only option for forced induction Italian bulls. Heffner Performance also has experience with this hardcore tuning job, and now they’ve detailed an LP560 build for an owner called Joe Z.

The tuner explains that Joe picked up this Verde Ithaca LP560 with the intention of leaving it alone. But as you already know love does not last forever, and so the car was sent to the Florida shop.

The two turbos were supplied by TIAL and proved well up to the job after they were fitted with 3.5-inch tubing for the downpipe that linked them.

The car will put up 963 hp at the engine and 818 at the wheels on 92 octane fuel, and will crank out 1034 at the engine on 100 octane fuel.

Lamborghini LP570-4 Spyder Performante Wrecked in Houston

Another wrecked exotic to report this afternoon. This time, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante was wrecked on Westheimer Road, Houston. The Lamborghini was the only vehicle involved in the accident which happened at around 9pm last night. Houston Police Department revealed that one person, presumably the passenger, had to be removed from the wreck and was admitted to hospital. Her injuries are unknown.

Fox News reports that the cause of the accident is most likely to be speed. A witness reports seeing the car travel around a corner at a high rate of speed before (presumably) hitting something which caused the car to flip. A group of pedestrians were able to flip the car back over and put out a fire that had been caused by the accident.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante is a special edition Lamborghini Gallardo. It’s essentially an open-top Gallardo Superleggera, it gets the same 5.2 liter V10, tuned to produce 570hp, four-wheel drive and a significant weight reduction over the standard Gallardo Spyder. 

It’s sad times for supercar owners as we’ve already had to report on the demise of an Aston Martin One-77, Gallardo LP550-2 Balboni and a Ferrari FF over the past couple of days.

Update: A witness confirms that the Performante was racing with another Lamborghini at the time of the accident. The driver and passenger were both female, as was the driver of the second Lamborghini. The passenger complained about her neck hurting but she was able to move her arms and legs as well as have a conversation, thankfully. Thanks to Jon for the extra information!

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale Launch Control

The Lamborghini Gallardo can be compared to a diamond without this being a cliche or some not true metaphor that refers to picking up women. It’s actually simple: the number of special editions for Lambo’s V10 supercar matches that of the faces of a diamond.

The latest incarnation of the supercar is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. To put it simply, this wraps 570 all-wheel drive HP into a carbon fiber armor. All this with a shade of red that makes you fall in love with the vehicle at first sight.

One of the many assets brought by the LP570-4 SuperTrofeo Stradale is a sweet launch control function, which will be demonstrated in the adjacent video. The clip, which comes from Youtube member 4WheelsOfLux, shows an example of the supercar performing such a stunt on a rather dusty road in Dubai, with the electronics coping well with the less than perfect surface.

PS: The rear bias of the vehicle's AWD system is so sexy!

Matte Black Twin Turbo Gallardo on HRE Wheels

 

Underground Racing has build a dozen or so of the most insane Gallardos on the planet, cars with two turbo that combined with the factory fitted V10 engine deliver over 1000 horsepower and the best straight line performance on the planet.

This 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 twin turbo monster is dubbed “Peak” and besides the matte black paintjob, it also features another custom exterior fitting - a set of HRE wheels to deliver that insane power to the road.

This is the sort of car that will get people to turn their heads as they go along. The matte black finish makes it worthy of the Batman films, and in fact we’re wondering why this car isn’t in Chris Nolan’s latest creation.

But for pure street cred, nothing is better than a twin turbo Gallardo with matte paint and CF43 Carbon HRE Performance Wheels. Not even gold plated guns.
