2008 Lamborghini Estoque Concept

A Lamborghini like no other around: a four-door sports car that sticks solemnly to its creed. The Lamborghini Estoque concept has everything that is specified to be one: extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian, it can bring a whole new versatility to the brand’s DNA – with its four seats and ample luggage space.

The Lamborghini Estoque is a study, a concept created for the 2008 Salon Automobiles in Paris. The Lamborghini has established its throne in a new catergory of super sports sedans. Equipped with a powerful front mid-engine, permanent all-wheel drive and a sophisticated, precision-tuned chassis, the Lamborghini Estoque boasts its unique technology package.

The front end of a Lamborghini Estoque is a clear and unambiguous statement of its sports car credentials. Its place among the line of Lamborghini super sports cars is distinct and unquestionable – seen with its swooping V-shape, its two large air intakes pulled forward and in between.

Edo Competition Gallardo Superleggera

This newly designed Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera has also added a famous Italian racer to its tuning program after their other model Murciélago LP 640. The most amazing feature is the acceleration. All the items raise the power to 560 hp (411 kW) at 8,250 rpm.

The power gets raised by 30 hp / 22 kW boosts the top speed by about 6 km/h (4 mph) to 320 km/h (199 mph). The 2008 Edo Competition Gallardo Superleggera can reach 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and achieving top speeds of 199 mph which is blazing fast.

The sound volume on the exhaust system has been checked by a remote. Equipped with a 19” inch three-piece racing wheels, it dishes out hand polished wheels by their workers.

The answer to recycling, Edo lets its customers reuse their factory tires for their brand new wheels. I would like to see this car grow to be a powerhouse in the markets.

Lamborghini Alar 777 Exotic Car

lamburghini-alar-777.jpg

To everybody’s surprise, the newest Lamborghini comes from Argentina. ALAR is the name and it has as base the old version of Diablo V12. The official distributor of the Lamborghini brand in Argentina could create his own line of models, using the Italian brand. Apparently an Argentinean by the name of Joan Ferci has somehow acquired exclusive rights to build custom Lamborghinis that retain the Italian marque’s historic name and feature an official badge of the raging bull on the front end.
He’s created a pair of models in the past called the Coatl and the Eros GT-1, both based off of the Diablo. The Alar 777 will be the third model produced off of the Diablo platform and debut on March 30th in Buenos Aires. The car will produce over 700 horsepower from the Diablo’s V12 motor and reached a claimed top speed of 223 mph.Lamborghini Alar 777 does not seem to be among the favorites of the specialists with too much posing and too extreme, it represents the old Lamborghini style, the old school, by all means.
Indeed, the car seems to looks like something we would get from Too Fast Too Furious or perhaps Need For Speed Underground, which may seem to the Loyal Lamborghini fans a little less appealing. But thinking at the fact that we are talking about the Diablo V12 motor, we can still state that this is still a pretty cool car after all.

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

Thin Bull Lambo have announced a lighter version of model Gallardo that is to make its debut at Geneva. Called “Superleggera”, this model is a replica given preventive to those rumours about a possible Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale.The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera comes with robotized mechanical e-gear as standard, a sports package including shock absorbers and special suede-covered steering wheel. Available colours: Midas Yellow, Borealis Orange, Telesto Gray and Noctis Black. Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires (standard) on new Scorpius forged rims accentuate the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera.

Excitement at high level and maximum driving pleasure are provided thanks to 10 additional horsepower and a 154 lbs weight reduction, the new range-leading Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera.
It needs only 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 62 mph; 0.2 seconds less than the basic model, and boasting speed and grit under other driving conditions which brings it to first position in its class.
The already low weight (when empty) has been decreased by Lamborghini engineers, by another 100 kg. This task was accomplished by using advanced materials and technologies. The engine hood is made of visible carbon fibre and transparent polycarbonate, a type of material that guarantees lightness and also shows off the magnificent V10. The rear diffuser and underbody covering, the rear-view mirrors, door panels and the central tunnel’s covering are also made of carbon fibre. Further reductions in weight were achieved by replacing certain glass surfaces with transparent polycarbonate. For the interior, monocoque carbon fibre sports seats covered in Alcantara were chosen to ensure restraint of the driver and passenger during the intense lateral accelerations that the Gallardo Superleggera is capable of achieving around curves.
Those with a “fat” bank account will be able to order the new Gallardo starting with March 2007, but the production volume will be smaller than the standard Gallardo model.
