Aftermarket Lamborghini Gallardo Tuning Optionsby Braxton Herring 5/13/2012 The stock Gallardo is capable of staggering 0- 60 mph acceleration times that range from 4.3 seconds with the 2006-2008 Spyder, to 3.4 seconds with the LP 570-4 Superleggera model. Two V-0 engines are also used: a 5.2 liter V-10 that was used in the more powerful "LP" models and the 5.0-liter V-10 that was standard in the rest of the model line. One of the most popular modifications for the Gallardo is an exhaust system. Usually made of stainless steel, the aftermarket system is lighter and reduces backpressure, resulting in more power. In conjunction with the exhausts, aftermarket intake systems that increase airflow to the engine are also used to increase power. Owners can choose to install ECU tunes that will yield a moderate power increase depending on the other aftermarket modifications that have been fitted. However, no singe modification will result in the incredible power increases that forced induction is capable of. Some companies such as Heffner Performance have designed twin-turbocharger upgrades that are capable of producing 1,200 horsepower. After power upgrades, the next step is usually upgrading the handling so that the Gallardo can better perform on the track. Numerous companies such as Hamann Motorsports offer suspension upgrades such as springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars. Buying ... |

Indeed, the seven-speed, semi-automatic gearbox achieves gear changes significantly faster than a dual clutch, in 50 milliseconds. From there, power is distributed throughout via an electronically-controlled Haldex coupling, distributing forces to both front and rear. Formula One inspired, its lightweight chassis with pushrod suspension completes the picture. A perfect balance is achieved through aluminium double wishbones coupled with carbon-fibre ceramic brakes. Lightweight yet fierce, this Lamborghini hire gives maximum dynamism. This is accomplished thanks to three driving modes of ’Strada’ (road), Sport and ’Corsa’ (track). These harmonise the engine, transmission, differential, steering and dynamic control in perfect synchronicity. Everything about this car is a step ahead, according to Stephen Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. He calls the Aventador, "a jump of two generations in terms of design and technology ... the result of an entirely new project, but at the same time a direct and consistent continuation of Lamborghini’s brand values. It is extreme in its design and its performance, uncompromising in its standards and technology, and unmistakably Italian in its style and perfection. Overall, the dynamics and ... |
Lamborghini Espadaby Joel Dammann 5/13/2012 The name of the car refers back to the sword (Espada means sword in Spanish) which is used through the toreador to get rid of the bull. The car was manufactured in three series during its ten years of production. The series were called S1 (1968-1970), S2 (1970-1972) and S3 (1972-1978) plus they had improvements concerning the engine power and also the interior and exterior design. For instance, the S2 series had a new dashboard, a new steering wheel, vented brakes and a plus of 25 horsepower.

Lamborghini Concept Sby Joel Dammann 5/13/2012 The Lamborghini Concept S was created by Lamborghini’s Head of Design, Luc Donckerwolke that was inspired of the world’s sports car, the Lamborghini Gallardo. The designer used its floor plan as base for its new project. The Lamborghini Concept S is considered an embodiment of the open car concept. This unique supercar was well accepted by the audience and its designer received several awards due to his revolutionary vision when his concept car was revealed. It is regarded as the fierce competitor for the Ferrari F430 Spider and most people consider the Lamborghini Concept S would be the winner when it comes to the entire assessment. This supercar was displayed the very first time in the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. It is considered that the Lamborghini Concept S was envisioned like a modern interpretation of the single-seat roadster of history. The designers used a "change wind" instead of the conventional windscreen and divided the inside into two different compartments. The "change wind" is strategically placed in order to give an awesome look to the vehicle and in the same time frame can serve as an aura inlet for the engine placed behind the seats. As a result, the vehicle has a futuristic look improving the car’s aerodynamics too. Watching details you will observe that the rear view mirror is electronically retractable enhancing the driver to look for the car’s position, but when not necessary it may be easily hidden.

Lamborghini Miuraby Mindaugas Musininkas 5/13/2012 The founder of Lamborghini group was Ferrucio Lamborghini. After few years of fortunate existence of business (Lamborghini tractor company was incorporated in 1948, later the coverage of activities were expanded into manufacturing of air conditioning, other appliances), having the possibility to own the best cars then available and discover their weaknesses, Ferrucio decided to try to built better car. The first step to implement this wish was the incorporation of the company "Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini SAS" in 1963. In the same year, 90 000 m² of land plot was purchased, where the car factory (15 000 m²) was built. It should be mentioned that all the construction/ installation and setup of the factory was financed solely from the pocket of Ferrucio. ~500 millions of Liras (~ 1 300 000 $) were invested in total. Birth of Miura The development of prototype, named P400 began by the initiative of talented engineers of Lamborghini Company in the year 1965. Initially Lamborghini thought that this car will be very expensive and the company will not manage to materialize it. Nevertheless, with the assumption that P400 will be a good marketing trick, if not more, Lamborghini blessed the birth of this model. The prototype of Miura was introduced in public for the first time at the 1965 Turin Motor Show. It was introduced as a car chassis, with no name. The mid-engined car was a big novelty those times (the mid-engine layout was used in race cars only), so even without a "dress", Miura was ... |

The Aventador Supercar From Lamborghini Replacing Murcielagoby Jason Neeson 3/23/2011 Whether you consider yourself a car aficionado or not, you’ve more than likely heard of the famous Italian car maker Lamborghini. The tractor maker that got mad at Enzo Ferrari and decided he had enough of Ferrari unreliability and decided to start his own car company. You’ve also most likely heard of the Murcielago supercar and have seen plenty of pictures in magazines and in a lot of rap videos. The Murcielago has been the most successful Lamborghini to date with unbelievable performance, power, driving dynamics and a beautiful design. Because of these attributes, the Murcielago has seen great success in the sales department and has helped Lamborghini with massive cash-flow, which in turn has been used to develop other cars, namely the Gallardo. As great as the Murcielago is, it has been around for almost a decade and it needs a replacement. There has been much speculation about what car is going to be replacing the aging Murcielago. Most auto journalist had thought the new supercar from Italy will be called the "Jota" or it will have a numerical name "LP700-4".

Exotic Classic Sports Cars - The Unmistakable Lamborghini Diabloby James G Davis 3/23/2011 Lamborghini Diablo. The name is pure magic. Few cars are sexier than a Lamborghini. Even the Batman drove one, the Murcielago LP640 Coupe, in the Dark Knight. The purr of the engine was unmistakable, as it tore through the streets of Gotham City. Of course, it was a convertible and, of course, Bruce Wayne had two beautiful women with him. With an exotic sports car like this, would we expect anything less? It is somewhat amusing to consider that Lamborghini was a little tractor company that grew to become a leader in world class supercars. In its day, Lamborghini’s tractor business was producing 1000 tractors a year. Their distinctive black and white Trattori could be found all over Italy. Ferruccio Lamborghini did not like the post WWll cars that carmaker Ferrari was building. He thought they lacked the creature comforts and appointments that befitted a Grand Touring automobile. After he was snubbed when he visited the Ferrari factory, he decided to build his own cars. As they say, the rest is history. Lamborghini had a tradition of naming the cars after famous fighting bulls. The Murcielago, according to Lamborghini, "refers to a 19th-century Spanish bull that earned fame through its courageous nature in a bullfight" (Lamborghini). The Diablo, the Devil, which was Ferruccio replacement for the early Countach, was also named for a famous bull. According to THE MOST CHARISMATIC CARS from 80’ to present, this bull in particular was raised by the 19th century Duke of Veragua and was made famous ... |
It’s Time to Say Goodbye to the Lamborghini Murcielagoby William R. Thompson 3/23/2011 Lamborghini is every exotic car enthusiast’s dream car. Sometimes even magazine and automotive editors are in love with this amazing automobile. Excellent Consumer Reviews The Lamborghini Murcielago has consistently ranked extremely well in consumer reviews and automotive publications. US News and World Report has just ranked the 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago number 1 of 7 Exotic Supercars. Their ranking was compiled by analyzing test drives and reviews of the Lamborghini Murcielago and includes any safety and reliability records. Edmunds explains that the Murcielago is "the flagship of one of the most outrageous car manufacturers in history". Car and Driver writes: "From mind-bending speed and the guttural shriek of the V-12 to the low-slung, sharply creased sheetmetal and the butt-on-the-ground seating position, the Murcie is the archetypal Italian exotic. It always draws a crowd, and it has the performance to warrant the attention." Where does the name come from? Murcielago is the Spanish name for "bat", but the name is actually taken from a Spanish fighting bull. This Spanish fighting bull withstood more than 28 sword stabs and his life was spared because of his passion and spirit.

World’s Leading Sports Cars - Lamborghini Murcielagoby James Man 3/23/2011 Although the brand has some tough competition in the new millennium, Lamborghini is still the name to aspire to for both wannabe sports car owners and manufacturers alike. With only 3,000 Murcielago’s built from 2001 to 2007, Lamborghini’s newest model - replacing the Diablo - become the most sought-after sports car in recent history. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) Murcielago, like most from the Lamborghini line, immediately turned heads. Even though the brand is certainly Italian, the name Murcielago means "bat" (as in the animal) in Spanish. Language lessons aside, to the common person, Murcielago simply means "wow." Lamborghini hasn’t really dropped off the map in terms of trendsetting power in recent years; it’s just that other manufacturers, like Bugatti, have caught up. Of course, the Murcielago’s 6.5-liter V12 632 horsepower engine is nothing to sneeze at, but it’s not the most powerful out. This is uncharted territory for Lamborghini. For years, the only other manufacturer to give them a run for their money in terms of out-and-out speed was Ferrari. Try as they might, other manufacturers still cannot remove Lamborghini from the top ranking among the world’s best sports cars. They’re a mainstay. The Murcielago comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, but it is also available with an e-gear auto-shifting manual transmission, akin to what F-1 racecars use, with paddles mounted on the steering column that allow for instant shifting. Murcielago also boasts an electronic traction control with an electronic adaptive suspension. No matter what the weather or terrain, the car’s suspension will automatically adjust ... |
