IMSA TUNING

20.01.2007 GERMAN TUNER IMSA TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO THE LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO

Until recently, the German tuning company IMSA wasn't particularly well known. But now, it has achieved a major breakthrough thanks to its first product, the Lamborghini Gallardo GTV. After all, the company from Brüggen, claims that it has treated the Gallardo's power unit like nobody has dared before. After this special treatment, the V10 power unit develops maximum output of 610 hp at 7,900 rpm. In the near future, it will also be possible to experience this pleasure in an open car – since all unique IMSA Gallardo GTV parts are now available to be fitted to the Spyder model as well.

Special emphasis, say IMSA, was made on the sports car's road capability. In spite of the increased engine power and the high torque of 655 Nm at 5300 rpm, IMSA wanted the Gallardo to be suitable for every day use; it had to offer the best possible driving fun even under bad weather conditions. Therefore, the four-wheel drive – amongst other things – was adjusted to the new performance.

IMSA's focus was on muscular design and, thus, the Gallardo Spyder is equipped with new front and rear aprons and flared wheelarches as well as distinctive-spoke wheels with central locking and a discreet rear spoiler.


Even during extreme driving manoeuvres, the Lamborghini Gallardo's fine-tuned sport chassis offers great stability and driving control. The necessary grip is provided by broad 245/30 ZR 20 front and 325/25 ZR20 rear tyres. IMSA's focus was on muscular design and, thus, the Gallardo Spyder is equipped with new front and rear aprons and flared wheelarches as well as distinctive-spoke wheels with central locking and a discreet rear spoiler. The interior is designed to meet any customer's individual wishes: leather, alcantara, aluminium and CFRP are on offer to refine the Gallardo's cockpit.
