With the
modified Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera edo
competition Motorsport has now added a second
high-profile Italian racer from the 'Raging Bull' stable
to its tuning program, after the Murciélago LP640. Like
its bigger brother, this sports car with the bull in its
logo excels through its highlighted racing genes and
more aggressive appearance after being modified at edo
competition.
The most
remarkable feature is the sensational acceleration. edo
competition achieves these figures thanks to the
installation of a massive air box, high flow catalytic
converters which are a completely new design and a
recalibration of the engine electronics. All components
together raise the power output to 560 hp (411 kW) at 8,250
rpm. The power increase of 30 hp / 22 kW boosts the top
speed by about 6 km/h (4 mph) to 320 km/h (199 mph).
Another
highlight: The sound volume of the modified exhaust system
can be adjusted via remote. The sporty concept of the edo
Gallardo Superleggera is rounded off with 19“ three-piece
racing wheels with an artificially-aged cast centre-section,
hand-polished outer rims and 39 stainless steel screws. The
front wheels are shod in stock-sized or (on request) 245/35
ZR 19 rubber while 305/30 ZR 19 Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres are
used on the rear axle. With this solution edo competition
enables its customers to reuse the factory tires on their
new wheels.
edo competition
treats the masculine stance of the Gallardo Superleggera to
an additional testosterone injection by lowering the
suspension by a good 15 mm and through the use of
corner-weighting. With these upgrades, the Lambo sticks to
the road so firmly and unflappably that it would take an
earthquake to upset its poise.
The verdict from the July 2008 issue of the German
Autobild magazine's comparison test between the Edo
Gallardo and the MTM R8 said: "The edo Gallardo Superleggera
is the more harmonic and better balanced car. Very quick,
great to control and of the finest quality in all aspects."
