In cooperation with internationally acclaimed designer
Christian Audigier, edo competition has pulled out all
the stops to create the fastest Lamborghini ever made. The limited edition edo LP 710, of which only five
will be produced, is a vehicle engineered to the highest
standards, combined with Christian Audigier’s unusual
themes and unparalleled sense of colour.
For those wishing to follow in the footsteps of
international celebrities, there’s no way around
Christian Audigier. With his luxury clothing label he is
setting new standards in the fashion world, exemplified
by the sparkling skull and pirate themes adorning his
designer pieces. However, Christian Audigier’s
creativity is not limited to fashion; it also translates
to the world of automotive design, as evidenced by this
latest cooperative effort.
Thanks to his inexhaustible imaginativeness, the
matte black outer skin of the edo LP 710 has been
completely restyled. However, it doesn’t end there! The
redesigned interior is an impressive sight as well.
Carrying the creative theme inside, the seats, door
panels and centre console have been upgraded using his
exquisite designs.
Carrying out the elaborate airbrush work to bring
Christian Audigier’s ideas to life is none other than
Marcus Pfeil, of Pfeildesign in Austria. It’s only
fitting that the work being carried out on these unique
vehicles is done exclusively by an artist with a
worldwide reputation in the custom painting scene.
All five Haute-Couture Lamborghinis are custom made
for each customer. The themes typical of Audigier’s
design underline the edo LP 710’s proud pedigree. Every
wish of the client can be accommodated during
production. Customers have the opportunity to
personalize their vehicles by choosing from a wide range
of themes, lending an individual touch to Christian
Audigier’s work. Thus it is ensured that prospective
owners do not just get the world’s fastest Lamborghini,
but also a completely unique design. In addition, each
vehicle will be personally signed by the US-based star
designer.
The base car, a Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640, is
completely disassembled. The modifications to the
engine, aerodynamics, wheels, tires, exhaust system and
interior are made to measure at edo competition within a
three month time frame. Along with the purchase of the vehicle, the customer
gets the opportunity to drive his Lamborghini LP 710 at
the limit, either at the high speed oval in Papenburg,
Germany or at Nardo, Italy. Upon request, edo's test
driver and pro racer Patrick Simon will coach the owner at the race track. Undoubtedly a memorable
experience at speeds of over 360 km/h (224 mph).

Power increase
The increase in power was achieved through the use of
new exhaust headers, new high flow catalytic converters,
new mufflers, a new exhaust tip, new performance
camshafts, modified cylinder heads and new high flow air
filters. The engine controls are reprogrammed to make ideal
use of the individual modifications.
Aerodynamics
This powerful package is brought to perfection with
optimized aerodynamics which enhances the stability of
the mighty bull and bestows the car with an even more
dynamic elegance. A newly developed and beautifully
shaped rear wing with an adjustable lip completes the
aerodynamics package.
Wheels/tyres
A high-speed wheel and tire combination: 19 inch
light alloy wheel set with special Continental
high-speed tires: 225/35 ZR 19 Continental V-max in the
front and 325/30 ZR 19 Continental V-max in the rear.
High performance exhaust system
A marvelous sound emanates from the edo competition
stainless steel high performance exhaust system which
includes a new exhaust tip. A new butterfly-valve
control system – remote-controlled on request – is
available, too. The more aggressive rear view is a great
side-effect.
Drivetrain/clutch
edo competition has developed a new single disc
clutch. Additionally the 4-wheel drive arrangement is
turned into a 2-wheel drive setup. The LP 710 /2 is
delivered with rear wheel drive. Weight savings of 40 kg
(88 lb) and more agile handling are the result of this
conversion.
