Reventon-Style Bodykit for Lamborghini Gallardo






















If you're searching for an answer to the question what to do when you own a Lamborghini Gallardo but want the style of the limited run Reventon model, you may want to take a look at these aero part offerings from German tuning firm CDC-International.

Even though the similarities are far less obvious than the tuner would like us to believe, nevertheless, the newly styled protruding front bumper and 'busy' side skirts offer the Gallardo what we'd describe as a more Reventon-ish look.

Of course, the result would have been much more convincing if the tuning firm had wrapped the Italian supercar in flat gray vinyl and replaced the wheels with a set of black alloys, but anyway.

Bumper and side skirts aside, the tuners offerings for the Gallardo also include a large rear wing with red/pink trim that is also found on the exterior mirror covers (just to make sure you won't fall under the radar of cops), engine kits up to 800HP and various interior tid bits.

Lamborghini Miura Nuovo Design Study: Something Old, Something New























The name Miura conjures up images of Lamborghini's original V12 bad boy, considered one of the most beautiful cars in history. Even Lamborghini couldn't ignore it forever, bringing it back in modernized concept form in 2006. Marco van Overbeeke, a designer from the Holland, is determined to bring it back.

Enter the Lamborghini Miura Nuovo, meant to be a "contemporary interpretation of [a] traditional archetype"; that means a mid-rear V12 with seating for two. Could something like this work as a new Lamborghini halo car?

If consumers had anything to say about it, the answer's probably yes. People DID dish out exorbitant amounts of dough for the Reventon, re-skinned Murcielago.

Only one problem: Lamborghini CEO Stefan Winkelmann says, "Lamborghini is about the future...So we won't do the Miura." Too bad.

Not to go against the head honcho or anything, but what about using heritage-inspired cues on a Ferrari California competitor? That may just be the ticket to a little brand variety. Seems to be working fine for Ferrari.

Geneva Preview: Lamborghini's New Gallardo LP570-4 Supperleggera























Set to debut in Geneva (really really soon) is the Lamborghini Murcielago SV's little brother. Called the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, it's set to carry some of its older sibling's feature characteristics (loud colors, swoopy graphics, big wing, and that black lower-body trim) while developing 570 horsepower.

Unofficial numbers are claiming a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.4 blips and a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). For comparison's sake, the former Superleggera cranked out 530 horsepower, hit 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, and topped out at 317 km/h (197 mph).

Hit the break for the leaked photos and don't forget to check back soon for an updated gallery and official info.
