Lamborghini Gallardo

Spy photographers caught a new mysterious Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder testing at Nurburgring. And since we do not know exactly what it is, then we can only make assumptions. So, lets see. Lamborghini has a LP 570-4 Superleggera and a LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Edition, both provided in a coupe version. So, which one is about to get a spyder version?

The prototype caught testing features the same wheels, diffuser, and rear bumper

as the Superleggera model, but has a smaller rear wing. There is also a front bumper similar to the one from the Valentino Balboni Edition. So, which one do you guys think it is?

The Gallardo LP 550-2 is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 engine that delivers 550 hp. With a weight of only 3042 lbs, the car sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and can hit a top speed of 199 mph. The LP570-4 Superleggera gets a 5.2 liter V10 engine with 570 hp. The result is a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, from 0 to 124 mph in only 10.2 seconds later, while top speed goes up to 202 mph.

Nissan Skyline GT-R

Do you happen to be in the neighborhood for a fully built 1200 HP AWD Time Attack racecar? If so eBay has you covered. It appears that the online auctioneer is becoming a more common place to find these types of ultra high performance super cars.

The most notable feature of this 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R is its color. The yellow exterior of this ten year old racecar looks better than ever. The color is one of the signature touches that the Japanese tuners JUN applies to their Super Lemon vehicles, like the 1000 HP R-33 with a top speed of over 230 MPH. The modifications to this GT-R go far beyond paintwork. The vehicle features a Greddy T-78 turbocharger, a large unit capable of producing tremendous horsepower. The R-34 has 8 piston front brake calipers from Brembo, racecar hardware. The doors, trunk and hood are all made from lightweight composite material.

With the current economic situation and the limited application of the Hyper Powered Skyline it will be interesting to see how much a JUN built Time Attack GT-R is worth these days.

2010 Volkswagen Golf VI GTI by Weitec

How many times do you have the chance to see a Golf GTI  with lambo-doors? Not often, you can be sure of that, but WEITEC decided this was a look that would mesh well with the most powerful Golf in Volkswagen’s line-up.

The tuner added new sports springs, the sport suspension and coilovers that reduce the GTI’s ride by 10 to 40 millimeters. With the certified adjustment range, the driver can adjust the look and the drive dynamics to precisely suit his requirements.

Aside from the Lambo doors, the Golf seems to have also been given an extensive body kit that further defines the visual lowering of the vehicle. The bonnet of the vehicle has also been modified to a crisp black with a few small vents scattered throughout.

Just for the record, we in no way think this makes the Golf look like the esteemed Lamborghini, but we applaud WEITEC’s creativity and forthright in providing the compact car with a little flair.
