The tuners from IMSA,specialists in Lamborghini and Audi models,launched a new sport package for Gallardo LP560.As the supercar made by Lamborghini was launched recently,it looks like the German specialists from IMSA are the first tuners that modified the new monster Gallardo LP560,presented at the Geneva saloon this spring.
Most of the improvements made by IMSA are discrete and were made at the mechanical part.At the exterior we can distinguish the new alloy wheels,and some of the body parts were replaced with ones made out of carbon fiber.
Also,IMSA prepared for Gallardo LP560 a new suspension to improve the steering and a new exhaust system that allows the performances to raise.The V10 engine of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 has 24 extra horse power,thanks to the tuning of the ECU.The monster now has 584Hp to play with. (more…)

Mercedes officially presented the first images and informations with the newest monster that got out of the hands of the AMG engineers.Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series manages to honor the contract with the fans and is to be a street weapon,with a V12 biturbo 6.0l engine with 670Hp.
The engine will have an automatic gear box with 5 gears,a bad news for the guys that expected at least 6 gears on this model.Anyway,there is a good part at the bad part:the software that takes care of the gears is the same on the Speedshift version with 7 gears.The monster is quite heavy, even though thanks to the carbon fiber it was lowered with 250kg,reaching 1870kg.A number quite big which doesn`t take you to a sports car.
Even with these conditions,the performances are just like AMG got us used to.The car gets from 0 to 100km/h in only 3.9s and has a top speed of 320km/h reached at 6200 in the 5th gear.
The model will be presented for the first time at the Paris Auto Saloon in october.The price of SL 65 AMG Black Series will be around 250.000 euro. (more…)
