edo competition Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

edo competition Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera


Famous aftermarket tuner of all things exotic edo Competition has now added a second high-profile modified Lamborghini to its tuning program with the Gallardo Superleggera edo competition.

Featuring mechanical and aerodynamic tweaks, power output has been raised to 411 kW (up 22kW) at a stratospheric 8,250rpm courtesy of a larger air box, high flow catalytic converters and recalibration of the engine electronics. The power boost increases top speed by 6 km/h to 320 km/h (199mph).

The edo Competition's sports exhaust system allows manual adjustment of the sound volume via remote - a neat trick to piss off your neighbours if need be!

Visually, the edo competition Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is lowered by 15 mm for an even more aggressive stance than usual. The lowered suspension gives the car even less body roll during hard cornering and "would take an earthquake to upset its poise".

A beautiful set of 19-inch three-piece racing wheels with an artificially-aged cast centre-section, hand-polished outer rims and 39 stainless steel screws with 245/35 ZR 19 and 305/30 ZR 19 is fitted.

Lewis Hamilton's dad crashes rare Porsche Carrera GT

June 6th 2008 11:15
Porsche Carrera GT crashed


When F1 driver Lewis Hamilton was invited to be a guest on Top Gear's "Star in a reasonably-priced car" segment, he told Jeremy Clarkson that his dad still thinks he [Hamilton Snr] was the better driver.

Perhaps Anthony Hamilton was trying (too hard) to live up to the conception of his own imagination as he stepped in the cockpit of a rare Porsche Carrera GT and proceeded to lose control and spin the car 180 degrees, through a wooden fence and a thick hawthorn hedge before finally coming to a halt in a children’s playground.

Anthony Hamilton crashes Porsche Carrera GT


Oh dear!

For a car which boasts a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.9 seconds and a reputation for snap oversteer, it certainly isn't a car to show-off in for a novice which is apparently what Hamilton Snr did according to witnesses.

"He was revving the engine of the Carrera GT but ended up overrevving it and lost control.”

Last but not least, the car was borrowed! How funny must the phone call to the owner have been then. Sure, his son earns enough dosh to buy a brand new Carrera GT for the owner many times over but sadly, it is no longer in production which means the badly damaged bodywork and undercarriage will have to be repaired.
