IMSA LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO LP560-4 GTV

German tuner IMSA has outlined more details of its latest project that offers upgrades to the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. IMSA is know for tuning Audi and Lamborghini models and has previously worked on the Gallardo as well as its larger sister, the Murciélago LP640.

The upgrade work for the LP560-4 primarily focuses on the cosmetic area with a wide body kit with a redesigned front wheel arch section that flows into a large vertical brake cooling duct outlet just in front of the doors. There are new side skirts and the rear arch has been reshaped and includes and outlet behind the wheel that matches the theme at the front of the sports car. At the rear IMSA have crafted a new lower spoiler/diffuser and a rear spoiler perches on on the engine cover which features vents embossed with the company's logo.

IMSA has also fitted new 20-inch split-rim wheels that use a racing style single central locking nut. The two-colour rims come in two sizes: 9Jx20 with 245/30 ZR20 tyres at the front and 12.5Jx20 with 325/25 ZR20 tyres at the rear. Under the skin of the IMSA Gallardo LP560-4 there is a new height adjustable coilover suspension arrangement while a new stainless steels exhaust system increases power by a claimed 30 bhp to 590 bhp while peak torque now kicks in at 413 lb/ft, up from the standard model's 398 lb/ft.

Inside the Gallardo the interior finish gets a cosmetic makeover with new carbon fibre framed seats standing out; these are detailed with the IMSA company logo running vertically and are trimmed in Alcantara, while the same striped effect is relayed across the dashboard section and the leather steering wheel. Other carbon-fibre and Alcantara trim parts feature inside the cockpit.
