Düsseldorf-based extreme tuner and stylist Anderson Germany has turned its attention to the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni with an upgrade that increases power and torque as well as reworking the cockpit and other modifications including new 3-part rims.

Because the exterior of this fast car can hardly be improved, the team at tuner Anderson Germany – which is noted for its extravagant tuning and design programmes for high performance models from brands such as BMW, Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche and Audi – have concentrated more on the interior of the Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, but also incorporated minor new external “details”, and this has given them room to go all out.

Small visible details on the outside include the tint of the tail lamps and the panes. The new exclusive three-part rims are of a type that are specially lacquered, they are 8.5x20 and 11.5x20 inches in size and fitted with high performance tyres measuring 235/30-20 at the front and 305/25-20 at the rear. Although not immediately visible, there is also a new audible exhaust system which can be adjusted with a remote-controlled three-step valve control.

Inside there are more refinements including dazzling new logo-decorated seats that are built out of 'carbon in white'. Anderson Germany also claim that they have increased the performance of the Balboni Edition's V10 engine from 550 PS to 590 PS with an even higher maximum torque, but no details are given yet of the changes undertaken.

Anderson Germany aims to turn luxury cars into truly one of a kind vehicles, claiming that the vehicles are fine-tuned for the stars of this world according to their special requests, inside as well as outside, and their website reveals a number of extravagantly reworked sports cars. A special pick-up service is offered to clients to do this, regardless of the car’s location, and which is within the price. Their main area of expertise they say is in providing exclusive wheels rims, complete with lacquering or film coating, carbon finishing, specially manufactured exhaust systems, increased performance and interior finishing as well as high end multimedia solutions. No prices are given yet for the Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni upgrades.
