Lamborghini tuner IMSA has just released an updated version of their GTV kit for the Gallardo LP 560. The kit consists of an aerodynamically optimized front bumper with two large openings on either side of a small wing in the center section, like on the Ferrari Enzo. There are accentuated arches at all four corners allowing the use of wider rubber for more grip. The back bumper has also been redesigned incorporating a rear diffuser. Completing the aerodynamic treatment are side skirts that channel air around the car instead of underneath, this helps to further suck the Lamborghini to the ground at high speeds.

IMSA’s hope for this aero package is to enhance the performance of the vehicle both aesthetically and dynamically and remind the public of the legendary GTV models from the good old days. Even sitting still the yellow Lamborghini looks like it is going 200 MPH.

Press release after the jump.

Even though IMSA may not be as well know as other German tuners, such as EDO Competition or Brabus, it can still provide a great power upgrade kit for the Lamborghini Muricelago Roadster. Inspired by the LP640 model the new kit features a minor power bump, an aggressive aero kit and a new wheel and tires package. Named the GTR Spyder, the new car is capable of 708 hp and has a claimed top speed of 217 mph.

The new model is available with a custom wide-body kit which includes a carbon diffuser, a rear spoiler and additional air-intakes. It also features a high-flow sports exhaust system with a valve-control system meant to enhance the noise no matter the speed. No words about the price yet.

IMSA, a German tuner specializing in high-end sport cars such as Lamborghini, unveiled today its latest tuning kit for the Audi RS6 Avant. The new program consists in a power boost of 70 hp, a modest one if we think at the 715 hp Audi RS6 Avant by B&B or the 702 hp RS6 Avant by MTM. However, the vehicle can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 4.3 seconds, that’s 0.1 seconds faster than the Kicherer Mercedes SL63 AMG. The sprint from 0-124 mph is made in 13.8 seconds.

In order to obtain these performance figures the tuner added new high-flow air intakes as well as a new exhaust system. A new suspension system was also added, lowering the car with up to 25 millimeters, providing better stability at high speeds.

A car that goes this fast also has to be able to well. To accomplish this, a new set of brake discs were mounted, measuring 14” in front and 13.8” the back as well as new 20” ultra-light alloy wheels.
