A few years after it released a GT3 race version for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560, Reiter Engineering is back with a new GTS-spec Gallardo: the 2011 Lamborghini LP600+ GT3. Based on the Gallardo LP560-4, Reiter Engineering tweaked the supercar and turned it into a race-spec version that will compete in GT3 races for the 2011 season. Reiter Engineering is no stranger to producing race-winning GT3 racers. Their previous work – the Gallardo LP560 GT3 – sold more than 50 examples worldwide while also dominating races in the GT3 class of various racing series all over the world. For the latest version, Reiter Engineering is pulling out all the stops in ensuring that the LP600+ GT3 race car will take after its predecessors in dominating GT3-class races for the 2011 season. No word yet on which team is interested in getting these bad boys, but we’re sure that Reiter’s new Lamborghini GT3 racer will see a lot of GT3 starting grids in the near future. Details after the jump. Exterior and InteriorThe 2011 iteration of the Gallardo LP600+ GT3 racer comes with a few updates, including a new front splitter, a new exhaust system, a redesigned hood, new gear ratios, and a rear spoiler. On top of that, Reiter Engineering also used an extensive amount of carbon fiber on the car to go along with the lightweight, structural aluminum space frame that was based on aluminum extruded parts welded to aluminum caster joint elements. The LP6000+ also comes with an AP brake system with ventilated brake discs while also boasting of a few original Reiter Engineering items, including a double wishbone front and rear suspension, an anti-roll bar, anti-dive and anti squat, racing shocks and springs, and lastly, a set of 18-inch magnesium wheels with racing slick tires. All the changes reduces the Lamborghini’s weight to about 1,990 kg. PerformanceThe 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP600+ GT3 is powered by the same 5.2-liter V10 engine as with its GT3 brethren, only this time, Reiter Engineering tweaked and updated the engine, making it capable of producing over 600 horsepower at 8,000 RPM. PricingExcluding VAT, Reiter Engineering’s new LP600+ GT3 will cost around $385,774. CompetitionThe LP600+ GT3 faces stiff competition considering that the car competes in GT3-class competitions. Among the notable thorns on its side, include the Ferrari 430 Scuderia GT, the McLaren MP4-12C GT3, the BMW Z4 GT3, and the Ford GT GT3. 19 comments: Lamborghini LP600+ GT3 by Reiter Engineering Isn’t that the body of the lambos are already carbon fiber? so why are you suggesting that turn the black portion into carbon?
they should use a carbon for the black portion of the LP600, it looks more aggressive on carbon not only that I also Lessen the weight of the car.
Always love to read the pricing. I think these brands are in the category if you ask it you can’t buy it! I mean, you need to be rich enough to afford to pay $200+K for a car. You need to have at least $2M otherwise you cannot take care of it since a single breaks set that is replaced at 20.000-30.000 km costs as much as a regular car. My opinion is to avoid writing about the pricing The Gallardo brought some well thought simplification in shape of the Lamborghini. As I see the Reiter Engineering is pulling that back to make it again an old type looking Lamborghini. I like this new black and white trend, combined with matte paintjob. It gives more visual flexibility to the car.
Soon, these exclusive car makes, like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mclaren, etc. will go to the factory and custom build their own models Wouldn’t that be great?
not only that dude, also the weight of the car is reduced, a total diet for the LP600 is given to obtain that tremendous speed and acceleration.
lovely paint job, white and black color is trully amazing if paired perfectly and correctly like this one. I should call it Lamborghini Panda.
