The custom wheel tuners from Savini Wheels released five creations at the SEMA Show that caught everyone’s attention. Along for the ride were a modified Lamborghini Murcielago, Rolls-Royce Ghost, Ferrari 458, and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG all sporting a new set of rims and tires. Many also feature carbon fiber accents for the body parts, tinted windows, and a lowered suspension for better handling. Hit the jump to see all the pictures of the tuned cars.
Back in October 2003 the Texas Mile held its inaugural event with a mile and a half long track allowing drivers to go as fast as possible. It has become very popular for tuning enthusiasts over the years because you can top out your car without getting in trouble with the law. It’s the perfect place to set new records, however you wouldn’t want to be the owner of this twin-turbo Lamborghini Gallardo. Things went horribly wrong right after he hit the 1 mile marker, immediately deploying the parachute, and sending him off the right side of the track into a furry of flips. No doubt it was the parachute that caused this crash, and the sad part is that the car didn’t even need a parachute. Lamborghini factory brakes would have been plenty to stop the car before the end of the track.
The tuning company ZR Auto has released a new project using the Lamborghini Gallardo with a nasty green paint job. Personally, I would never buy a car this color, but the mods are impressive to say the least. The exotic sports car received a brand new IMSA body kit to drastically change the appearance, while a Heffner Twin Turbo performance package was installed under the engine cover. Completing the look is the IMSA wide body conversion kit, along with IMSA custom painted lightweight wheels, IMSA eight-piston big brake kit, Moton fully adjustable coilover suspension kit, IMSA clear glass engine decklid, and a custom color interior to match the puke green exterior.
The Russian tuning firm Status Design have revealed their latest project on the Lamborghini Murcielago. They teamed up with BF Performance to offer several exterior, interior, and audio upgrades for the exciting sports car. From BF Performance the car received a new bonnet, door sills, and rear spoiler, while Status Design installed their own front bumper, headlight surrounds, mirrors, side mouldings, and engine cover. All these performance parts were finished in carbon fiber, and the custom rear bumper fits a new sports exhaust system to finish off the look after adding new rims.
The tuning company at RENM Performance has released this new package for the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 called the Axiom. A Greek term meaning “being in balance” this Lamborghini received several upgrades for a custom look. Lightweight 19-inch carbon or forged three piece rims were installed, as well as few carbon fiber parts. These include new air intakes, sports filters, and carbon fiber styling for the interior. Performance is a main focus from RENM however, and this modified Murcielago was put to the test.
