New Best Cars: BF-performance Lamborghini Gallardo GT600 Sports Car

BF-performance Lamborghini Gallardo GT600

The Lamborghini specialist has already gained experience with the predecessor model and now brings The entire automobile confirms the perfection and passion for detail applied by BF-performance. BF-performance offers the entire car with all components either as the sporty Coupé GT600 or also as the Roadster GT600 Spyder. The customer can even opt for carbon in his favourite colour.

The manufactory uses carbon on the steering wheel, door handles, ventilation grids and even at the switch casings. BF-performance visually adjusts the interior to the increased dynamics. Apart from the sports bucket seats, BF-performance also offers five-point belts, a roll-over cage and a carbon-ceramic braking system with which the GT600 meets the highest racing standards. The interior also follows this dynamic maxim. On the Sachsenring round course, the GT600 even managed to beat the stronger Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 SV by an impressive lead of 0.6 seconds.

BF-performance has confirmed the performance of the new automobile in an impressive race. And of course the engineers also focused on the engine performance. Due to the refinement by BF-performance, also the GT600 with a V10 engine can be equipped with doors which are so typical for Lamborghini. The wing doors render a significant amount of individuality, but are strictly limited to Lamborghini models with twelve-cylinder engines. The rear wing, which provides a significant improvement in downforce over the rear axle, is actually quite fetching and it suits the lines of the car very well indeed.

The BF-perfomance GT600 gets a new front bumper - which is similar in style to the original car's, wider race-inspired sideskirts, and a rather obvious fixed rear spoiler. The new body panels, marked out by the fact they're finished in clearcoated carbon fiber, are all situated around the bottom of the car. In total the other modifications have also rendered a weight reduction of 43 kgs (95 lbs) which further improves performance. Most significant is the option for a RWD only configuration - just like on the Gallardo LP550-2 Balboni edition. Not content with just making some pretty bits to stick onto the Gallardo LP560-4, the engineers at BF-performance also developed a number of performance enhancements and modification options for the drivetrain.

And in the process they've also renamed it the GT600. Swiss tuning firm BF-performance, based in the wonderfully named city of Zug, have developed a comprehensive modification package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Therefore, they turn both the Coupé and also the Spyder into the GT600 which has a stronger performance, more self-confidence and looks more aggressive. For them, the Gallardo is too innocent and neither dynamic nor individual enough.

While Lamborghini is satisfied with the Gallardo LP560-4, the Swiss have higher demands – at least the engineers at BF-performance. In the Swiss city Zug, perfection has a different meaning than in the Italian town Sant’Agata Bolognese.
