Road-Legal Lambo Racer

Rear-drive Murcielago for the road

---

A road-legal version of the Lambo Murcielago R-GT racing car has been unveiled by German race engineers Reiter.

The suitably be-winged chariot is based on the rear-drive factory racers that Reiter runs for Lamborghini in the GT championship. It was built as a one-off for the Essen motor show, but doubtless Reiter Engineering will be delighted to churn out a few more copies if demand is out there. Failing that, the company is believed to be planning to offer some of the parts as individual components, possibly including the high level exhaust system designed to limit damage in the cut-and-thrust of close quarter track action.

Jeez,

That'll be savage to drive in anything other than dry conditions.

Could they apply the upgrades to an LP640? Now that would look

[Beefmeister]

That car is an odd mix of Murcielago and LP640. The front bumper is LP640, but the rear end (lights, rear bumper etc) are old Murci.

Just saying...

[massive1]

[WILDROVER42]

Just off to the bathroom, wont be long.

Yep, wouldn't want to be behind that. Looks great though

[roland82]

In my opinion of limited knowlegde Ive never thought this or the gallardo should be 4 wheel drive.

[gizmo71]

How much, and where do I apply?!

I would!! imagine the sound of it!

[Faz_ITR]

I'll take mine standard please

[Fetchez la vache]

It would be interesting to know what the performance differences were between the standard against a standard car that had solely been engineered to be rear wheel drive (ie without extra wings, trick exhausts, power increases etc etc etc...)

[M3CHA-MONK3Y]

Loved this car after seeing one hack round Silverstone and now their making a road version, Yeayy! The noise they make is immense, drowns out Aston DBR9's and Corvettes.
Better start saving those pennies!

[dpbird90]

Looks cool, I just wish the standard car had looked like that to begin with.

This is what Lambo's are all about. They need a rear wing big enough to build a small airport on, and it needs to be scary behind the wheel. It's character.

I'll take mine in Matt Black; now that would look evil

[tomTVR]

This has to be my favourite supercar. Those murcielago race cars are pure sex

[xjr88]

Crikey! my very own FIA GT Lamborghini

DO WANT (just not in yellow)

[RobMorgan]

you could have some fun with a flammer kit on that exhaust!
