evscb Report post Posted December 23, 2008 I am a fan of Edo-Competition, But this is a low for them. Played out overpriced designers should not have their own vehicles and make them look this bad. The LP640 looks great in Matte black minus the Audigier graphics. This project should of been done with a Ferrari and not a Lamborghini. These tasteless graphics are horrid, I hope that we will not see this in Fast and Furious 4. € 495,000 = 690,426 U.S. dollars ---------------------------------------------------- ‘Art Cars’ have been known to add value to cars before, take the for example BMW M1 by Andy Warhol recently valued by Octane magazine to be worth £10,000,000 or the John Lennon Rolls Royce Phantom V valued by the same magazine at £3,000,000. It seems Edo-Competition have taken note and teamed up Christian Audigier to create a limited edition LP 710 (based on the LP640) of which only 5 will be made available. Both the interior and exterior of the hypercar have been re-designed by Christian, not only this but each car is tailored to the individual owner in the Haute-Couture style. Edo claim that this will create the best of both worlds, the worlds fastest car alongside a unique design. These designs will then be sent to world renowned custom paintwork engineer Marcus Pfeil, of Pfeildesign in Austria where the design will be applied to the car. Each car will be finished off with the US-based designer’s signature personally applied. Each car will take 3 months to hand fit all the modifications, of which there are many. Essentially, underneath it’s a 710/2, the 2 wheel drive Lamborghini LP640 tuning kit that edo produce. This means it’s got 710bhp and 2 wheel drive, allowing it to reach 62mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 224mph. This is achieved through the use of new exhaust headers, new high flow catalytic converters, new mufflers, a new exhaust tip, new performance camshafts, modified cylinder heads and new high flow air filters with an adjusted ECU to make best use of the modifications. Each new owner will be given the opportunity to drive their new car at it’s top speed, either on the high speed oval in Papenburg, Germany or at Nardo, Italy. Edo Test driver Patrick Simon will be available, on request, at these events to lend the proud owner advice on how to get the best from the car. The price for this level of personalisation? A cool €495,000 (£469,000). flow air filters with an adjusted ECU to make best use of the modifications. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

evscb Report post Posted December 23, 2008 I honestly thought about writing Edo-Competition a long e-mail about how this publicity stunt will do more harm for the Lamborghini community than positive. Even if it was just a joke "It's not" it would of been a bad one. All the little ricer burners can't hardly pull this off, but we're not talking about a Honda civic or a ford mustang. Lamborghini's are artwork in itself. Yea the occasional aftermarket appearance upgrade can enhance the look of the vehicle. But this looks like a sticker kit you'd buy at pep boys or Napa.

I really doub they will give two shits, infact it will probualy motivate them more. I think its hideous, but no worse really than half the shit that they do in Japan with their cars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
