Default Widebody IMSA Gallardo Spyder




Until recently, the German tuning company IMSA was not more than just an insider tip.But by now, it has achieved the ultimate breakthrough thanks to its first product, the Gallardo GTV. After all, the company from Brüggen treated the Gallardo's power unit like nobody dared before. After this special treatment, the V10 power unit develops maximum output of 610 hp at 7900 rpm. In the near future, it will also be possible to experience this pleasure in an open car – since all GTV parts are now available for the Spyder as well.

Special emphasis was made on road capability. In spite of the increased engine power and the high torque of 655 Nm at 5300 rpm, IMSA wanted the Gallardo to be suitable for every day use; it had to o er the best possible driving fun even under bad weather conditions. Therefore, the four-wheel drive – amongst other things – was adjusted to the new performance. Even during extreme driving manoeuvres, the Gallardo's fine-tuned sport chassis offers great stability and driving control.

The necessary grip is provided by broad 245/30 ZR 20 front and 325/25 ZR20 rear tyres. IMSA's focus was on muscular design and, thus, the Gallardo Spyder is equipped with new front and rear aprons and flared wheelarches as well as distinctive-spoke wheels with central locking and a discreet rear spoiler. The interior is designed to meet any customer's individual wishes: leather, alcantara, aluminium and CFRP are on offer to refine the Gallardo's cockpit.

It's not bad but imo the Gallardo doesn't need all that body cladding.
Not really a fan of white for a sports car but again, it's not bad.
While I'm at it, the wheels are okay but not what I would choose for this car.
Bottom line, I'd rock it for free but I wouldn't pay hard earned for it.

I've been wondering how an IMSA Gallardo Spyder would look. I love the look on the regular Gallardo.

x2. Also, in black or a darker color I think the widebody would probably blend better and look smoother. This look kinda' reminds me of a storm trooper. But, I bet it's a blast and a half to drive and drop the top.

I came across a site where they have very high-res photos of this car all of which are wallpaper worthy!

They come in sizes ranging from 1024 x 768 - 1920 x 1440
