Edo Present the Limited Edition Lamborghini LP 710 Audigier

edo competition has just released what they claim to be the fastest Lamborghini ever. The Limited Edition edo Lamborghini LP 710 has a top speed of 224 mph (360 kph). Only five units of the LP 710 will be produced.


At the base of the LP 710 is a MurciƩlago LP 640. After disassembling the supercar, edo tuners make modifications to the body work, engine, exhaust, interior, tires, and wheels to bring the car up to their racing standards. All mods are completed within three months.

Surprisingly, the company seems more interested in the design of the car than its power. At the heart of the design is fashion magnet Christian Audigier, who chose the matte black paint for the car. Inside, Audigier embroidered his own name into the seats, while utilizing a different set of fabrics and materials for the seats, door paneling, and center console. World-reknowned artist Marcus Pfeil worked with Audigier to create an airbrush design for the car.

Horsepower, torque, and curb weight is unknown at this time.

Each of the five Limited Edition edo Lamborghini LP 710 production units will be custom made, giving the customer a chance to veto some of the designs and make a more personal choice. If you purchase one, you also get the opportunity to run laps in your new supercar at the oval track in either Papenburg, Germany, or Nardo, Italy. edo will even lend out race driver Patrick Simon to teach you a few tricks for your new car.

Tuning Package for C6 Corvette by Innotech

A new company out of the Czech Republic called INNOTECH has released a their new Corvette tuning package, and claims performance of up to 1,000 horsepower! Updates to the classic sports car include exterior body work, interior design, and performance upgrades.

Available through the company are modified Corvette C6 coupes and convertibles with engines reconfigured to crank out between 500 and 560 hp on a standard engine, and 600 hp with the supercharger.

But if you have the twin turbocharged Corvette LS3 6.2 litre engine engine, your C6 can rocket around a course with a blistering 1000 hp.

Numbers like that harken to the Bugatti Veyron supercar. And at 1400 kg, the INNOTECH Vette is lighter than the Veyron by over a half-ton.

Keeping the Corvette transmission choices - six-speed manual, or automatic - the C6 gets a choice of either 14" BAER brakes or 15" Brembos. With that much power, we recommend the biggest brakes possible. Rotors are drilled, slotted, and ventilated. Brake systems mate to forged aluminum 9x19" front- and 12x20" rear-wheels from brands like HRE and Forgeline. Dymag carbon-magnesium wheels are also available. The exhaust system is compltely overhauled to improve performance, and give the car a more unique appearance.

Around the car, INNOTECH is trying to make the car look a bit more Italian than American. New front and rear fascias make the Vette almost unrecognizeable, while maintaining a very cool look. New side rear window louvres and louvred hood is also available. They also have a wide body kit that, like the other body parts, is custom made from fiberglass or carbon fibre. Inside the car, upgrades include Italian or English leather, and carbon fibre seats covered in a matching leather.

Sadly, performance details have not been released, but the company did say that more performance and luxury options will become available later next year. The conpany is also working on customizations for the Z06 and ZR1 Corvettes.

INNOTECH Corvettes will be assembled in the US, despite the company's Czech Republic home base. Parts and complete cars can be delivered worldwide. The new INNOTECH Corvette C6 will be available beginning in January.
