Amari Design is a branch of Amari Supercars, a pre-owned supercar dealership in the United Kingdom. A new division set to focus on tuning exotics, Amari Design looks to launch with its own version of a tuned Lamborghini Gallardo dubbed the Invidia Edition.

While a looker, the Amari Design Gallardo project caught our eye because of the aspiration to produce 740-hp out of the Gallardo’s 5.0L V10 powerplant. No details were provided on how Amari hopes to achieve the power figure, but they have boasted that John Greatorex (what an awesome last name) heads up Amari’s Service garage. Apparently Greatorex is one of the great five supercar mechanics in the United Kingdom.

To back up all the extra horsepower, Amari Design will be outfitting the Gallardo with plenty of body modifications including a restyled front bumper, carbon fiber front spoiler, new front fenders and rear quarter panels, side skirts, rear bumper with carbon fiber diffuser and carbon fiber rear spoiler. A new exhaust is also being developed to fit the new rear fascia along with bumping up horsepower.

Amari also announced that the Invidia Edition Gallardo will sport some interior upgrades featuring carbon fiber trim and Alcantara throughout. No pricing has been announced but Amari Design is already underway in production hoping to debut in April.

Known for their tuning prowess and expertise in building Lamborghini race cars, Reiter Engineering has just made another huge splash with their Gallardo LP600+ GT3 race car. The LP600+ ushers in 600-hp at 8000 rpm out of its 5.2L V10 powerplant while weighing in at a scant 2,623-lbs.

With a price tag just a tad over $375,000, Reiter Engineering’s Lamborghini Gallardo LP600+ is most certainly not for everybody.

In addition to its race-inspired aesthetics, the LP600+ features a new exhaust system, the suspension has been overhauled based on Reiter’s Murcielago R-GT while the brakes are from AP. The cockpit screams race car with a complete switch panel in the center console and paddle shifters to access the modified gear ratios.

The Lp600+ comes equipped with 18×11-inch lightweight magnesium wheels in the front while the rear sports a wider 18×12.5-inch pairing. Reiter Engineering has also fine-tuned the aerodynamics with a front splitter featuring double under-floor diffusers and a high down force rear racing wing.

Hamann previously released its first Victory iteration with the original Lamborghini Gallardo and now they’ve followed it up with the Victory II on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. The tuning package’s main focal point is its widebody conversion along with plenty more additional carbon fiber parts and increased engine performance.

Hamann equips the Gallardo LP560-4 with new wing doors on the Victory II, in true traditional Lamborghini fashion. The front bumper is very much race-inspired and features a center carbon fiber diffuser. The fender blisters gives the Lp560-4 a wider stance with extended side skirts to match, while the rear receives a new diffuser and rear wing. The hood, spoiler and the air intake on the roof are available in carbon fiber..

For wheels, Hamann has matched the Victory II with a set of 20-inch Edition Race wheels with a unique finish to match the theme of the exotic. The wheels are sized with a 20×9.5-inch pair on the front, while the rear is equipped with 20×13-inchers.

Horsepower increases from 560-hp to 580-hp with 424 lb-ft of torque. This is done through an ECU retune while the note of the car is certainly changed with new mufflers to the exhaust.

The interior is overlaid with a 14-piece carbon fiber interior kit while Hamann also offers carbon fiber-backed sport seats. And of course, anything in the interior can be reupholstered or customized to the customer’s desires.

We’ve never been a huge fan of widebody Lamborghinis or Ferraris, but Anderson Germany has actually executed this one properly. They’ve taken your standard Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and decided to make what they call a ‘White Edition’ out of it by widening its body, outfitting it with 20-inch wheels and enhancing horsepower by 40 additional ponies.

Going from the stock 560-hp to 600-hp, Anderson Germany does an ECU modification along with new air filters and a sport exhaust system. An adjustable valve in the exhaust allows the driver to enjoy three different levels of noise. The exhaust also frees up close to 50 lbs of unnecessary weight.

Lowering the vehicle is a sport suspension package which also helps sit the 20-inch three-piece wheels nicely onto the fenders. Up front is a 20×9 wrapped with 245/30/20 while the rear consists of a massive 20×12.5-inch pairing with 325/25/20 rubber. Clearly the rear of this Gallardo has been widened and it is packing some serious rubber.

The widebody aero kit also consists of a new front bumper, side skirts, a rear diffuser and rear spoiler. Inside the white and black theme continues with white carbon details, black Alcantara and black and white leather seats.

Oh what has this world come to? Former import model, Tila Nguyen, turned reality TV star Tila Tequila, has gotten herself behind the steering wheel of a bright Tiffany Blue Lamborghini Gallardo LP-560.

As much as we find Tila Tequila annoying and tasteless, we have to admit that the bright blue pairs up nicely with the Gallardo LP-560′s lines. Bright colors always seems to do Italian’s hottest exotics justice.

But we digress and hopefully all the little girls out there aren’t looking up to Miss Tila as a role model. Remember girls, you really don’t have to go through the extent of what she did to get yourself a Lamborghini.

At least it’s not pink, right?

Lamborghini‘s newest, badass Gallardo continues the proud tradition of giving Italian supercars incredibly banal names, with the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante, which literally means “Convertible Performance”.

The rest of the car is anything but staid, with enough performante to give you a third eye socket.  Weighing just under 3300 pounds, the droptop Lambo packs a 570 horsepower V10 and hits 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 201 mph. Weight has been reduced by 143 lbs, coincidentally the upper weight limit of any potential owner’s female companion.

Expect to see this car parked outside a fancy restaurant sometime in 2011, most likely with the optional massive spoiler installed.

Lamborghini is opening up its first official dealers in Mexico, with locations in Mexico City and Monterrey. With Mexico getting wealthier, thanks to both new industry (the world’s richest man is now Mexican) and some more illicit entrepreneurs setting up shop, the market for a Lamborghini showroom is now present.

The outlets are being run by Martin Josephi Wellman, an auto industry veteran who previously ran Volkswagen’s Mexican operations.  We will refrain from making jokes about sombreros, the local cuisine or gold plated weapons, even though any of these would go perfectly with a Gallardo LP-570.

What’s worse than being wrong? Being almost right. We ran a news item on the upcoming Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Spyder, aka the “Performance” , on Wednesday.

Now we get word that the car will actually be called the “Performante”, which is supposedly Italian for…Performance! Lamborghini will now follow the tradition of incredibly banal Italian car names, like the Ferrari Challenge Stradale (Challenge Street) or the Fiat Punto (Fiat Point).

Lamborghini is apparently creating an open-air version of their Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, to be known as the “Performance”.

Two black racing stripes, wheels from the closed-roof Superleggera and special glass engine cover help differentiate this car from lesser Spyders.

The car is expected to weigh 67 lbs lighter than a standard Spyder, while displacing 570 horsepower and hitting a V-max of 201 mph. Prices will allegedly begin at $255,000.

Perhaps it has something to do with being engaged to Russell Brand, or maybe it has to do with whip cream and kissing girls. Whatever it is, the results are in, and British men have spoken – they want Katy Perry to ride shotgun with them.

The pop singer, best known for her dessert-themed bras and colorful hair styles, has been voted the ultimate dream female passenger in a poll of British men by MPH, the Prestige and Performance Motor Show. And they voted for the car they’d like to take in a spin as well – the Lamborghini Gallardo.

Women got in on the voting in this survey too. They picked Twilight star Robert Pattinson as their number-one choice. And the car that really revs their engines is the Ferrari 458.

Lamborghini continues to feed us bits and pieces of information ahead of the Paris Auto Show, with their recent shot of a ten cylinder powerplant. Many people assumed that it was the Murcielago replacement, known as the Jota, but the V10 arrangement threw off many observers.

Now comes another round of teasers for an supposedly smaller product, that might replace the Gallardo. We’re not 100% sure what the new car could be, but with the Gallardo having been on the market since 2003, it might be time for a new baby Lambo.

10,000 cars is a minuscule number for most car makers. It’s thought that most major car makers (think The Big 3 or Toyota) can pump out close to that many in a day. For a specialist supercar maker, 10,000 cars is a massive amount. If any supercar was going to do it, it would be the Lamborghini Gallardo.

The Gallardo has been a smashing success for Lamborghini, spawning countless special editions since its 2003 inception, and helping Lamborghini expand to 45 countries across the world. The 10,00th Gallardo, painted Midas Yellow, will be destined for China, where “Lamborghini Day” will be celebrated on June 25th, featuring a multi-car exhibit including the 10,000th Gallardo.

For geeks who like to like to go fast, but don’t necessarily want to reach dangerous speeds on the roads, you’ll be happy to know there’s a laptop for you. ASUS unveiled its new line of Lamborghini-inspired laptops at Computex 2010, so you can look hot cruising the information highway.

Measuring in at 12.1” and 15.6” respectively, the LX6 and LX7 are sure to catch some admiring glances around the office. They’re sleek, sexy and over the top – just like the luxury automotive brand it shares a name with. Borrowing its style from the uber-hot Gallardo, the LX6 and LX7 come with a host of drool-inducing features. Also helping distinguish them as premium systems are their new glossy casing, sleek automotive adornments and chiclet keyboards. Mind-blowing visuals are brought to life thanks to the NVIDIA ION graphics platform and 512MB VRAM, while outstanding audio components were designed by Bang & Olufsen ICE power.

Although prices have yet to be released on these two beauties, bets are that they’ll come in at a lot less than the car.

Being saddled with huge installments over a long period of time is usually a hallmark of predatory mortgages or poorly-designed “As Seen On TV” exercise equipment, but for those who aspire to the finer things in life, have we got a deal for you, and you can’t get it on QVC.

Lamborghini Houston is offering a special deal on their 2009 Gallardo LP560-4 Coupes. With a 20% down payment on a base price of $198,000 (quite possibly higher, since these cars almost certainly have high-dollar options), you can then pay off the balance of the car in 144 months, at an interest rate of 3.99% (assuming you have a credit score of 720 or better). According to our rough calculations (and since no payment calculator was able to amortize payments over a period of 12 years), you will still be saddled with a hefty $1,235.97 payment every month! Best of all, by the time the car is paid for, it will look horribly dated and out-performed by a mid-sized sedan.

Of course, your monthly pound of flesh car payment gets you one of the finest exotics in the world. Ten cylinders, 560 horsepower, 8-piston Brembo brakes, the ability to lure admirers of both sexes with this cars racy good looks. Just make sure you really, really like the Gallardo and are not afraid of committing to a long-term partnership with your aluminum-bodied comare.
