Lamborghini is creating a single make race series. The automaker will be showcasing the competition specification Gallardo LP560-4 or the Super Trofeo.

Under the hood is a 5.2 liter direct-injected V10 engine that can push out 570 horsepower through Lamborghini’s six-speed sequential gearbox. The buy-in fee for anyone who is interested is €200,000. Each race offers trackside support and parts sales. It all begins next year in May at Silverstone.

Street Legal Murcielago R-GT Racer From Reiter


Sometimes we get to see the perks of engineering used on cars in motorsports being used on a few everyday road supercars. Reiter Engineering is a factory backed motorsports company that will compete during the FIA GT1 and GT3. They recently revealed a street legal version of the Murcielago R-GT racer during the Essen Motor Show.

This supercar will feature some of the best in race-oriented modifications that will include carbon fiber front spoilers and rear wings as well as upgraded brakes, suspension components, and OZ racing wheels. The company also added on a brand new rear fascia and was able to move the exhaust system up to the rear deck lid.

There is only one model that was made. For the right amount of money you can have it for yourself – but you might have to fight for it. If you don’t want the whole thing you can always purchase the special components separate.
