It never ceases to amaze us how many people are out there for whom a car as perfect as the Lamborghini Murcielago is simply not enough. That’s where tuners like Japan’s Premier4509 step in, developing a range of aerodynamic performance enhancements, wheel and tire packages and interior mods.
The new kit is limited to just 300 sets worldwide and will feature a numbered serial plate. The complete package includes a full front bumper with a boxed bumper support system, side skirts and a rear bumper with optional adjustable rear spoiler.
The pieces are manufactured with a combination of composites made of carbon fiber and cheaper fibreglass, and all are hand crafted by a select team of engineers in Japan. Despite this, the $28,000 asking price is a bit steep considering it’s just a bodykit.
Next year Premier4509 plans to expand its range and will offer new kits for more Lamborghini models as well as for Bentley, Aston Martin and Maserati.
The regular plain old Murcielago was the most amazing car I have ever driven. Every piece of it was a work of art.
But it can kill you in an instant. I think I’m a decent driver, I can powerslide a car, had many track days, never an accident in 20+ years, that sort of thing, but this car outright scared me. It’s limits are so high, and there is no warning that you are approaching them, so I never did…
I was like that in a colleagues RUF 911 Turbo Gus….the limits are an area that i just didnt have the balls to test…they are just so powerful…
As for the above car…i hope they supply extra front spoilers as part of the package because the person driving it will need to replace it every single day…
The one I drove had a little button that raised the front 3 inches as long as you were doing under 10mph. I assume they still have it, but you are right, not really a real world car, is it?
world car?? no way…
any way you look at it though, is that if someone was to stump up the cash for it they would wrap it up in cotton wool….as do most people who buy the exotica that we all dream to own !
