DMC and the New Gallardo SOHO With COR Wheels


At the beginning of the 2000s, Lamborghini was struggling to increase sales and return to the super car world stage with a new car. The Italian automaker was able to create the Gallardo, an all-wheel drive, V-10 powered, mid-engined super car that offered great performance, better reliability, and could be a daily driver. The first-generation models have since been replaced by a newer and arguably better second-generation model in 2008, and a new, final-edition model was introduced in 2012 at the Paris Motor Show. The new models left the first-generation Gallardo looking very dated, so the team at DMC Exotic Car Tuning Limited in Germany created a full carbon fiber body kit that gives the first-generation models from 2002-2008 an updated look like the current models as well as new COR Wheels and interior upgrades.
The entire exterior of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 was redesigned to feature updated aerodynamics and styling to make them look more uniform with the second- and third-generation models. The first addition to the Italian super car is a new front bumper made entirely from lightweight carbon fiber. The bumper draws air in through two larger intakes and a bigger center intake in order to cool the front brakes that sit behind the new COR Wheels. The bumper also utilizes an integrated spoiler lip to improve downforce at high speeds and reduce front-axle lift. A set of side skirts help to calm the airflow around the new set of COR Wheels and reduces drag for a slightly better top speed capability. The rear of the super car was given a new carbon fiber spoiler that sits atop the engine cover and a new diffuser insert that integrates the stock exhaust system and reduces lift at the rear axle. The final touches were a new set of updated carbon fiber side mirrors and subtle badges found throughout the body of the super car.
The next step for DMC Exotic Car Tuning Limited was to remove the factory rims and tires and replace them with lighter units that matched the overall theme of the car with the updated styling kit. The team opted for new lightweight forged COR Wheels with a monoblock construction in a 9.5 x 20 setup at the front and rear axle with high-performance Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires for better grip.
The interior can also be upgraded to suit any customer's tastes. The German company offers a wide range of leather, carbon fiber, wood, and alcantara fittings that can be hand-stitched in a variety of designs.
The new SOHO body kit is designed for the first-generation 2002-2008 Lamborghini Gallardo models. Pricing for the entire kit has not been released.
