2012 Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Superleggera LP620-4 Green Beret

Wheelsandmore, a German based tuner of high end cars and exotics is making a real name for itself. Lamborghini LP620-4 "Green Beret"- "The future is green" – that's what Wheelsandmore thinks as well, but from a different perspective.

Wheelsandmore have often added a set of their own 6Sporz² wheels measuring 9×20 inches with 245/30/20 tyres in the front and 11×20 inches with 295/25/20 tyres along at the rear. Continental Sport Contact rubber was adapted to this vehicle. The rims were finished in a matte black trim with the owners request.

Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Superleggera LP620-4 Side View:

The performance of the Superleggera has been improved by adding a hand-crafted, corrosion resistant stainless steel exhaust system with remote-operated valve control, special carbon-frame airfilters along with a remapped software electronics system.

Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Superleggera LP620-4 Engine Specification:

Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Superleggera  - 5.2 liter V10 engine with 419 kW/570 hp serial and 540 Nm increased to 455 kW/620 hp and 580 Nm of torque, and in the package are also modified suspension, new exhaust system, lightweight 6

Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Superleggera LP620-4 Rear View:

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 620-4 does not mean much need correction, but the attitude has also been revised. Thanks to a special coilover suspension with adjustable rebound and compression levels, "LP620-4" can now jump over speed bumps or scrape the asphalt of the road.

That pretty much wraps it up - not an aerodynamic kit, no gills, no wings. This smooth, clean and there is nothing to prove. However, do not try to intimidate between traffic lights.
