Tuner Special: Imsa Murcielago LP640

BRUEGGEN, Germany — The German engineering firm with the racy name, Imsa, first made its mark by transforming various editions of the Lamborghini Gallardo. Now the company has turned its attention to the Gallardo's big brother, the Murciélago LP640.

Imsa has adapted carbon-fiber technology from F1 and the world of motorsports to create an aero package for the range-topping Lambo, with a companion kit soon to be available for the standard Murciélago.

Constructed of molded carbon fiber, the Imsa kit includes a front apron, wider wheel arches, front fenders with integral air ducts, side skirts, rear diffuser and spoiler. Imsa says the result is increased downforce and greater high-speed stability.

The tuner also offers multipiece sport wheels, suspension upgrades and a variety of engine modifications. Each car is hand-crafted, inside and out, to the customer's personal specifications.

What this means to you: One answer to critics' oft-voiced complaint that the Murciélago's styling is too bland. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
