Tedson Etna based on Lamborghini Gallardo

Tedson Motors is a Croatian company that converts classic sports cars into restomods, and their latest project, called Etna, is based on the first generation Lamborghini Gallardo.

In the process of creating Etna, Tedson Motors created a completely new carbon body, installed a unique bumper and hood, new sills, door panels and side air intakes, and installed LED daytime running lights instead of the original headlights. At the back, there is a new engine cover, a new bumper, a diffuser, a large ducktail spoiler, LED lights, similar to those on the Revuelto model, and additional air vents. The exhaust system has been moved to the middle, while the suspension components are borrowed from the Gallardo Super Trofeo. Thanks to the new carbon components, the car is 200 kg lighter than the original Gallardo.

In terms of the powertrain, the original 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine has been modified by installing new internal components, and the result is 600 hp, which is 80 hp more than in the Gallardo. The engine is mated to an improved version of the original 6-speed e-Gear automated transmission.

Speaking of price, the upgrade costs €800,000 plus the donor car.

Lamborghini’s new V8 engine

August 16 is approaching when Lamborghini will reveal its new car and successor to the Huracan, the Temerario. There are many unknowns about the car, and now a video has appeared that reveals the sound of its V8 engine.

According to the latest information, the Lamborghini Temerario will be powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 800 hp (596 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque combined with three electric motors, totaling over 900 hp (671 kW ). The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

At the beginning of the video, a Lamborghini Gallardo is shown with which begins the transformation to a Huracan and a 5.2-L V10 engine. The rev counter goes over 10,000 rpm and then the red warning lights come on, which emphasizes the arrival of the V8 engine and the Lamborghini Temerario.

The car is still covered in camouflage, and what can be seen in the spy photos is a sharper design of the front fascia, thin headlights and hexagonal daytime running lights, a more aggressive intake, and a centrally mounted exhaust system. Also, the interior of the car is similar to the Rivuelto model, which suggests that it could be equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch infotainment system and a 9.1-inch screen for the passenger.
