BF Performance Turns the Gallardo into a GT600


BF-Performance of Zug, Swizerland, has just released a louder take on what a Lamborghini Gallardo should be. According to them, "the Swiss have higher demands...The Gallardo is too innocent and neither dynamic nor individual enough."

Uhh...right. Looks like they're serious though, because their take on the latest Gallardo results in the GT600; it's a model that slots smack dab in the middle into their Lambo lineup, right between the Gallardo-based GT540 and Murcielago-underpinned GT660.

BF's GT600 loses 43 kilos (that's 95 pounds) and picks up wing (not scissor) doors, a carbon aero-kit, and a power boost. The aero parts consist of a front splitter, skirts, rear diffuser, and a wing, while the power boost to 600 ponies is mysteriously unexplained.

Regardless, BF says their GT600 beat an SV Murcielago around the Sachsenring by 0.6 seconds. Their Gallardos can also be converted to two-wheel drive, creating a Super Balboni of sorts.

If track days are on the customer's mind, BF also provides race-day outfitting for the car. "Apart from the sports bucket seats, BF-performance also offers five-point belts, a roll-over cage and a carbon-ceramic braking system with which the GT600 meets the highest racing standards."

The car is clearly fast, and while it seems that it's kind of like an aftermarket version of the Superleggera, there's one phrase in the press release that may go slightly over the top:

"The Swiss specialist is always one step ahead of the Italian manufacturer." Bold words, fellas...
