Enhancing exclusivity

Not many tuners dare to touch the Lamborghinis, but the few who do (Hamann, Edo) do so with great respect for the supercar icon. Imsa, a German high-tech engineering specialist, has developed an Autoclave moulded carbon fibre technology- and design-package for the 'devil' of the Lamborghini line-up. Autoclave moulding is normally a process reserved for F1 and other high-end motorsport racing.

The aggressive new front spoiler aligns perfectly to the, by 35 mm widened, wheel arches. On the upper side of the wheel arches imsa has added air ducts resulting in a reduction of the drag effect caused by non-aerodynamic airflow at higher (and top) speeds. The imsa side skirts garantees optimum airflow to the new rear diffuser which has been developed for a perfect interaction with the imsa rear spoiler.

There is no mention on pricing, but you know what they say, if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it.

The brand new imsa technical and aerodynamic-enhancement program for the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Imsa, the world-acclaimed, German High-Tech Engineering specialist, exclusively presents, after successfully introducing the stunning imsa GTV Supercar based on all versions of the Lamborghini Gallardo, its new technology and design-enhancement program for Lamborghini's current top-of-the-range supercar, the Murcielago LP640.

Special emphasis must be laid on the technology- and design-package made from Autoklav moulded carbon fibre. Technology which is normally only being used in Formula 1 and other Top-motorsports Series.

Imsa's main target was, for all owners of the Lamborghini top-of-the-range-model, to offer an exclusive product line, transforming the Murcielago both technically and optically into a unique work of art, with the aim of significantly enhancing the exclusivity of Lamborghini's top-model.

The strinkingly aggressive and aerodynamically highly effective front apron (spoiler) perfectly aligned to the wheel arches (widened 35mm on each side), directly becomes apparent.

On the upper side of the wheel arches, imsa CFK air ducts have been integrated, resulting in a significant reduction of the drag effect caused by non-aerodynamic airflow at higher and highest velocity.

The imsa side-skirts on the underside guarantee the optimum airflow to the imsa diffuser, which has been developed for an aerodynamically perfect interaction with the imsa rear spoiler. Imsa herewith achieved to considerably lower the downforce at higher and highest speeds.

The benefits for the driver are a significant enhancement of driving stability, safety and enjoyment. All parts of the imsa-aerodynamic-enhancement program are either available in carbon-on-sight or can be painted in any colour of choice.

The imsa aerodynamic-enhancement-program is available from November 2007 on and will soon be available for the "standard" Murcielago as well.

The imsa technical enhancement program also includes - exactly as for the imsa GTV Supercar based on the Lamborghini Gallardo - exclusive imsa multi-part sports wheels with central locking system, various sports chassis with individual settings, and, last but not least, various imsa engine modifications and own engines.

At imsa, each customer is fully involved in the creation of his personal, unique imsa-Megacar handcrafted according to highest German standards of quality and precision.

Additionally, personalised tailor-made interiors inclusive of various multi-media applications are also being fitted on special request.

I hate the vents, they make the car look so cheap, like as in the Saleen S7.

i guess its a matter of opinion. saleen really does overdo it with those vents. Im really not that much for tuners in general; i think that car manufacturers know what they're doing and have specific reasons for making cars look the way they are, and tuners (except for AMG, M, etc..) shouldn't mess around with the original designs.

the Porsche 959 zips as fast but it's designers were so CLASSY,LUXURIOUS,REFINED and TEUTONICALLY - EFFICIENT,they did not have to resort to using these blatantly vulgar air intake/extraction vents the way Lamborghini carelessly did.

Foxhound, I hear ya man, but some of these guys don't appreciate jack shit unless it's from germany and it's pretty obvious when you read further into the other sections of WCF.

I reminds me of the old Cizeta Moroder V16T from the 90s. May be it's the color and all the slits.
