Reiter Engineering builds Gallardo GT3 for the street

Reiter Engineering known to has the speciality and expertise to turn road cars into race cars and then back into road cars. The factory-supported Lamborghini race team, which also recently built a street-legal variant of their Murcielago R-GT that competes in the FIA GT1 and European Le Mans Series, is now offering a road version of their Gallardo GT3 racecar. The Gallardo GT3 racecar is based on the standard Gallardo with the 5.0L V10. The car is fitted with carbon fiber bodywork including fenders that have been widened 60mm, a new front fascia with "shark" style air ducts, side skirts and a large carbon fiber wing at the rear. Besides that, Reiter Engineering does upgrade the exhaust system by using a single large center-mounted to reduce weight by nine kg and added an extra ten horsepower, while new three-piece alloy wheels are wrapped with ultra sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 2 rubber.

The interior stays relatively stock, although the stock seats have been replaced with leather-covered racing units. While we wouldn't say the result is subtle, it's definitely one of the cleaner designs we've seen.
