The Lamborghini Gallardo is the latest vehicle to be targeted by Slovenian exhaust specialist Akrapoic, which has released a slip-on exhaust system for the Raging Bull’s most popular model.
The new exhaust can be ordered for the LP560-4, LP560-4 Spyder, LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, LP570-4 Superleggera, and the LP570-4 Performante.
Since we are talking about a titanium development, we not also get more muscle (the goodies squeezes out an extra 15 hp and 27 Nm/ 20 lb-ft from the V10 engine), but we also receive a diet of 18 kg. The tailpipes are made of carbon and driver can play with the sweet sound using an optional kit that includes wireless-controlled valves.
In case you want to gift your Gallardo with such a goodies, be prepared to spend around EUR5,200 on it, with the optional wireless kit available for EUR390.
"The bi-mode system gives the exhaust a dual personality. At lower engine speeds and during cruise operation, the valves are closed. This provides a deeper and sharper exhaust note, but subdued enough for daily use without any concerns about drone. At wide-open throttle, the valves open, releasing the full fury of the engine. By adding the optional wireless kit, which includes an active in-car control unit, the driver can override the valves and open them fully at any time. Once opened, a racing-inspired sound level is produced from idle to redline," a company statement reads, explaining how the valve control function works.
