Lamborghini Gallardo V12 Engine Swap Has Exposed Engine Compartment, Huge Wing

Rememeber the days when we had to rely on hand drawings for plans that could serve as the starting point of wacky builds or at least cater to our day-dreaming needs? Well, those times are well behind us, with the rendering realm being densly populated these days. In fact, I've brought along an example that shows just how effervescent the render realm is these days, with the adventure involving a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Now, if you're experiencing deja vu when checking out the pixel play that brought us here, that's probably because we're looking at a fresh take on a project we've already discussed.

Frankly, it looks like Yasid Oozear, the digital artist behind the work, changed the color or the body/rims and not much else.

Then again, when we're talking about a project as wild as this one, there's no need to further refinement. For one thing, this Gallardo builds on the rear bumper delete trend that has taken over the Lamborghini aftermarket kingdom, mostly regarding V10 models.

The engine bay of the Sant'Agata Bolognese machine is now fully exposed. The purpose is to expose the engine swap that saw this Gallardo gaining a pair of cylinders.

And seeing an exposed Lamborghini V12 only makes me think of a real-world project that shocked the world last year. I'm talking about the Lamborghini Espada Hot Rod built by French gear head Alexandre Danton, which ended up spending quite a bit of time in the US before landing on eBay with a price of $750,000.

As for the fixed rear wing adorning the posterior of this Italian exotic, this possibly reflects the fact that more and more Lamborghini owners are adding such aero elements to their machines, perhaps in search of the factory wing look that defines the Gallardo Superleggera or the Huracan Performante.
