Edo Competition Lamborghini Murcièlago LP710 /2

Edo Competition Lamborghini Murcielago LP710 /2

Those crazy tuners out of Germany, edo competition, have modified yet another Lamborghini to insane proportions. This time, the victim was the Lamborghini Murcièlago. As if the newest Murcièlago LP640’s 631 horsepower wasn’t enough, edo has tuned it to 710 horsepower by adding new exhaust headers, a new exhaust tip, high-flow catalytic converters, new performance camshafts, new mufflers, modified cylinder heads and new high flow air filters. They’ve also tuned the ECU to deal with the increased power.

They’ve turned the Murcielago’s AWD setup into a rear wheel drive, which saves a total of 88 lbs, and improved handling. New 19″ alloy wheels, a rear wing, and a weird mascara-above-the-eyes paint job top off the exterior changes, while inside, they’ve added bare carbon fiber trim, a rear view camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

All of these modifications turn into some great performance numbers - top speed of 224 mph, 0-60 mph in about 3.2 seconds, and it can hit 124 mph in under 10 seconds. Not a bad investment if you’re tired of your boring old Murci’s dismal performance.
