Naturally creating a low riding masterpiece like this isn’t easy and takes time … however time is something the people at Optimus Performance didn’t have as they wanted to get this Raging Bull ready for the 2015 SEMA show that opens its doors for the public next week … this specific black Bull will be shown at the DUB Liberty Walk booth no less, so perfection would only be just good enough.

As a basis Optimus Performance started with a pre-2008 Lamborghini Gallardo, the original 5 Liter 500 hp V10 model, by installing their very own, custom fabricated race exhaust system they already gained 25whp … dyno proven by the way … the impressive flames are a nice added touch.

The kit installed by Optimus Performance is in fact the very first entire Liberty Walk kit for the Lamborghini Gallardo, complete with lower rear diffuser wings, in the world, and naturally it requires the original body to be almost completely stripped from the car … on its own already an intimidating feat I’m sure, but the best was yet to come … cutting the fenders to allow room for those massive Rotiform wheels with magnificent Toyo tires on them, 9×19 inch up front and ultra wide 12×19 inch at the rear.

When building the first full Liberty Walk wide body Gallardo you just can’t discard the fact you will need an air ride suspension … and Optimus Performance went for the Accuair unit so this wide body V10 rides as low as she can go, with those massive 295/30 ZR19 R888 Toyo tires nicely tucked into the large fenders at the rear, note the white lettering on this black rubber comes from Treadwear tire letters.

The complete front bumper has been replaced by the Liberty Walk unit, but also the lower fins on this new bumper are installed, making the front even lower than normal, at the side we immediately notice the four wide fenders being fitted with gold finished rivets while the Liberty Walk side sills connect the front wheels to the rear ones … around the back the extremely low rear diffuser almost impresses as much as that stupendously beautiful carbon fiber rear wing … the gold details and lettering on this shiny black Gallardo works very well while that quartet of chrome exhaust tips are the icing on the cake.

Note that the paint on this Gallardo isn’t a regular black, not even a standard metallic black, Optimus Performance actually had real gold flakes added to the black paint to create an even more impressive shine … note that the brake calipers have been color coded … but received 10 times more gold flakes than the bodywork itself.

Naturally creating a car like this can’t be done overnight or without the help of suppliers to bring it all together in the end, Optimus Performance would like to thank their sponsors for all their help: Liberty Walk, Kuconnection, Toyo tires, Treadware tire letters, Rotiform and Diode Dynamics.

Make sure to visit the DUB Liberty Walk booth #62114 at the 2015 SEMA show and admire this work of art in real life …

That’s right, the predecessor to the Lamborghini Huracan isn’t bound to be forgotten if Kato-san can help it, and with a total of 14,022 Gallardo having been built in Italy the market for a wide body LB Works kit is larger than any other Lamborghini kit they offer (about 4,000 Murcielago, over 4,000 Aventador and over 3,200 Huracan up to date) … so an LB Works Gallardo makes perfect sense for an artisan like Kato-san.

The LB Works Gallardo by LB Performance comes as a complete kit at $23,000 according to a price list on the Liberty Walk Japanese website, with a new front bumper, front diffuser, side sills, rear diffuser, version 3 rear wing and naturally four wide fenders … no painting, no mounting included, and I think installing those wide fenders will once again require some cutting into the original wheel arches, and that’s an action you shouldn’t take lightly if you don’t have a workshop with competent people.

The Liberty Walk website also lists the parts of the kit separately … albeit the four wide fenders aren’t listed as a stand-alone part, perhaps you can’t order these outside of the entire LB Works kit:

The new LB Performance Type II front bumper in FRP is listed at $5,300
The LB Performance side sills in FRP are $2,850
LB Performance offers two versions of the rear diffuser:
Side sills in FRP at $3,350
Side sills in CRFP at $4,250
Same for the Type I rear wing from LB Performance
Rear wing Type I in FRP at $3,400
Rear wing Type I in CRFP at $4,300
LB Performance rear wing Type II in CRFP at $6,200
LB Performance rear wing Type III in FRP at $4,300
LB Performance stainless steel exhaust tips are $1,680

The very special Airrex air ride suspension kit for the Lamborghini Gallardo is listed at $7,900, but really a must-have to get the look Kato-san has envisioned for the LB Works Gallardo, low and wide.

At the moment there are only 3D digital renders available for this wide body Gallardo kit, and while it surely isn’t the first ‘wide’ Gallardo version (IMSA took that honor with their Gallardo GTV and Hamann created the Gallardo Victory and Victory II) this LB Works Gallardo is one of the most aggressive looking, especially with that massive race inspired rear wing.

Now LB Performance does list three types of rear wing on their Gallardo kit, so I guess one of these will be that special ‘Duck’ tail seen on the Huracan and Ferrari 458 versions from LB Works … which do look amazing if you ask me.

So if you own one of those 14,022 Gallardo that left the factory doors between 2003 and 2014 you might be interested into converting her into an LB Works Gallardo …

PS : prices are actual upon date of publishing, they might have changed, so do get in touch with LB Performance for an up to date price list and availability of the LB Works Gallardo parts.
