Tuner Special: Paret Puts Gallardo in the Pink

    0 Ratings
    VIGNEUX-SUR-SEINE, France — It has a certain je ne sais quoi, and that's probably enough said. The French tuner Paret has modified a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 with the interesting touch of pink brake calipers. Thankfully, Paret left the rip-roaring 5.2-liter V10 engine as he found it.

    The all-wheel-drive Lamborghini still makes 560 horsepower from the V10 engine, reaches 60 mph in less than 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 200 mph. Now it also gets Asanti Diamond alloy wheels, pink brake calipers, carbon-fiber inserts in the front spoiler and door handles and a set of carbon-fiber side skirts. The body's appearance is inspired, says tuner Jeremie Paret, by the Lamborghini Reventon. Inside, leather-and-Alcantara seats and an Alpine/Focal in-car entertainment system complete the look.

    Jeremie Paret is formerly an automotive journalist who edited the French enthusiast publication Modify. Not surprisingly given his media background, Paret offers a blog to keep customers apprised of their order's progress.

    No prices have been announced for the Paret Lamborghini. More on this and other projects from his fledgling firm can be found at Paret's Web site.
