In August 2016 we have reported about it the Carbon Revolution offers its Carbon Revolution CR-2 rims for the current BMW M87 F9 Coupé, making it an ultra-light alternative to the standard wheelset. The lightweight wheel is now also available for the Lamborghini Gallardo, which was produced from 2004-2014. But before you go to the website and fill out the order form, let us tell you that a wheel set costs at least € 17.500 (without tires)! If you consider that you can buy a 2004 model from around 70.000 € then the wheelset naturally makes a considerable surcharge. An absolute highlight, however, is the surface completely made of carbon fiber, where you can be sure that there is no foiling or decoration as is the case with many pseudo carbon rims. In addition, you have another certainty, namely that you can call one of the lightest wheel sets your own and whoever has lifted the 19 inch rims with a weight of only 7,7 kg at the front and 8,9 kg at the rear knows what I'm talking about .
The advantages of the weight savings are obvious, so the new rims ensure that the performance of the car is improved in several ways! They noticeably facilitate the control and handling of the car, they ensure a better grip of the tires, they ensure that the braking distances are shortened, of course they reduce the vehicle weight and thereby save fuel and the driving noise is also reduced. Save fuel on the Gallardo? So if you take a fuel price of around € 1,40 for the liter of super and count on fuel savings of around half a liter per 100 km, the costs would be back in after something around 2.500.000 km and the wheelset, so to speak free of charge ... I just have to know how to help with the reasoning for the purchase! 😉 Jokes aside ... Especially on 570 PS strong, and 1340 kg light, Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale should make the wheelset affordable because with such a vehicle you are certainly on the last tenth of the racetrack and at a new price of about 200.000 Then the carbon rims fall in the truest sense of the word not really significant, It's best to subscribe to our feed and if there is something new you will get in touch immediately.
