The Vorsteiner BMW 7 Series package consists of several components made from carbon fiber that will make BMW’s flagship sedan a lot sportier.

BF Performance has released a new tuning package for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 that includes both styling and performance upgrades. The BF Performance Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 features a new aerodynamics package entirely made from carbon fiber that consists of a new front spoiler, side skirts, a rear diffuser, new air inlets and a rear wing.

The car tuners worked a lot on reducing the car’s already pretty light weight and by using a lot of carbon fiber components they manage to reduce the total weight by up to 43 kg. This weight reduction, combined with a couple of tweaks made under the hood result in a stronger performance.

BF Performance hasn’t released any performance figures of their version of the Gallardo LP560-4 but apparently this car is faster than a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4 SV by 0.6 seconds which means the upgrades done to the car’s performances are pretty impressive.

Engineers from BF Performance also installed new sports bucket seats, a new steering wheel, door handles and ventilation grids made in carbon fiber, a new roll cage and a carbon ceramic braking system.
