Track Cred: Reiter’s LP560 GT3

Reiter Engineering of Germany has taken upon itself the role as Lamborghini’s preferred race-spec tuner.  With no factory effort, Reiter has been modifying productions Lambos for decades–earning GT victories from France to Japan.  The latest work is a GT3-class Gallardo LP560.  The GT3 features a tuned 5.2 L V-10 with 570 hp at 8,000 rpm.  Weight has been cut to just 2,620 lbs. thanks to an aluminum chassis and more carbon fiber paneling.  A Halinger geabox is provided and gives racers even quicker shifts than the standard Audi unit.  The final pricing for the LP560 GT3 is €265,000; a GT2 upgrade is available for €295,000.
