Edo Competition Outdoes Itself with 227mph – 365 km/h Lamborghini Murcielago LP750


Edo Competition’s previous Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-tune was a 710HP monster capable of reaching a top speed of 352 km/h or 219 mph, which apparently made it the fastest and most powerful Murcielago in the world. Now, the German tuner has gone one step further by introducing a 750HP variant that continues on to a maximum velocity of 365 km/h (227 mph).

The other performance figures are equally impressive, as the LP750 hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.7 seconds and 300 km/h (186 mph) in 24.5 seconds.

The comprehensive engine conversion that makes all this possible includes modified cylinders, new intake system with hand-made manifold and revised air ducts, high flow air filters, reprogrammed Engine Control Unit and a high performance exhaust system. The latter is made from plasma-coated stainless steel and is also available with an optional remote controlled butterfly valve system.

The 6.5-liter V12 engine sends no less than 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) of peak torque to all four wheels through a new single plate clutch. However, Edo Competition offers a 40 kg (88 pounds) lighter rear-wheel drive version as well, which is said to be even more agile.

A 300+ km/h (186+ mph) supercar is never complete without an optimized aerodynamics package and the LP750 is no exception. Edo Competition says it has managed to find a good balance between high-speed stability and looks, and is especially proud of the revised rear wing complete with adjustable lip spoiler.

For good measure, the Germans also threw in a set of lightweight alloys, comprised of 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, shod in 265/35 and 345/30 tires respectively. Unsurprisingly, Edo Competition did not release pricing for the tune.

Mercedes Benz C63 AMG by Edo Competition

Edo Competition, the famous tuning company has take on the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG.

The most important change is the power. Obviously, engineers at Edo Competition are not satisfied with the output of the standard C63 AMG which produces 457hp and 600Nm. Underneath, Edo has installed a number of modifications.

Edo hasn’t touched the 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V8. However, the tuner made some ECU upgrades by recalibrating the unit. Other mods include a new high-performance exhaust system, exhaust headers, high-flow catalytic converters and new air filters. As a result, the power reaches 408kW (555hp) and 680Nm of torque. This will be enough to accelerate the C63 AMG from 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and see it easily reach top speed of 320km/h.

To manage the extra grip required from all that extra horsepower, a set of black lightweight 19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup high-performance tyres that measure 235/35 19 at the front and 265/30 19 at the rear is also on offer.

The exterior remains almost the same. However, the interior can be upgraded to the customer's wishes by inserting such items as special leather upholstery and other unique trims.
