For many years, Lamborghini struggled to produce a decent “entry-level” car. The Uracco and Jalpa weren’t smash hits and didn’t compliment the bigger V12 offerings very well, leading to a lot of financial trouble. They even tried working with Chrysler for a time, but that failed miserably. Then Audi came in and radically changed the operation, creating a new flagship in the Murcielago and a smaller offering in the Gallardo. This “baby” Lambo had 4WD and a V10 engine which would go on to become one of the most recognisable sounds in the car world. People couldn’t get enough and it saved the company from going under. The Gallardo featured here is the pride of Dragon Motorsport with an early Liberty Walk body kit that’s built up a strong following in recent times.
With the number plate of “GHOSTT”, you quickly get an idea of why this car is painted white. It’s not the sort of colour that a Lamborghini is painted in very often, but that’s what really makes it stand out. Moreover, the colour is a connection to the Japanese culture that Dragon Motorsport revolves around. You just know that this Lambo has been touched by hands a world away from the Italian and German boffins who put this car together. The Liberty Walk body kit isn’t the most extreme compared to their current offerings, but it’s still enough to make an impact on any stage.
Unlike the current Liberty Walk kits, the wheelarches have been left alone, preserving the clean and clear-cut lines that are a hallmark of Lamborghini designs. What hasn’t been left alone are the bumpers, sideskirts and rear wing. The front bumper has an extra lip on it and more aggressive side vents that are carbon fibre. I do like the sharp, geometric form of the vents as they match the car’s general styling. On the sideskirts, two holes are cut out towards the rear wheels – again with a mostly geometric form. Around the rear of the car, the circular exhausts exits have been replaced by 2 rectangles stacked on top of each other. It’s by far the craziest detail on this car. Under that is a different diffuser with more strakes than standard. The rear wing is far wider and taller than the standard item, emulating the one fitted to the Diablo SV. It’s all very nice indeed.
This car reminds me of Midnight Club LA because you could modify it in a very similar fashion. There was even a widebody kit… Anyway there’s still more to discuss here. The wheels are black with an interesting 7 spoke design made by Lexani, and the tyres have yellow DM lettering with a pattern that curves around the sidewall. It’s the sort of thing that Ferrari would not enjoy seeing on any of their cars. If that wasn’t enough, the brakes calipers are blue with the Lamborghini script on them. I don’t know what it is with these Dragon Motorsport cars… they’re such well rounded builds. It’s great that Lamborghini don’t believe in cease and desist letters or else we’d never see this.
I was wrong to shun this car at Motor Ex 2025. It deserved it’s own blog post then but I just relegated it to one paragraph in my event overview. That wasn’t enough for me to explain everything or talk about the level of respect I have for people who personalise their exotic supercar tastefully. The original Gallardo is arguably the most important model in the brand’s illustrious history. It’s something the streets will always remember. They will also remember the name GHOSTT because kindred spirits never go out of style.
