DEUTSCHE MANUFAKTUR, a German designer for luxury automobiles, introduces the Reventino Styling package: A design enhancement for the Lamborghini Gallardo. The body kit that adds a Reventon look to existing Lamborghini Gallardos, features an exciting & highly engineered exterior combined with a hand stitched interior that brings a successful peace of mind to the pilot.

Deutsche decided to target Lamborghini customers that seek something a little more exclusive from an automobile that spells passion even in its original state. Thanks to Deutsche‘s Reventino Kit, Gallardo owners are now able to give their dream car a Jet-like look, similar to the much-hyped Reventon that was recently shown by Lamborghini on the IAA 2009.

The most significant difference is the newly designed front face that not only is much more aggressive due to it‘s individual spiky design but also minimizes the propulsion at the front axle. Additionally, the package is crowned with plenty of additional Carbon-Fibre parts that leave no room for disappointment: A stunning rear -diffusor & -spoiler that ensure perfect correction of drift, combined side-skirts & side-diffusors to give best roadholding, a breath-taking engine cover, airintakes and a lot more, showcasing Deutsche’s love to the material.

Performancewise, Deutsche‘s engineers were able to get 30 more horse powers out of the Gallardo. A step on the gas will now let you feel an additional 20NM of torque resulting in 381KW of performance, approximately 5% increase to the regular version. Marius Kottas, Head of Deutsche’s Marketing Department says: “The combination of luxury carbon-fiber parts with the newly designed Reventino look create a match made in heaven that will indulge existing Gallardinos as well as potential new owners. The kit will fit on both Gallardo versions, the old and the new ones.“
