This restomod supercar, based on the Lamborghini Gallardo, draws its inspiration from Etna, one of the largest volcanos in Europe.
Designed by a Croatian tuner, this Lambo Gallardo was created with a very simple but straightforward objective.
Tedson Motors, the company behind this build, simply wanted to make a great car, the Gallardo, even better.
They managed, but the price is shocking.

This restomod is a newer, more powerful Lamborghini Gallardo
The Gallardo is one of Lambo’s best-selling models, so there was not a lot that needed fixing.
Having said that, it is a car that’s now 20 years old, so some of its tech was a bit obsolete.
In order to make it a bit better, Tedson modified the roofline, and gave it a ducktail rear wing and titanium exhausts.
It worked because it still looks like a Gallardo, but like a Lambo that’s 10 years younger than it actually is.
Like that one guy from college who someone still looks like he’s 35 even though he’s in his 50s.
The engine is still Lambo’s 5.0-liter V10 but it now produces 600 horsepower, which is 80 more than the standard model.
It all sounds good so far, but there’s a massive catch, and that’s the price.
As per usual, restomods need a donor car, which means you’re going to have to BYOL, Bring Your Own Lambo.
On top of that, Tedson will ask anywhere between $750,000 and $800,000.
What’s the story with all these restomods
A restomod is blanket term generally used for classic cars reengineered and modified to fit the modern world.
So many companies are creating restomods at the moment.
You’ve got restomods based on the Porsche 911, and the Maserati Shamal, and there’s even one that combines a Jeep Wagoneer and a Ferrari.
The answer probably has something to do with modern cars, supercars, and electric cars.
There’s certainly an appetite for cars that purists appreciate.
It’s a wide audience, but a relatively small market, which explains why most of these cars are produced in small numbers.
Then again, they’re also almost always sold out immediately, so maybe the market is bigger than we think.
