With a 412kW 5.0-litre V10 engine, a 0-100kph time of four seconds, top speed of 325kph, and lines sharp enough to slice bacon, the Lamborghini Gallardo can hardly be classed as a shrinking violet.
But having been superseded by St Agata’s new V10 poster boy – the raucous Huracan – it seems the Gallardo is resorting to extreme tactics to garner attention.
Step forward Rene Turrek. With the help of some psychedelic, temperature-sensitive, colour-changing paint, the German graffiti artist is transforming humdrum Gallardos into head-scratching masterpieces of deception.
As you’ll see in the video above, a bucket of hot water sees Turrek’s Lambo instantly morph from a nice aubergine purple into a rolling, high horsepower Captain America poster.
Yes, it’s basically a Global Hypercolour t-shirt in car form. Genius? Terrible? Both? Let us know below…
