Tamed Fury - The world of high-performance automobiles has always been defined by a pursuit of power, precision, and exclusivity. Among the many names that have left their mark, some stand out not just for their engineering but for their passion in reshaping what’s possible. Tedson Motors, a Zagreb-based coachbuilder, has done just that with the stunning Tedson Motors Etna, a reimagined take on the Lamborghini Gallardo that takes the iconic supercar to a whole new level.

At first glance, the Etna commands attention with its widened stance and lower profile, giving it an even more aggressive presence. The front has been extensively redesigned, with the removal of side bumper vents and the addition of revised Teledial alloys. Larger inlets ahead of the rear arches not only add to its visual drama but also enhance aerodynamics, ensuring it looks as fast as it moves.

However, the real transformation happens at the rear, where a body-colored roof cover seamlessly integrates with a ducktail rear wing. This design evolution extends to the exhaust system, featuring striking custom titanium pipes, and an entirely new lighting signature that sets the Etna apart from its donor car.

Beyond aesthetics, Tedson Motors has also refined the mechanical heart of the machine. The naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V10 now produces an impressive 600bhp—an 80bhp increase over the standard Gallardo—while its redline has been pushed to a thrilling 10,000rpm. With a focus on preserving the manual versions of the Gallardo, Tedson exclusively works with automatic models for the Etna, ensuring that enthusiasts who appreciate traditional gearboxes will still have untouched examples of the original.

The engineering enhancements don’t stop there. Borrowing suspension components from the track-focused Gallardo Super Trofeo, the Etna offers improved handling dynamics. Carbon fiber has been extensively utilized throughout the body, chassis, and interior, leading to a remarkable weight reduction of nearly 200kg. This painstaking transformation took approximately three years of development, a testament to Tedson’s commitment to excellence.

Goran Turkic, the head of Tedson Motors, perfectly captured the philosophy behind the Etna: the desire to create a lighter, stronger, and more engaging supercar while preserving the analogue essence of the first-generation Gallardo. In an age where digital interfaces and hybrid powertrains dominate, the Etna stands as a rare homage to pure driving emotion.
For those interested in owning this unique creation, the transformation requires not only a donor Gallardo but also a substantial investment of at least £625,000. The final cost varies based on custom finishes and materials, and the conversion process itself takes roughly a year to complete. Yet, for those who seek something truly exceptional, the Tedson Motors Etna is more than just a modified Gallardo—it is a statement of craftsmanship, passion, and automotive artistry. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TEDSON MOTORS | MOTOR1 | TOPGEAR | CARANDDRIVER | CARBUZZ ]
