Status Design Lamborghini Murciélago is an Alligator’s Tangerine Nightmare...


Russian tuners have a history of making unique if not tasteful supercar tuning kits. Using little more than carbon fibre, orange paint and one unlucky alligator, Moscow-based tuning outfit Status Design has taken on the Lamborghini Murciélago and boy do they not disappoint.

Featuring an (ill-fitting) hood / bonnet, door sills and rear spoiler from BF-Performance, Status Design also added a new front bumper, "headlight lashes", mirrors, side mouldings and engine cover – all carbon fibre.

Status also added a custom rear bumper, sports exhaust and black matte wheels with orange detailing to round off the exterior package.

Things only get better inside, with orange alligator leather (oh yes) and orange carbon fibre mouldings on the center stack, glove-box lid and instrument binnacle.

Status also throws in a McIntosh head unit with Helix speakers and condenser, a boot-mounted subwoofer and Audison amplifier because, let's face it, if you're driving down the street in one of these, you want people to hear you as well as see you.

No word on pricing (of course), though it's probably one of those, "If you have to ask…" things anyways.
