Breaking new ground in the world of restomods, Tedson Motors expands its restorative services into the realm of Lamborghini, reaffirming its place among the rarest echelon of modern coachbuilders.
After years of loving, driving, analyzing, and building cars, they were inspired to channel their passion into reinterpreting an Italian supercar legend. They remastered the iconic Lamborghini Gallardo under the code name ETNA, celebrating raw mechanical purity, emotional expression, and cutting-edge design.
The first-generation Gallardo stood out for its naturally aspirated even-firing 5.0L V10 engine, hydraulic steering, and available manual gearbox-a rare formula in today’s digital supercar age. The goal with ETNA was clear: make it lighter, stronger, and more responsive while enhancing its analog soul. Tedson infused it with F1-inspired performance, a 10,000+ RPM redline, and an aesthetic tribute to Lamborghini’s past icons, blended seamlessly with Tedson’s own design philosophy
Weight reduction
- Full carbon fiber body
- Custom carbon fiber seats
- Lightweight titanium exhaust
- Track-inspired suspension components adapted from the Gallardo GT3 and Super Trofeo race cars
- The result is a weight reduction of 200kg (approx. 450 lbs), dramatically lowering the center of gravity and transforming driving dynamics.
Handling
Track width has been increased by 6cm across both axles for greater stability, with wider tires maximizing grip. Partnering once again with JRZ Suspension (Netherlands), developers of our Daydream 911 suspension and Gallardo GT3 Cup systems, we created a bespoke PROactive suspension setup tailored for ETNA.
Even-Firing V10 Reinvented
At the heart of ETNA lies the revered first-generation Lamborghini-developed 5.0L even-firing V10—famous for its unmistakable howl. Tedson re-engineered the internals and intake system, pushing output beyond 600 horsepower and unleashing a 10,000+ RPM redline. A custom titanium exhaust system amplifies the sound to evoke the Golden Era of Formula 1.
Bespoke Details & Interior Craftsmanship
ETNA’s bespoke wheels are pieces of art developed by AL13 Wheels, a great California-based manufacturer whose R110 19” wheels are made in a custom offset for our program, greatly fitting the design philosophy and vibe of the whole car. Tedson is taking Etna’s interior to a new level, modernizing it while retaining the analog and classic feel, focusing on the quality of the materials and pure driving emotion, featuring bespoke carbon fiber seats and many unique interior solutions which we will present at the time of our Global Premiere in early 2026.
The Philosophy Behind ETNA
In a rapidly evolving automotive landscape dominated by hybrid and electric powertrains, car enthusiasts increasingly crave raw, analog experiences. ETNA was born from this, combining timeless design, mechanical purity, and cutting-edge engineering into a tailored, driver-focused masterpiece.
Limited Edition Serial production
ETNA will be produced in a Limited Series of only 77 bespoke commissions. The Launch Edition Series features 9 cars with deliveries starting in the Fall of 2026, while the remaining 68 cars start production in the Fall of 2026. Each ETNA undergoes a 12-month bespoke build process. Clients can select from exterior finishes, paint-to-sample (PTS) colors, naked carbon fiber, custom weave patterns, and unique interior materials and technologies.
