Designer of Original Lamborghini Gallardo Unveils HOMMAGE 26, A Modern Twist on Classic Design
Fabrizio Giugiaro returns to his roots with the HOMMAGE 26, a limited-edition vehicle that pays homage to the iconic Gallardo while incorporating modern design elements.
In a nod to automotive history, renowned designer Fabrizio Giugiaro has unveiled the HOMMAGE 26, a new take on the classic Lamborghini Gallardo he originally designed nearly three decades ago. This latest creation showcases a blend of nostalgia and innovation, featuring pop-down headlights and active aero flaps, which add a contemporary flair to its exterior 12.
The HOMMAGE 26 retains some visual cues from the original Gallardo, especially in its front end, creating a familiar yet updated look 2. However, the design is not merely a replication; only five components from the original Gallardo are incorporated into the new model: the roof, side windows, windshield, side mirrors, and their bases 2.
Under the hood, the HOMMAGE 26 boasts a modified 5.0-liter V10 engine, capable of delivering either 540 or 560 horsepower, ensuring it packs a powerful punch 2. This engine choice underscores the balance between heritage and performance that Giugiaro sought to achieve.
Each of the 25 units set to be produced will start life as a first-generation Gallardo, making the transformation process both unique and personal 2. The cost of this bespoke vehicle is estimated at around $1 million, not including the donor car and any additional options chosen by the buyer 2.
This project represents more than just a design exercise for Giugiaro; it’s a chance to revisit and refine a beloved creation, offering enthusiasts a glimpse into the evolution of automotive design and engineering.
