Prior Design is a German tuner that specializes on the development of bespoke aerodynamic kits, alloy wheels, and exhaust systems for a variety of cars ranging from the MINI hatchback all the way up to Lamborghini models such as the 2003-2008 Gallardo, which is the company's latest object of desire.

Which is precisely what happened to a driver of what appears to be a fairly stock Lamborghini Gallardo during a recent racing event called 'Formula GT500 Copa' that took place in Medellin, the second largest city in the Republic of Colombia.

Among the ten cars that took part in the race were a 1,500hp Lamborghini Gallardo Nera TT, a 900hp Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 9, a 700hp Nissan GT-R and a 1,000hp Porsche 911 Turbo.
