Lamborghini Unveils Its Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera
By Chris Weiss
Automakers approaching a major auto show are a little like kids on Christmas Eve: they just can’t wait until the day is officially here. Lamborghini is the latest automaker to introduce a Geneva centerpiece a little early. The Raging Bull has provided the full details of its spanking-new, lightning-fast Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, which loses weight and gains power and performance.
Lamborghini has broken the 3,000-lb. mark, cutting the weight of the Superleggera down to 2,954 lbs through the use of generous amounts of carbon fiber and polycarbonate. It also adds a modest 10 horses to the car by tuning the engine management software. The Superleggera uses a six-speed e-gear transmission.
The Superleggera is the fastest Gallardo out there, reaching 62 in 3.4 seconds on its way to a 202 top speed.
Other features include a more aerodynamic body courtesy of an optional larger rear spoiler, redesigned front bumper and new rear diffuser; 19-inch alloy wheels rolled in Pirellis and titanium wheel nuts. See it in the carbon below. [via LeftLaneNews]
