Lamborghini Gallardo

The Gallardo LP560-4 features mores aggressive styling and more powerwhen compared to the standard Gallardo. Most apparent in the front is new headlights, a third air inlet in the middle as well as an additional inlet on the side right in front of the wheels.  The back is where the makeover is most noticeable with wider, shorter tail lights, quad exhaust, and a completely redesigned rear bumper.  Last but certainly not least is the stunning new wheels that really show off the LP560-4's gigantic breaks.   

The Gallardo Superleggera is the no compromises all out racing version of the Gallardo.  With an additional 10 horses and weight reduction of 154 lbs., the Gallardo is even faster and more fun to drive.  Lamborghini engineers decreased the Lamborghini Gallardo’s already low weight by using advanced materials and technologies.

The engine hood is made of visible carbon fiber and transparent polycarbonate, a type of material that guarantees lightness and also shows off the magnificent V10. The rear diffuser and underbody covering, the rearview mirrors, door panels and the central tunnel’s covering are also made of carbon fiber. Further reductions in weight were achieved by replacing certain glass surfaces with transparent polycarbonate.

For the interior, monocoque carbon fiber sports seats covered in Alcantara were chosen to ensure restraint of the driver and passenger during the intense lateral accelerations that the Gallardo Superleggera is capable of achieving around curves. 

The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera’s engine is the latest version of Lamborghini’s well-known 4,961 ccm V10. The increase in power (to 530 bhp) was made possible by the engine’s improved volumetric efficiency through reduced intake load losses and by exhaust backpressures, together with optimized electronic control.

The open top version of the Gallardo helps cancel out the added weight by featuring a power boost up to 520 HP.  Good for a 0-62MPH of 4.3 seconds and 195MPH top speed. 

The roof raising/lowering system of the Gallardo Spyder is based on an electronic control system with electrohydraulic actuators. The roof raising/lowering mechanism is extremely simple to operate by way of two push-buttons on the centre of the dashboard. And the whole operation takes just over 20 seconds.

The rear screen moves automatically while the roof is being opened or closed. This automatically-controlled movement always returns the screen to the raised position. The driver can also choose to have the screen in the lowered position (also with the roof raised) by pressing the appropriate button on the dashboard. There is also a "service function" that positions the roof so as to allow access to the engine.
