Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera Revealed in Geneva
Not to be outdone by its new family member, Lamborghini rolled out yet another version of its Gallardo coupe at tonight's Volkswagen group extravaganza. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera is just what the study implies — a slightly more powerful and lighter version of the standard LP 560-4.
And we do mean slightly. Peak power of the 5.2-liter V10 tops out at 562 horses while torque flattens out at 398 pound feet. The power runs through an six-speed e-gear automated manual to all four wheels with a viscous center diff and limited slip rear diff handling the distribution.
For the "superleggera" part of the equation, Lamborghini shaved a few pounds by using polycarbonate windows for the side windows, rear backlight and engine cover. Several of the exterior body panels – rear diffuser, side sills, rear spoiler — were switched to carbon fiber construction to save additional weight. All in all, the changes save 154 pounds which brings the LP 570-4's curb weight to just 2,954 pounds.
Lamborghini says this new Gallardo will go from 0-to-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 202 mph.
