Lamborghini's New Powerhouses

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale


One of the latest machines out of Automobili Lamborghini's Factory is their so called ''limited edition'' 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale, another of the 570-4 series. The car has pretty much the same amount of horsepower as it's brothers, the Spyder Performante and Superleggera.

Lamborghini says it's the most extreme Gallardo ever, but surprisingly you can use it on the road. The car is based on the very successful Blackpain Super Trofeo (the enormous rear spoiler!), and was revealed on September 12, 2011 at IAA Frankfurt Auto Show. Available only in the historical ''Rosso Mars'' paint job, just 150 copies of this Lambo will be built.

Under the hood the supercar sports a V-10 engine, providing 561 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Coupled to it is a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox, providing an acceleration to 100 km/h in 3,4 seconds. In addition, the car packs the punch with a top speed of 320 km/h, just 5 km/h less than the Superleggera.


Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder


The guys over at Sant'Agata Bolognese have focused on a rear axle driving style and reworking the dynamics of the LP-550-2 Spyder, so that the convertible version of Valentino Balboni's supercar is just perfect.

A light electronic hard-top helps the LA Auto Show revealed car weigh an impressive 3,351 pounds. Due to this, acceleration to 100km/h is done in 4,2 seconds, while top speed is reached at 319 km/h.

Such great acceleration and speed achieved in a roofless car is thanks to a 550 horsepower V10 engine and a 6-speed gearbox, providing optimal performance.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster Confirmed via US EPA Organization



Thanks to the USA's fueleconomy.gov, we now know for sure that there will be a roadster version of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, debuting as early as the beginning of next year.

Lamborghini has not officially confirmed the open-top model, but this is what we saw under 2012 Lamborghini models via the US EPA Organization: the Lamborghini Aventador Coupe and the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster.

The Aventador Roadster will get an EPA fuel-economy rating of 11/17 mpg (city/highway) or 13 mpg combined. It's suggested that a 6.5 liter V12 engine producing 690hp linked to a seven-speed gearbox will be under the hood.

We can expect to see the LP700-4 Roadster in Geneva in March 2012 or in Paris in September 2012.

Aventador Renderings Part 4: Aventador Polizia





Hey, wait! Remember two weeks ago when we posted a three-part segment of rendered Lamborghini Aventadors, well we are adding one more part to it, because this rendering deserves some attention.

As you might already know, a few Raging Bulls have been transformed into police cars in Italy. They are called Lamborghini Polizia. Anyway, the guys over at Milanno Artworks and CarreraDesign have worked together to create this Aventador Polizia.

Some additions are a defibrillator and refrigerated container for the transport of organs. LED technology police lights are hidden under the air intakes and on the dashboard.

Enjoy the photos!

Aventador Renderings Part 3: Tuned by Milano



This last post about Lamborghini Aventador renderings will probably be the most interesting one of the three.

Recently, a forum member at GtSpirit.com found photos of a tuned Aventador parked in Italy. According to the photos, the car has rims measuring 20 or 21 inches, different side skirts and a lower rear spoiler. These photos look like the same cars that were photographed in this mysterious series of photos posted on a picture-sharing website.

To add the suspense, there was a photo posted on exoticsonroad.com showing the rear spoiler moving upwards or downwards on the German Autobahn. There is also an available video here (click on this last sentence).


Aventador Renderings Part 2: WildSpeed


WildSpeed is know world-wide for their realistic renderings of cars. They are one of the most known forumers on TeamSpeed.com.

They have recently spiced up the Lamborghini Aventador to give it a more aggressive look. They added side air inlets, massive rear wing and an air scoop on the roof.




They have also rendered the Aventador to be topless, and you can view those photos by clicking on this last sentence!

Aventador Renderings Part 1: LP800-4 SV



Welcome to our 3-part segment of rendered Lamborghini Aventadors. In these posts, we will be showing you what we think are the coolest ideas of differently-looking Lambos. Enjoy!

Our first renderings come the from the all-famous guys over at Top Gear, who decided to show the automotive world what the Lamborghini SV and Aventador would look like; combined! The pictures are the work Top Gear’s rendering guy, Dougie Wood. He calls the car the LP800-4 SV.

The two cars are extremely exotic, the SV producing 670bhp and the Aventador; 789bhp.

Enjoy the photos!

Oakley Design Lamborghini LP760-2 Aventador





We are seriously considering this as the nicest tuned Lamborghini we have seen in a while.

Oakley Design recently revealed their tuning package for the 2012 Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador, limited to only 5 cars.

Added to the car is an advanced suspension upgrade and other technologies helping to reduce weight by 85kg. Other lightweight materials used are several carbon fiber elements and ultra-light, forged alloy wheels. Each wheel weighs around 4.0kg less per corner than the factory alloys. The factory 255/35ZR19 front and 355/30ZR20 Pirelli PZero tyres are retained, but the wheel width increases from 9.0J to 9.5 inch in front, and from 12.0J to 13.0J at the rear. These help grip when in 'Corsa' mode.

Developed in the MIRA wind tunnel, the rear Gurney flap also helps with stability and grip when driving.

The exterior body shell is completely made of carbon fiber, while the two plastic front bumpers, two rear bumper trims and side air intakes located behind the doors have been extended to help with cooling.

760bhp with 745Nm of torque are the manufacturer's claims, with an ECU remap optimising a larger airbox, intake feed pipe diameter and a titanium exhaust system that will also save over 30kg.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder 2009

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder 2009 Price, Specs, Specifications, Pictures, Wallpapers, Reviews, Photos. With the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder, Lamborghini has created a driving experience like absolutely no other - fascinating design, breathtaking performance and extreme handling characteristics come together with all the sensual intensity and open-air pleasure that only a soft top super sports car can deliver.

An even more powerful engine, permanent all-wheel drive and an all-new chassis mean that the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder offers yet another significant increase in performance against its predecessor. With its innovative design, the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder takes the unique Lamborghini styling ethic to the next level; the Spyder displays this powerful and elegant design language with even greater distinctiveness, making it all the more unmistakable.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder is a simply breathtaking automobile - and utterly unparalleled in its commitment to extreme motoring."

Engineers at the Ufficio Tecnico Lamborghini, Sant'Agata-based Technical Department, have also improved traction, handling and stability at high speeds. Every Lamborghini is a high-performance athlete. A Lamborghini's elegance is that of sheer, pure power. The spoiler, positioned low between the air intakes, improves aerodynamic stability at high speeds.

The rear lights, air cooling vents, bumper and diffuser are precisely arranged to add tremendous visual breadth to the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder, while sustaining its firm bond with the road surface. Overall, aerodynamic efficiency in terms of downforce has been improved significantly in comparison with its predecessor - the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder tackles fast curves with even greater refinement.

Whether open or closed, the Gallardo Spyder's soft top is designed for unrestricted high speeds. In order to ensure maximum safety, Lamborghini engineers have integrated two spring-loaded rollover bars behind the seats. Weight is undesirable in a sports car and lightweight design is good for dynamics. Aluminum is much lighter than steel - which is why the bodyshell of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder has an aluminum structure that is more lightweight, yet stiffer. The design of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder utilizes the 'spaceframe construction method.' The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder even fulfils European directives for pedestrian protection that are not yet mandatory. It accommodates the standard Lamborghini audio and multimedia system, as well as the dual-zone climate control. Lamborghini has built extensively on this tradition, and to this day delivers automobiles of the highest standards.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder indulges with materials of the highest quality in both look and feel. The engine of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder is a completely new development. With acceleration of 4.0 seconds from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) and a top speed of 201 mph (324 km/h), the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder shoots into the orbit of the most extreme high-performance sports cars and is only one km/h less swift than the LP560-4 Coupé.

Relative to engine power and performance, the average fuel consumption of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder e.gear is astonishingly low at only 16 mpg combined (20 hwy/13 city) (14 liters per 100 kilometers).

The mid-engine concept is peerless in sports car design, creating the basis for the perfect weight distribution of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder of 43 percent on the front axle and 57 percent on the rear. In combination with the permanent all-wheel drive transmission, it guarantees the Gallardo's superior handling stability in all situations.

The cylinder bore surfaces of the new Lamborghini ten-cylinder are made of a hypereutectic aluminum alloy. The driver of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder can thus rely on the viscous traction permanent all-wheel drive system - the number 4 in the model name serves as a reminder of this. With all of that engine thrust, changing gears in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is also one of the most exciting aspects of this vehicle. If the driver changes gear manually using the steering wheel paddles, he can choose from three different drive programs. Alongside the standard program, the Gallardo also offers the sport mode with even shorter shift times, while the corsa program delivers optimum engine acceleration.

The Lamborghini thrust mode facilitates maximum acceleration from a standstill. The predecessor to the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder was already one of the world's best super sports cars in terms of handling, precision and driving stability. The new chassis improves the car's handling, its driving comfort and its directional stability at high speeds.

The chassis of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder is uncompromisingly hi-tech. The rear axle now has an additional track rod, bringing an extra element of control to the super sports car.
The steering has its own cooling system for the power steering fluid. The wheels are clad in Pirelli P-Zero series tires, specially developed for Lamborghini. The new brake system comes with brutal stopping power. The CCB system significantly reduces weight, which improves dynamics and comfort.

Lamborghini has equipped the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder with an exceptionally sporty standard equipment package that includes the automatic top; driver, passenger and side air-bags; dual-zone climate control with sun regulator; stereo system with USB interface; sports seats with electrically adjustable back rests; leather upholstery and bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights. New options include black painted "Cordelia" wheels.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 2009

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 2009  Specs, Specifications, Pictures, Wallpapers, Reviews, Photos. With the new Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini once again sets a higher standard for super sports cars. With its new engine, permanent four-wheel drive transmission and new suspension, it delivers clearly improved performance and dynamics. In parallel, its innovative design takes the classic lines unique to the Lamborghini brand one step further. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the successor of the most successful Lamborghini model of all time. "The LP560-4 will consolidate this success story," states Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. With the introduction of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, we will consistently continue Lamborghini's growth strategy".

The powerful heart of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the new 5.2 litre V10 engine with an output of 560 PS (412 kW) at 8000 rpm. The increase of 40 PS compared with that of the previous Gallardo, and the approximate 20 kilogram reduction in weight, improves the power weight ratio to 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and thus enhances performance. At the same time the new, highly efficient engine enthrals its driver with its direct fuel injection system - "Iniezione Diretta Stratificata". The car is also surprisingly suited to long-distance driving and despite its extreme performance capabilities is easy to control whilst maintaining utmost stability.

A Lamborghini's elegance is that of stark, purist strength. The spoiler, positioned low between the air intakes, improves aerodynamic equilibrium at high speeds.

The completely redesigned rear gives the definition "powerful elegance" a new meaning: rear lights, air cooling vents, bumper and diffuser are arranged in precise positions on the car's exterior, which make the LP560-4 appear extremely wide and bonded to the road surface. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 takes fast curves even more supremely.

Weight is undesirable in a sports car and a lightweight model encourages the dynamics of such a vehicle. Aluminium is much lighter than sheet steel and this is why the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is produced with a body in a much lighter but nevertheless more stiff structure: the two-seater car measures 4.34 metres in length, 1.90 metres in width and a mere 1.16 metres in height. The construction of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 utilises what is known as a 'spaceframe construction method'. The body of the car also demonstrates extremely high levels of 'passive security'. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 fulfils the not yet obligatory European directives regarding the protection of pedestrians. It accommodates the standard Lamborghini multimedia system as well as the air conditioning which can be regulated on both the driver's and passenger's sides. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 indulges with the highest quality, aesthetically pleasing materials. As an optional, Lamborghini can deliver the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 with a further choice of leather and Alcantara® interiors as well as Carbon Fibre Packages. Furthermore, the individualisation program, Ad Personam, enables the customer to create any combination of colour and trim, thus creating a highly personalised vehicle. The engine of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is a completely new development. At maximum torque output, the engine yields 540 Newtonmeter at 6.500 rpm. The ample torque curve guarantees outstanding thrust from every engine speed. With an acceleration of 3.7 seconds from 0-100 km/h and a maximum speed of 325 km/h, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 shoots into the orbit of the most extreme and powerful sports cars.

Despite the clearly improved driving performance of this super sports car, Sant'Agata's engineers were nevertheless able to achieve a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions by 18 per cent. Measured by engine power and performance, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 e-gear's average fuel consumption of 13.7 litres per 100 kilometers, is extremely low.

The concept of the mid - rear engine is unbeatable in sports car production, with the centre of gravity being displaced next to the vertical axis, thus creating the car's exceptional dynamics. Furthermore, it creates the basis for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4's perfect weight distribution with 43 per cent on the front axle and 57 per cent on the rear. In combination with the permanent four-wheel drive transmission, superior driving stability and road adherence are guaranteed in all situations.

The crank case of the new ten cylinder of Lamborghini Gallardo is produced with an aluminium alloy. The cylinder heads have been optimised to deliver a very quick gas exchange and the variable valve control system on all four camshafts improves the charge efficiency across the entire engine speed range.

The driver of a Gallardo LP560-4 can thus rely on the four-wheel drive Viscous Traction (VT) system, with the '4' in the model name a reminder of this. A mechanical differential on the rear axle provides up to 45% limited slip and an electronic differential lock at the front complete the four-wheel drive system.

Not only does the maximum traction take advantage of the permanent four-wheel drive system, but also the car's clearly superior handling. Despite all the engine thrust, changing gears in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is one of the most exciting experiences of driving this vehicle. The driver may choose between five different driving and changing programs: in addition to the 'normal' mode, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 offers a SPORT programm with its even more rapid gear changing times and increased number of revolutions.

The CORSA program directs the engine to optimum acceleration. Even the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4's predecessor was one of the world's best super sports cars with regard to handling, precision and driving stability. However, the latest model provides an even more intense driving experience: the new suspension improves the car's handling, its driving comfort and its directional stability at high speeds.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4's space frame is uncompromisingly high tech. The rear axle now has an additional track rod which further improves the excellent control of this super sports vehicle. Newly developed elements are the rubber-metal bearings - authentic high-tech parts - which clearly improve the special Lamborghini driving dynamics with well-chosen material combinations and cleverly defined assembly.

The steering has its own cooling system for the power steering fluid.

Precise, breathtakingly fast, whilst stable and free from surprises, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4's dynamics assures a sensuous experience. The LP560-4's tyres (format 235/35 ZR 19 front and 295/30 ZR 19 rear) appear to bond with the asphalt. The new braking system acts with brute force. At the rear, four cylinder callipers act on the 356 mm brake discs. In addition, the new disc ventilation system improves the stability in extreme situations. At the front the CCB (Carbon Ceramic Brakes) discs measure 380mm in diameter and at the rear 356mm. They deliver much improved performance at a reduced weight. In total, the CCB braking system is lighter in weight that, at the wheel, improves driving dynamics and comfort.

With the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Lamborghini provides its customers with a generous and sporty standard equipment package. Direct from the production line, a customer will find included in his vehicle passenger and lateral air-bags; a two-zone air-conditioning system with sun regulation; The Lamborghini Multimedia System including an USB connector; and sports seats with an electronically operated backrest. The car is supplied with new Apollo wheels as standard.

Finally, the engine hood made from glass creates a showcase for the heart of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4..

As a consequence, extreme exclusivity is the trademark of Lamborghini's individualisation program. The new matt colours underline the clearly defined and purist precision of the Lamborghini design.
