2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera

March 2nd 2010 18:00
2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera


With arguably the largest motor show on earth just starting, you wouldn't expect supercar marque Lamborghini to remain quiet so may we present you the 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera.

Making its debut in Geneva, the range-topping Gallardo is the first successor to the original Gallardo Superleggera that debuted back in 2007. The light-weight and track-focussed baby Lambo is powered by a 5.2-litre V10 with direct-injection developing 419 kW/570 horsepower (hence its namesake) and needless to say, performance is astonishing.

Boasting permanent all-wheel drive and weighing 70 kilograms less than the 'standard' Gallardo LP 560-4, the new Superleggera sprints from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and can reach a top speed of 325 km/h.

Honed in the wind tunnel to achieve increased aerodynamic effects, the designers from Lamborghini's Centro Stile remodeled the front bumper - three-dimensional, deeply recessed elements form trapezoidal frames for the large air intakes. Together with the V-shaped, sharply defined nose and the LED daytime running lights, the black elements give the front end a razor-sharp look, reminiscent of Lamborghini's top model. The new design increases the supply of cooling air and improves the downforce on the front axle.

The fully-covered underbody has been redesigned to include new sill elements and an aggressive diffuser incorporating four large tailpipes while a small rear spoiler come as standard - a large spoiler is available as an option.

Being a 'super-light' model, extensive use of expensive carbon-fibre has helped the Superleggera achieve a dry weight of just 1340 kilograms (2954 lb) thus making it the lightest road-going model in Lamborghini's range.

Rounding out the hardware updates include 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, optional carbon ceramic disc brakes, and a six-speed e-gear transmission.

Exclusivity with this supercar has already been guaranteed but for customers who want to personalise their Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera even further, they can use Lamborghini's wide-ranging options of the "Ad Personam" individualisation program.

Zenvo ST1 is one of the world's craziest cars

November 11th 2009 18:00
Zenvo ST1


Could this be the car that claims the title of "world's fastest" from the Bugatti Veyron?

Danish car maker Zenvo Automotive's ST1 supercar - S for Supercharger, T for Turbo - is 100% designed and built in Denmark using the latest steel space frame and carbon fibre technology.

Powered by a huge 7-litre V8 with both a supercharger and turbo, Zenvo says this combination is the best from both worlds and delivers all the power in one straight line. This makes the car very drivable and has the character of a normal aspirated engine but only much more powerful - a staggering 824 kW of power and a monstrous 1430 Nm of tarmac wrenching torque. The engine is a Bio Flex engine and can run on normal unleaded 98 (RON) or on Bio fuel (E85) or both combined.

Zenvo ST1


The design of the Zenvo ST1 is made from free flowing accelerating lines creating the shapes of the wheel arches, the roof lines, side line and the lower side air intake. The sharp lines are connected by muscular organic surfacing creating dramatic reflections. The front is designed around the hexagonal trademark Zenvo grille flanked by the large front air intakes used for brake cooling and housing the front light. The theme of the front is repeated in the rear which is designed around the big diffuser necessary for high speed stability and down force. As on the front the center volume is flanked by large air exits extracting hot engine air as well as housing the exhausts and rear lights. The rear spoiler, mandatory for a car capable of extreme high speeds, is partly integrated. It has a unique aerodynamic design following the raked shape of the rear end.

The Zenvo ST1 is designed as an everyday supercar and is equipped with all modern facilities built-in sat-nav, a 7.5-inch screen with DVD-playing capabilities that doubles up as a rear view camera and key-less go. The audio system boasts iPod connectivity while both the racing seats and steering wheel is electrically adjustable.

No word yet on the astronomical price but hand-built, limited edition, just 15 units, 824 kW...you get the idea.

The Official Zenvo Press Release:

About Zenvo Automotive
A/S Zenvo Automotive is the company behind the first ever build Danish supercar. The company is located in Denmark 45 min. drive from the capital Copenhagen. Zenvo Automotive was founded with only one goal in mind - to produce unique hand built supercars. The research and development for the first prototype started in 2004. The prototype has now been completed and presented for a public audience for the first time at Le Mans 24 hour race.. Zenvo Automotive will start a series production of the car, named the Zenvo ST1. It will be a limited edition with only 15 cars to be built. Whenever possible we use local suppliers and we work closely with our business partners, enabling us to not only source the best components but influence the development process to achieve top performance and great design solutions for the Zenvo.

Zenvo ST1
The first supercar coming from Zenvo Automotive is called Zenvo ST1. S stands for Supercharger, T for Turbo and 1 for model number one. For the engineers and designers within Zenvo Automotive, a clear list of criteria was made to ensure the car would not only be a track worthy supercar but a car that would be suitable for everyday use. The ST1 even though so powerful, is very drivable. It retains the unique feeling of driving a hand built supercar while still delivering the needs of modern motoring and safety. The car is 100% built in Denmark. From its impressive list of mechanical specifications to its striking pose the Zenvo ST1 is the result of clever Danish design. All these features are blended together to form a vehicle that demands attention but remains purposeful and practical. The frame is steel space frame and the body is in carbon.

Design
The car is 100% Danish design. Denmark has always been known around the world for its cutting edge design and for the first time "Danish Design" has been applied to a Supercar! The design of the Zenvo ST1 is made from free flowing accelerating lines creating the shapes of the wheel arches, the roof lines, side line and the lower side air intake. The sharp lines are connected by muscular organic surfacing creating dramatic reflections. The front is designed around the hexagonal trademark Zenvo grille flanked by the large front air intakes used for brake cooling and housing the front light. The theme of the front is repeated in the rear which is designed around the big diffuser necessary for high speed stability and down force. As on the front the center volume is flanked by large air exits extracting hot engine air as well as housing the exhausts and rear lights. The rear spoiler, mandatory for a car capable of extreme high speeds, is partly integrated. It has a unique aerodynamic design following the raked shape of the rear end.

Comfort & Luxury
The Zenvo ST1 is equipped with all modern facilities which make the car usable for everyday use. The A/C makes sure that the cabin always has the right temperature and the build in navigation makes sure that you always arrive in time. The 7½" screen makes you able to see DVD and is also connected to a rear view camera to make reversing easy. The audio system also allows you to hear music from either your I-Pod, MP3 player, CDs or Radio. The racing seats are both electrical adjustable and so are the steering wheel. The start up of the Zenvo is easy due to key-less go. Simply just push the "start engine" button. When driving the head up display gives you a perfect and safe access to driving information. 2 build in airbags for extra protection and safety. When just cruising simply just use the cruise control. When leaving the car it automatically locks.

Engine & Power
The impressive power is supplied by a 7 liter V8 engine and yes, this is the first ever supercar combining the benefits from both a supercharger and turbo. This combination delivers all the power in one straight line. This makes the car very drivable and has the character of a normal aspirated engine but much more powerful. The engine is a Bio Flex engine. It can run on normal unleaded 98 (RON) or on Bio fuel (E85) or both combined.

Gearbox
The car is standard delivered with a manual 6 speed gearbox which is specially developed to handle the enormous torque and power. We are also offering an option of delivering the car with a paddle shift solution.
