2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera

March 2nd 2010 18:00

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.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni

July 1st 2009 18:15

Italian supercar marque, Lamborghini, has just released the latest version of the popular Gallardo and its the purest one so far: the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni.

As you may have already guessed, the "2" means the all-wheel drive system has been ditched in favour of rear-wheel drive thus making it the only current Lamborghini that delivers its power to the road via its rear wheels alone.

In this version, the 5.2-litre V10 engine generates 405 kW (550 hp). Coupled with a dry weight of only 1,380 kilograms, the performance of the LP 550-2 is blistering to say the least: 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h.

Named after the legendary Lamborghini test driver, Valentino Balboni, the LP 550-2 stands out from other iterations of the Gallardo courtesy of a colour strip in white and gold running from the front panel over the roof and parts of the engine cover all the way to the rear spoiler - an inspiration from the classic sports cars from the '70s.

Only 250 units of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni will be built.

The Official Lamborghini Press Release:

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni – Driving fun with absolute precision

He has long been revered as one of the many legends surrounding the world's most uncompromising sports car brand – Valentino Balboni, a remarkable test driver with his own personal cult status. Automobili Lamborghini now presents a model in his honour and bearing his name – the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni.

The latest version of the Gallardo, Lamborghini's most successful model of all time - overall, more than 9,000 units of the model range have already been produced - boasts not only its own distinctive design and exclusive equipment, but its technology is unique too, as indicated by the model badge: the 550 stands for the power output in hp and the 2 is for rear wheel drive.

For several decades, Valentino Balboni has had a distinct influence on the character of the super sports car bearing the sign of the bull. With his fine-tuning and testing work, he has helped to shape many automotive legends, from the Lamborghini Miura of the 60s through to the current Gallardo and Murciélago models. Balboni was hired in 1967 by company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini himself. From early on, it was evident that the young Balboni had a special feel for cars, that most sensitive of all instincts that connects to the 'life blood' of an automobile and defines the soul of a test driver.

"A Lamborghini must always combine the precision of a race car with the reliability of a good friend," says Balboni. Since 1973, he has sat at the wheel of every prototype built by the brand, and even most production cars have passed through his hands before being delivered to their customers. This has turned Balboni into one of the most important representatives of the brand, with an outstanding reputation and status among the brand's fans and customers worldwide.

Limited to 250 units

After over 40 years with Lamborghini, Balboni is now officially retired. Yet, Valentino Balboni continues to travel to many countries around the world as an ambassador of the brand.
The special exclusivity of the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni is guaranteed – it is limited to 250 units.

Light-footed yet extremely safe

With this latest version of the Gallardo, Lamborghini is honouring its long-standing test driver in a very special way. The LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni was conceived in line with his own thinking, and it meets many customers' requests for a model with a unique character, which offers a very special kind of active driving fun. The Balboni model is the only current Lamborghini that delivers its power to the road via its rear wheels alone.

Rear wheel drive has a special appeal to those sports car drivers who enjoy a particular driving style. Thanks to the eminently powerful V10 driveline, controlled oversteer is no problem – naturally always to the extent defined by the driver - because refined road manners and perfectly tuned assistance systems mean that the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni is an exceptionally safe sports car to drive.

Driving fun with unique character

In order to shape this unique character that combines driving fun and safety, the engineers at Sant'Agata Bolognese have incorporated extensive modifications into the LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni. It was not simply a question of moving the transmission to the rear axle, the vehicle had to be adjusted and tuned in every element of its driving dynamics. This includes springs, dampers, stabilisers and even the tyres. The aerodynamics were also adjusted to take account of the change to the power flow.

The rear axle differential, with a 45 percent limited slip, was also redeveloped, as was the calibration of the e-gear transmission. One significant point was the adjustments made to the ESP system. While the standard program is focused on high stability, the CORSA program permits greater drift angles, thus enabling drivers to enjoy the dynamics of the LP 550-2 to their full extent.

Outstanding performance is guaranteed

Adjustments have also been made to the very heart of the Gallardo, the 5.2 litre ten-cylinder: the perfect synthesis of hi-revving pleasure, pulling power, a constantly exuberant temperament and a powerful symphony played in all keys. In the Valentino Balboni, the compact and lightweight power unit generates 405 kW (550 hp). At a dry weight of only 1,380 kilograms, this guarantees outstanding performance: the LP 550-2 is catapulted from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62mph) in a breathtaking 3.9 seconds, while the top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph) guarantees its place among the ultimate in super sports cars.

Powerful elegance in its distinctive design

The Valentino Balboni is not only unique in terms of its technology: its design and equipment reinforce its exclusivity. Its classic sporting character is emphasised by a colour strip in white and gold running from the front panel over the roof and parts of the engine cover all the way to the rear spoiler, with inspiration from the classic sports cars from the '70s. This colour treatment underscores the powerful elegance of the Gallardo and emphasises the unique Lamborghini design DNA. The Special Edition is available in eight colours, from Bianco Monocerus through to Verde Ithaca, or Arancio Borealis to Nero Noctis. The Scorpius wheels retain their dark grey finish, while the brake callipers come in black, orange or yellow, depending on the exterior paint finish.

Classic sporting look for the interior, too

The characteristic colour combination is repeated in the interior. The basic colour of the full leather upholstery is black. Both seats, however, feature the colour strip in white. The centre console is completely upholstered in Polar white leather to create a powerful accent. A badge below the left side window bears the signature of Valentino Balboni and the production number of the car.

The exclusivity of the Valentino Balboni is augmented further by its extensive equipment. Alongside several new leather features in the interior, there is also the transparent engine cover, the rear view camera, the navigation system with Bluetooth and the lifting system for the front axle that makes it easier to drive over obstacles. In addition to the extensive standard equipment, a list of further options is available including e-gear transmission and carbon ceramic brakes.
