Bright green and brutal – it can only be the Italian car beast-Lamborghini. And it’s a rather hardcore one. Meet the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, Lambo’s super lightweight new model.
Needless to say, it’s the wildest Gallardo yet. It has got four-wheel drive and there’s more power. An extra 10 bhp takes the 5.2-litre V10’s total output to 562 bhp, the most an Italian Lambo Gallardo has yet offered and not far short of the bhp served up by the original Lamborghini Murcielago.
The gain in power over a Gallardo LP560-4 goes hand in hand with a loss in weight, as the Superleggera's name suggests. 70 kg have been shed, predominantly via copious usage of carbonfibre all over the body. Engine cover, sills, rear diffuser, rear spoiler and door mirrors all have a lightweight weave. Those beautiful forged alloy wheels also kill 13 kg and look pretty amazing while they’re at it.
Combine the dieting and the power gains and you get a 3.4 sec 0-100 km\h sprint, three tenths quicker than we managed in an LP560-4. Top speed is 202mph. It is a truly brutal car from a brutal manufacturer.
