At the Geneva Auto Show, a new fighting bull was unveiled...

Remember the white Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4, which even a dog could drive...
The 2011 LP 570-4 is the superlight version of the LP 560-4, where every gram of excess material has been removed or replaced with carbon fibre parts.
The weight? A mere 1340kg... That's 70kg lighter than the LP 560-4 & 90kg less than the previous Superleggera.

In addition to the weight-loss therapy, the tuned 5.2L V10 now delivers 562HP, giving a tremendous weight-to-power ratio of 2.35kg per HP.
0-100 km/h - 3.4s
0-200 km/h - 10.2s
Top speed – 325 km/h
By comparison, the fastest Lamborghini, the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce with its 6.5L V12 can do 0-100 km/h in 3.2s, has a top speed of 342 km/h & is ranked 10th in the Power Lap.

Couple that with the AWD & what you have is a supercar even Enzo Ferrari would be jealous of...

The design of the LP 570-4 is typical Lamborghini, given that it entails 5 months of raised eyebrows, 7 months of dropped jaws & a whole year of drooling!
Still like all its Gallardo relatives, it doesn't have the legendary scissor doors...

The unique body paint with side stripes in distinctive Italian colours will convince even the most die-hard environmentalist that yes, this is one hell of a green car!
Actually, it has lower CO2 emission, since the fuel consumption is 20.5% less than the LP 560-4.

The massive front intakes are directly inspired from the Revènton, with a secondary function of scooping snow & a tertiary function of saving suicidal cats.

Carbon fibre spoiler, carbon fibre diffusers. carbon fibre exhaust tips, carbon fibre underbody, carbon fibre mirror carings - the LP 570-4 looks like it was crafted out of a huge block of carbon fibre straight out of the mines of Pandora.

The aluminium rims on the 19-inch wheels send out a bold message - every bull has its day.

A fabulous supercar, but only a teaser of the forthcoming Murciélago replacement.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera is a purebred racetrack car, a Mona Lisa of carbon fibre, a symphony of V10 pistons... As Jeremy Clarkson would say, you don't just drive it, you'll have to tame it.

So if you ever hit the jackpot in the lotto or lottery, now you know which car to buy...
