Even more dynamic, lighter, more powerful and amazing - Lamborghini LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera is the new top model in the Gallardo line-up. Its evocative "Superlight" badge refers to the engine of the character of a true sports and athletes describe automotive high performance and sleek. The Superleggera make the entrance to continue the success of its predecessor, was launched in 2007, where Lamborghini is produced and sold no less than 618 in just one year.


Compared with the already sleek Gallardo LP560-4, the weight of the LP570-4 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera has been cut by 70 kilograms (154 lb). Super sports car from Sant'Agata Bolognese offers dry weight of no more than 1340 kilograms (2954 pounds) - will light the path model in the range of Lamborghini, and newcomers in one of the most exclusive segment of niche markets.

One key factor is the exterior and interior components made from carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is ideal for the manufacture of sportscars as the use of which allows for weight reduction and improved mechanical features. So thanks to the improved performance of the car with the ratio of weight-for-better power and reduce the total mass, which means that CO2 emissions are also lower. Lamborghini has been at the forefront in the application of this material for years, and now the brand is expanding its leadership even further.

The power unit with a 5.2 liter V10 (317.6 cu in) displacement produces 419 kW (570 CV) at the Lamborghini LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera. This puts the ratio of weight-to-power of the new top model at just 2.35 kilograms (5.18 pounds) per CV and ensures stunning performance. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera handle the dash from zero to 100 km / h (0-62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and flies over 200 km / h (124 mph) mark only 10.2 seconds later, eventually reaching 325 km / h (202 mph). Machine with an injection "Diretta Iniezione Stratificata" direct gasoline also offers an impressive degree of efficiency. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by 20.5 percent compared to previous models.

Lamborghini LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera is the engine driving without compromise. Teeth that are running, with a powerful braking system, has a dedicated and very precise set-up, while 19-inch wheels, Pirelli P Zero Corsa, wrapped in Pirelli rubber sport, which is very lightweight. Lamborghini LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera brings new meaning to the "super sports car" in length.

Design and aerodynamics - The beauty of power

The elegance of every Lamborghini relies on both extremes of strength and proper function. Bodyshell LP570-4 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is sculptured and is completely free from the addition of style. Dimensions define the contours of dynamic slices - 4.39 meters (172.7) long, 1.90 meters (74.8 in), but only 1.17 meters (45.9 in) tall.

All exterior modifications aimed to improve the aerodynamic effect. In collaboration with experts wind tunnels, the designers of the Lamborghini Centro Stile renovated front bumper - a three-dimensional, the element is hidden frame trapezoidal shape for big air intakes. Together with V-shaped nose, sharply defined and LED daytime running lights, these elements give the front end looks black and sharp, reminiscent of the Lamborghini top model. The new design increases the supply of cooling air and increase the downforce on the front axle.

Modifications to fully enclosed underbody, which includes elements of the new frame and redesigned diffuser incorporates four large tailpipes, helping to achieve better results aerodynamics. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera LP570-4 sports a small rear spoiler as standard. A large rear spoiler is available as an option.

The bodyshell - Intelligent lightweight engineering

Models in which the LP570-4 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is based, the Gallardo LP560-4, was a prime example of the philosophy of engineering lightweight Lamborghini, with a dry weight of 1410 kilograms (3108.5 pounds). Bodyshell is made of aluminum, with elements of the knot is extruded and molded parts form a very rigid framework in which aluminum panels are integrated. Spaceframe structure is impact-resistant and forms the basis for the correct handling of the Super sports car.

Against this background, the task of reducing weight by 70 pounds more (154 lb) presented a major challenge for engineers Lamborghini - the target figure, the ratio of weight-to-power of 2.35 kilograms (5.18 pounds) per CV, set a new best among the competition. Lamborghini engineers handled the task as usual - with a hi-tech aesthetic competence and talent.

Rear windshield and side windows made of polycarbonate strong and resistant. Close the machine also includes a polycarbonate window, under the V10 engine is displayed like a work of technical art. The concluding part of a long walk from the roof to the rear of the vehicle and made of carbon fiber. Engineers are also chosen for the carbon fiber rear spoiler, sills, diffuser, part of the underbody panels and a good exterior mirror casings.

With minimal weight and rigidity are very high, the carbon fiber is an ideal material for super sports cars. As far as the 1980's, Lamborghini has been accumulating experience in this field with the Countach. Today, some parts of the Murcielago structure made of carbon fiber. In order to secure a leading position even further, the brand of Sant'Agata Bolognese to establish a center of excellence for carbon fiber materials, in which specialists to develop components, working with an efficient manufacturing technology.

Carbon fiber Lamborghini strategy is further proven by the establishment of the "Laboratory of Automobili Lamborghini Advanced Composite Structures" (ACSL) at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA. Lamborghini provides support for facilities and long-term, cooperative research in the fields of aeronautics and astronautics, together with the application of composite materials' in the automotive sector. Along with the University of Washington, the Boeing company is also among the partners Lamborghini.

The aircraft manufacturer commands enormous expertise in the field of composite materials. With the type of new 787 Dreamliner, Boeing has developed the first commercial aircraft in the world built entirely from carbon fiber. Thanks to the superior characteristics, the fuel it consumes about 20 percent less than conventional aircraft.

Interior and the use of carbon fiber

Overall, carbon fiber components to make 40 (£ 88) from 70 kilograms (154 lb) are stored on the LP570-4 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. In the interior, too, engineers aim to reduce weight as much as possible. Center tunnel cover, door panels and surround the user's e-gear lever automatic transmission is made of carbon fiber. High-end materials are also used for shellfish sport seats'. They make a significant contribution to the overall weight reduction.

Just like the rest of the cockpit, lightly dressed Alcantara sports seats instead of leather. At Lamborghini, weight loss was not synonymous with sacrifice - Lamborghini LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera is still equipped with air conditioning and electric windows as standard.

Lamborghini has built on this strength - the interior is made with passionate attention to the smallest detail; high-quality material both visually and sensually pampering.

Interior, including roof and floor mats, maintains complete black Lamborghini Gallardo. As a contrasting color for the upholstery and trim elements such as sutures, customers can choose between green, yellow, orange and two shades of gray. They match the exterior paint finish in Verde Ithaca, Giallo Midas, Arancio Borealis, Grigio Telesto, and Monocerus Bianco Nero Noctis.

Machinery - 10.2 seconds from zero to 200 km / h

The LP570-4 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, LP stands for "longitudinal posteriore" and refers to the orientation of the V10 engine - which is mounted longitudinally behind the driver, like every Lamborghini engine. The number 570 refers to the maximum power output in CV, which is equivalent to 419 kW and is available at 8,000 rpm. Equally impressive is the attraction - the torque curve peaks at 540 Nm (398.3 ft lbs) at 6500 rpm. The increase of 7 kW (10 CV) is the result of a new engine management strategy that is dedicated.

V10 has a displacement of 5204 cm3 and achieve specific output of 80.5 kW (109.6 CV) per liter. Special features on the long-stroke engine with an aluminum crankcase dry sump lubrication and includes a cylinder 90-degree angle. Both solutions lower the center of gravity, thus improving the handling dynamics. To ensure an ideal filling the combustion chamber, the engine intake manifold has a managed and continuous control of the chain-camshafts.

Crankshaft understood as a dual plane crank - connecting rod piston against sharing a single bearing. This configuration provides ignition alternating intervals of 54 and 90 degrees; unique sequence that is the reason for car-like, exciting racing sounds from the V10. As the revs rise, resounding bass notes are overlaid with a razor sharp harmonics.

V10 strong, combined with weight reduction model, providing LP570-4 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera amazing performance. The car accelerates from zero to 100 km / h (0-62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds, 0 to 200 km / h (0-124 mph) in 10.2 seconds - then continue indefinitely to a top speed of 325 km / h (202 mph).

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera LP570-4 is also far more efficient - than its predecessor, fuel consumption in the EU driving cycle is reduced by 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers (0.9 gal), or 20.5 percent, to 13.5 liters/100 km (16 mpg). This increase was partly caused by "Diretta Iniezione Stratificata" gasoline direct injection, which injects fuel into the combustion chamber at pressures up to 100 bar. Cool the mixture down the combustion chamber, allowing very high compression ratio of 12.5:1 which, in turn, increases the efficiency.

Transmission of electricity - Traction without compromise

Lamborghini LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera comes with e-gear transmission is operated via steering wheel paddles, as standard. Automatic with electronic management system via a six gear shifts very smoothly and much faster than can be achieved by human reflex.

E-gear control unit has three operating modes, two and available in automatic. The 'Thrust Mode "gives maximum off-the-line performance and programmed to manage the revs start around 5000 rpm with minimal wheel slip.

Every single kilometer in the new Superleggera really thrilling - not least because of traction without stopping in almost every situation. This is mainly due to the four driven wheels, as shown by the number 4 in the model name.

The all-wheel drive is permanently integrate the viscous coupling center differential and limited slip 45 percent on the rear axle. Under normal circumstances, the power delivered by the V10 is supplied with a ratio 30:70 to the front and rear axles. Superlight weight distribution of the Gallardo is a 43/57 percent front / rear.

In 1993, the Diablo VT's first Italian super sports car with all-wheel drive set-ups, and Lamborghini has continued to consolidate its leadership ever since. In fact, thanks to superior traction car, the Lamborghini driver can accelerate out of the corner earlier than the driver's rear wheel drive car.

Gear runs - even stronger, even more precise

The new Gallardo Superleggera is the engine of a very concentrated - it thrills the heart and fast cornering speed, immediate feedback. Handling is always precise, stable and predictable.

The layout of the running gear is derived directly from the Lamborghini racing experience. Aluminum double wishbones suspensions. Precise rack and pinion steering makes the driver very closely related to the road. Very firm shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars and suspension mountain has been further strengthened: this feature allows the running gear to achieve the full dynamic potential. There are other models in the range of Gallardo is as close to the race car on this one. Development of the Superleggera is strongly influenced by the experience gained from the world's fastest single-brand series race, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo.

Another special feature of the Lamborghini LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera is the wheel. The 19-inch forged aluminum unit and is therefore very light - saving 13 kilograms (28.6 lb). Wheel bolts are made from titanium and are also very light and stiff. Tires are 235/35 ZR19 front and 295/30 ZR19 at the rear and comes from the series Pirelli P Zero Corsa. Developed specifically for the new top model in the range of Gallardo, they are closely related to the pure race rubber.

Large rear wheels are brakes that function to provide braking power without compromise and is managed by a system of standard-fit ESP stability control. Aluminum front wheel is served by eight-piston calipers, with four-piston units at the rear. Ventilated disc brakes have a diameter of 365 and 356 millimeters (14.37 x 1.34 ø and 14.02 x 1.26 in) respectively. In addition an optional, Lamborghini can load the discs are very fade-resistant and lighter made from carbon fiber ceramic with six pistons at the front. Ceramic front discs have a diameter of 380 millimeters (ø 15 x 1.5 inches).
