Reports about Gallardo LP560-4/Spyder
SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy — Lamborghini will unveil a face-lifted version of its Gallardo, likely to be called LP550, at the upcoming Geneva show.
The LP550 will be powered by a 5.2-liter V10 with direct-injection technology. Applying some of the high-speed powertrain principles Audi has introduced in its latest RS4 model, the updated Gallardo's FSI power plant will produce 550 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, making it 30 hp and 15 lb-ft stronger than its 5.0-liter predecessor. The engine isn't the only piece of hardware to receive extensive modifications. Both the manual gearbox and the optional e-gear sequential transmission have been improved and are now capable of sending more power and torque to a lighter, more efficient permanent all-wheel-drive system. Upgraded brakes and a stiffer chassis help to harness the power and improve ride quality. Designwise, the LP550's more aggressive character is emphasized with a deeply revised body kit, featuring completely restyled front and rear ends, whereas the cockpit remains largely untouched. Lamborghini hasn't hinted yet at pricing, but with the current Gallardo fetching $182,000 in U.S. trim, expect the LP550 edition to easily top $200,000. |
why not the same 5.0 v10?

They should have just called the Nissan engineers, those guys can add weight, remove power and in the process still lap faster than everyone ... ;) |

Sounds good
|
Isn't this supposed to have design elements from the Reventón? I wonder how that's going to turn out.
And yes, more power is always good. |
Warning, press area not comfirmed that "LP550" press.

"FRONT:
Lights: mix between LP640 and Gallardo with LED technology like the R8 Bumper: Think LP640, simply gorgeous! REAR: Lights: Longer and more narrow, size of the R8 but with LED's like the LP640 Grill below lights: full length of the bumper (more like the Concept S car but not quite) Exhaust: think Nissan GTR -> bombastic (4 huge endtips) Cool diffusor Racy rims Interior: Another font is used for the instruments en the switches on the console have a much nicer finish, nothing really special though." |
Can't wait to discover it :-)
