The new more powerful and lightweight series leader
With the Gallardo Superleggera, Automobili Lamborghini presents an uncompromisingly high-performance sports car. Thanks to increased power (an additional 10 hp) and a 100 kg reduction in weight, the new range-topping Gallardo Superleggera provides even greater dynamic performance than the already capable Gallardo. With a power to weight ratio of 2.5 kg/hp, the Superleggera has the fastest acceleration in its class needing only 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph)
The new Gallardo Superleggera can be ordered through the dealer network from March 2007. Production volumes will be restricted to lower numbers than the standard Gallardo.
More power through technological development
The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera’s engine is the latest version of Lamborghini’s well-known 4,961 cm3 V10 producing 530 hp at 8,000 rpm. The increase in power was made possible by the engine’s improved volumetric efficiency through reduced intake load losses and by exhaust backpressures, together with optimized electronic control. Naturally, emission levels observe the strict EURO 4 and LEV II standards.
Higher power thanks to lighter construction
Lamborghini engineers have reduced the Lamborghini Gallardo’s already low weight (1,430 kg) by another 100 kg using advanced materials and technologies. The engine hood is made of carbon fiber and transparent polycarbonate, a type of material that guarantees lightness whilst revealing the magnificent V10 engine. Carbon fibre has also been used for the rear diffuser and underbody covering, the rearview mirrors, door panels and the central tunnel’s covering. Further reductions in weight were achieved by replacing certain glass surfaces with transparent polycarbonate. For the interior, monocoque carbon fiber sports seats covered in Alcantara® were chosen to ensure restraint of the driver and passenger during the intense lateral acceleration loads that the Gallardo Superleggera is capable of achieving.
Exclusive specification and options range
A comprehensive specification and extensive range of options will be available, some exclusive to the Superleggera. The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera comes with robotized mechanical e-gear as standard; a sports package including up-rated shock absorbers; and special suede-covered steering wheel. The car is available in four colors: Midas Yellow, Borealis Orange, Telesto Gray and Noctis Black with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires (standard) on new Scorpius forged rims. A few of the options that can be requested include the multimedia system with navigator and CD-changer; a rear video camera to make parking easier (with optional rear wing only); a Carbon accessories kit for the interior; a fixed rear spoiler; a four-point seatbelt and carbon-ceramic brakes.
