Lamborghini's best performing Gallardo ever

Italian sports car marque Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the stunning LP 570-4 Superleggera – a new addition to the company's popular Gallardo range.





The standout feature of the LP570-4 - aside from that shocking luminous green paint-job, that is? Its significant performance levels – a blisteringly fast top speed of 202mph and an equally impressive 0-62mph of 3.4 seconds leave little to be desired.

This superior speed arrives as a result of Lambo's focus on giving its latest Gallardo model more power but less weight. To this end, the 5.2-litre V10 engine found in other Gallardo models now generates 562bhp and 540Nm of torque. And in terms of weight reduction, the utilisation of polycarbonate (rear windshield, transparent engine cover) and carbon fibre (rear diffuser, rear spoiler) components brings the weight down by a more than substantial 154lbs. Weight Watchers would be proud!

Lamborghini's handiwork has clearly paid off as the LP 570-4 Superleggera is officially the most powerful Gallardo to date. We certainly wouldn't mind getting our hands on one and taking it for a spin – without the crazy green finish, mind!
