Lamborghini to Unveil Ultimate Gallardo at IAA 2011

More details emerged about the mysterious Lamborghini “super sports car” which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

According to Auto Express the V10 powered Gallardo is set to goes out with a bang. The British motoring magazine has learned that the Italian manufacturer of sport cars will officially present the most hardcore Gallardo ever produced.

The Gallardo is Lamborghini’s most-produced model to date, with over 10,000 built. The final version of the successful Gallardo will be a roadgoing version of the limited Super Trofeo racing car, designed for the brands one-make racing series

Only 30 units of the track version Gallardo Super Trofeo has been made. This car is based on the Gallardo LP 560-4 sports car, but has been upgraded via a reworked chassis, improved aerodynamics and race suspension. The track version of the Gallardo also features the six-speed E-gear paddleshift transmission. The Super Trofeo is powered by 5.2 liter V10 which offers 562hp. Thanks to the expensive use of composite materials the weight of this car is 1,300kg, which is 110kg lighter than the standard Gallardo and 40kg less than the Superleggera.

The ultimate version of the Gallardo which will be unveiled in Frankfurt next month will built following the same philosophy. This would suggest that the final and very limited version of the Gallardo will be more powerful, lighter and more aggressive than any other road going Gallardo. An acceleration of 0-100km/h would be done in three seconds, the top speed would be somewhere near the 340km/h.

The Gallardo will be replaced next year by a car named the Cabrera. Additionaly, Lamborghini is planning a roadster version of the Aventador which will be unveiled towards the end of 2012.

Lamborghini Aventador Miami Unveiling: Video

Miami is one of the biggest markets for Lamborghini. Which is why they brought a very unique Aventador to the unveiling ceremony of the car, along with hot models and Valentino Balboni himself. It’s a matte black one which looks freezingly cool. So far we’d just seen this car in red and white, but this color just suits the amazing looks of the car better. Lamborghini knew this color would go down well with Miami drug lords, who are the typical customers of cars like these! The Aventador is an awesome piece of design. Check it out after the jump.

Lamborghini ‘super sports car’ coming to Frankfurt

The Frankfurt Motors show will see a new Lamborghini being unveiling this time around. The Italian supercar maker is all set to debut the production version of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento concept the company showcased at the Paris Motor show last year. The car that is set to debut though will be primarily for track use. However, the car is also hailed as the basis for the future Gallardo replacement. For now though, the new super sports car from Lamborghini will only be seen on race tracks.

Lamborghini had earlier made it clear that the Sesto Elemento concept when put into production will be a track special and hence the model that is set to debut next month would be on the lines of the official announcement made earlier. This time however, the word ‘concept’ will be dropped from its name. We will have to wait for the official word as to what the company plans for the future. The Gallardo is long due for a replacement and this is evident from the fact that it is losing ground to the Ferrari 458 Italia.

The Ferrari 458 Italia has set new benchmarks in this segment of the sports car market. The Lamborghini comes no where close to the poise and precision of the Ferrari which is hailed by aficionados as one of the greatest Ferraris ever built. The struggle for supremacy has been an ongoing affair between these two Italian heavyweights but, this time Ferrari seems to have leaped miles ahead of the raging bull from Sant’ Agata. We all know Lamborghini will bounce back and it is just a matter of time until the super car maker comes up with a suitable contender to take on the Ferrari 458 Italia.
