The LP 570-4 Superleggera

Nah, I'm not replacing her, at least not yet. nick on the cbox chat is right, it will take something really special for me to replace her with and it doesn't look to be anytime soon. It's got to be extraordinary. But if the Nur were to be replaced by something, it would have to be something special...

Like this Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera...


(Will find the time to shoot that DBS too!)

It's donning the 'StormTrooper' look too, black on white! What "Superleggera" basically means is "Super light" in Italian.


Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera is the lightest car available from the company, weighing in at 1340kg. This is achieved by the use of aluminum, polycarbonate and carbon fiber throughout the car, maintaining minimal weight and extremely high rigidity.

Those are massive 8 pot calipers coupled with 365mm discs. This one didn't come with the optional 380mm carbon ceremic discs. All of this sits behind 19-inch rims that are aluminum forged and are therefore extremely lightweight. This saves 13kgs! Even the wheel bolts are made out of titanium!




Carbon fiber rear diffuser is gorgeous...


Side mirrors are also carbon fiber.





Superleggera... topped with the italian tricolor to signify it's heritage.

The engine cover is made out of a polycarbonate window, beneath which the V10 engine is displayed like a technical work of art. That whole rear piece, including the rear wing, is made out of dry carbon fiber. It was so, so light! you could use your pinky to lift it up!

The dry carbon rear wing. Check out the reverse camera built in to the rear wing!


Blacked out exhaust tips! The standard exhaust is still a little quiet for my liking. I would definitely replace these with some titanium options. We all want to see that blue tinge!

The LP in 'LP 570-4 stands for �longitudinale posteriore� and refers to the orientation of the engine. The 570 refers to the maximum power output in CV of this V10 5.2L engine.

As I have mentioned earlier, the whole rear trunk/bonnet is made out of dry carbon and it's really super light. Check out the quality of the weave! Seamless!

Spaghetti olio? *laughs*

The interior is covered with high quality alcantara as well as more carbon fiber.








Check out the door sills man. Carbon fiber all the way and it's not the cheap wet carbon stuff too. Dry carbon!


Bucket seats are a must!













Whew! Now that we're done with the pictures, here are a couple of clips...

Quick start up...


Short acceleration from the lights...


Small tunnel...


Penchala Link tunnel...


It's a beautiful monster. What more could you ask for... All wheel drive, carbon fiber everywhere, super light, enough power. It's light weight can really be felt from acceleration. It twitches despite the all wheel drive because it's so light! I really had fun despite being tired as heck, rushing from Brotzeit after closing in the wee hours of the morning. I'm glad that Bryan Chin managed to tag along too as I haven't been catching up with him these past couple of weeks now due to a packed schedule. I'm sure he has some more excellent shots and clips so stay tuned for his post on AutoJunctions.com!
