The most successful super sports car in Lamborghini's history captures the imagination with the brutal power of its 560 hp V10 engine, the absolute grip of its permanent all-wheel drive and the razor-sharp precision of its chassis. Every mile in the Lamborghini Gallardo is an intense experience of explosive dynamics and absolute control. Its breathtaking performance is indicated by the 3.6 seconds it takes to reach 60 mph and its top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).

"With the 2011 Lamborghini Super Sports Cars Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore, Lamborghini demonstrates once again the extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian nature of our brand. The super sports cars from Lamborghini combine volcanic energy with design that is as unique as it is stylish," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
With its new Bicolore model, Lamborghini is now setting a further design highlight in the ten-cylinder model series. The colored exterior finish matched with the black on the upper area of the body gives the Gallardo a new, more aggressive personality that looks even wider, even more extreme and innately adhered to the road.

The complete range of standard equipment includes the fast e-gear automated transmission controlled by paddles on the steering column. A lifting system enables the front axle to be raised for safer travel onto ramps and over humps in the road, and the engine hood in tempered glass provides a stunning view of the heart of the vehicle: a 5.2 liter, 90° V-10 engine with stratified direct injection.

Thanks to its extensive experience in carbon-fiber lightweight engineering, Lamborghini succeeded in reducing its weight by a further 70 kilograms. At 2.35 kilograms per hp, the power-to-weight ratio of the Superleggera is the best in its class, with breathtaking performance guaranteed. From a satellite navigation system to a rear-view camera, from a brake system with carbon-ceramic discs to heated power seats, a long list of optional equipment and accessories allows the vehicle to be adapted to the personal requirements of any client.

Unlike other concepts, this one has the validity and go ahead from it's parent company that the design language thesis is borrowed from. The entire project was conducted under the supervision of the head of the Centro Stile, Filipo Perini and designer Alessandro Salvagnin.
The Lamborghini Indomable is a study of a production sportscar based on the Gallardo and with a design inspired by modern jetfighters, this has got to be one of the most contemporary designs to come out of Sant’Agata Bolognese in years, so let’s just hope they build it. The Lamborghini Indomable Concept was inspired by the exterior is a new generation of stealth fighter jets like the F22 Raptor. It is of course not the first car drove the design was inspired by Jet.

The front end is a futuristic take on the Lamborghini brand design, with the radiators located in the middle and the two angular intakes are designed to feed cool air to the brakes. The engine cover is inspired by the functional system of the F22 which features invisible weapons bay doors and the typical zig zag assembly pattern. The “Y” shape at the center leaves the V10 engine visible through a glass surface.
The designer of the Lamborghini Indomable Sports Cars Concept, Daniel Chinchilla Ochoa, has been working in transport design for the last 4 years, developing urban buses, OEM accessories and special editions for VW, GM, Ford, Peugeot and Seat in Mexico. Today, he fulfills the role of freelance Transport and Product designer.
When he speaks about his work, the designer of the Lamborghini Indomable Concept, Daniel Chinchilla Ochoa said: “Soft transitions between the surfaces with hard cuts are the main design cues. These create the functional elements of the car. Side view shows a composite wing of abstraction, giving the impression that the car waiting to act as a jet since the start of the carrier.”

New Photos of the Lamborghini Murcielago Replacement Surface on Facebook


Late yesterday afternoon, photos of the Lamborghini Murcielago replacement surfaced on Facebook and were thought to be new spy shots of the upcoming Italian supercar. Eventually, word got out that the pictures were taken at an official Lamborghini event, attended by a few lucky journalists.

Unlike the real spy photos we published in October, the camouflage on this prototype is just a thin layer of tape. As well as revealing the orange paintwork, the lesser cameo also unveils many design cues. The new range-topping Lambo’s shape has been clearly inspired by the limited edition Reventon.

The front of the car bears the most evident resemblance to the Reventon due to the "edgy" styling of the bumper. The lines of the body are more aggressive compared to the Murcielago, which defines the silhouette better. We have no idea how big the new car is, but the way designers played with lines, curves and sharp edges, makes it look even sleeker than Lambo's outgoing supercar

Many things could change until we’ll see the production version, but, from what we’ve seen up until now, the new supercar, dubbed by some Jota, while others bet their money on the Aventador nameplate, seems to be a looker. Throw in an awesome 700 hp 6.5-liter V12 and you’ve got a winner.

Anderson Germany's Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition with 600HP


Anderson Germany’s latest creation, the Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition, is, well, white. What we're trying to say is that the discrete exterior modifications implemented by the Düsseldorf-based tuner got lost in all that snowy paintjob. Otherwise, the 20-inch alloys with shiny black spokes do stand out and 600 ponies sound nice - just as long as you know how to control your hands and feet once you get behind the steering wheel.

According to the tuning firm, the exterior upgrades include tinted windows and tail-lights, carbon trim and a wide bodykit. The latter is comprised of a new front apron, lowered side skirts, diffuser and rear spoiler. There are also LED lights on the sides of the Gallardo and red brake calipers, which may have looked better in white.

The cabin is generously clad in -you guessed it- white carbon trim, while the seats boast a two-tone finish, achieved by combining black Alcantara with white leather.

The engine has been fitted with sport air filter and exhaust system and, after some software optimization, it’s capable of delivering 600 hp, or 40 more ponies than the stock 5.2-liter V10. A sport suspension completes the tuning package.

The Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition is available for purchase, but Anderson didn’t release any information on pricing.

Silverstone Puts You Behind the Wheel of a Lamborghini from as Low as US$95 [with Videos]


Suppose you are cash strapped motoring enthusiast living in Northampton, England. You live in a council flat and own a third-hand Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. You’re earning a steady if unimpressive income of £180 (US$284) a week, of which you manage to squirrel away a small amount into your savings.

From this, you deduce that your chances of getting behind a £149,000+ (US$235,450) Lamborghini Gallardo are about as good as bedding Natalie Portman. What is a poor boy to do?

Well, I have good news my (imaginary) friend! Silverstone Circuit, home of the British Grand Prix, is now offering a £99 (US$156 or €133) Supercar Thrill package that lets you take the wheel of a Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Ferrari or Lotus for a few hot laps around the famous circuit. There's also a limited offer on a Lamborghini Thrill package for December 19 only with a discount that brings the price down to £60 or US$95 / €80.

And that’s not all. You’ll also get tips from Silverstone’s very own racing experts, professional photography of your driving antics and a certificate that you can hang up on your wall. And it’s available to anyone who’s able to fork up the cash, not just those poncy weekend track jockeys in their souped up Golf GTIs.

Your day starts with a briefing whereby a professional racing instructor takes you through the basics of track driving including how to identify the racing line, how to corner correctly and how to anticipate and compensate for oversteer and understeer.

You’ll then put it all into practice on the track, with your professional co-driver egging you on the whole time. It’s surely one of those things you buy for a friend or relative and then end up keeping for yourself.

The Supercar Thrill package is just one of several “experiences” Silverstone is offering including rally days and the chance to get behind the wheel of a “baby F1” car (kind of like go-karting for big boys), all of which can be found on the circuit’s official website.

Lamborghini SUV is a No-Go, But the Estoque Sports Saloon is Back on the Table


Last month the internet was on fire after Auto Express started to spread a rumor about the revival of the Lamborghini LM002. However, as we noted in our article, the story sounded a bit off. For a proper Lambo SUV, the Audi Q5 platform would be too small, a V8 engine not noble enough and the £100,000 (US $156,080) price tag a tad low. That’s why we didn't put much credence in the rumor.

It turns out we were right to take it with a grain of salt as Lamborghini CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, told British magazine Autocar that the Italian maker would give the green light to a four-door saloon inspired by the Estoque concept car.

“We have opportunities outside the supercar business, and we showed that with Estoque,” said Winkelmann. “It had a more enthusiastic response than we had expected. It was the right time to see if the brand could go outside of supercars. Even now, people are still emailing me about us making the Estoque”.

Mr. Winkelmann admitted that Lamborghini had only two choices for the third car of its lineup: a four-seat four-door and an SUV. But the latter doesn’t exist in the makers price segment and “it’s not a real luxury car”.

If something like the Estoque is going to be produced, the famous Italian automaker expects to attract new customers to the brand by being a more practical car. “If we are going to offer a third model, it could be a ‘first’ car, bringing people to our brand” Winkelmann concluded.
