  • End Of Production For The Iconic Lamborghini Gallardo

    Last-Lamborghini-Gallardo-THUMBThe very last Lamborghini Gallardo has left the production line in the historic factory buildings of Sant’Agata Bolognese. The final model is a Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante colored in the red paint finish Rosso Mars and which is already destined for a private collector.

    In fact, the Gallardo has been produced with a total of 14,022 units which makes it the most successful super sports cars. It is literally an icon of Italian design. The first Gallardo model appeared ten years ago at Geneva Motor Show in order to mark company’s 40th anniversary. The name of the Gallardo was inspired by the world of bullfighting. Gallardo was a bloodline of bulls known for its exceptional courage and undaunted nature.

    Another interesting historical fact is that in the first four decades of the existence of Lamborghini, an average of just 250 vehicles were built per year. Since the appearance of Gallardo, the production grew to a whole new dimension with volumes of around 2,000 cars per year on average.

    The first ever 2003 Gallardo mesmerized the public with its extreme design, phenomenal lightweight dynamics and outstanding quality, and also included amazing handling and safety provided by permanent all-wheel drive. Later in 2005, the Gallardo Spyder joined the lineup, followed by Gallardo Superleggera in 2007. The latter had reduced weight, thanks to the extensive utilization of carbon fiber components; it also delivered 530 hp (390 kw).

    2008 marked the debut of the second generation Gallardo, that had a redesigned front and rear, a new engine with gasoline direct injection pushing out 560 hp (412 kW), and it carried the name LP 560-4. In the same year was the premiere of the second-generation Spyder as well.

    Two years later was introduced the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera with an increase in output to 570 hp (420 kW), as well as the open-top Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante. LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni limited edition and the LP 550-2 Spyder, featured a rearwheel drive and appealed to sports car fans.

    The pinnacle of sporting performance among the total of 32 Gallardo variants was marked by the Super Trofeo Stradale and, finally – the Gallardo Squadra Corse, which boasts a dry weight of 1340 kilograms and has a power-toweight ratio of 2.35 kilograms per horsepower. This only means a breathtaking performance: the sportscar manages to cover the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration sprint in 3.4 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 320 km/h.

    The Gallardo was sold in 45 countries. 2013 marks Automobili Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary, and also the last ever built Gallardo with car number 14,022. Since the company has found in 1963, almost half of all 30,000 Lamborghinis are Gallardos.

  • Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 and LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica Unveiled in Paris

    Lamborghini-Gallardo-LP-570-4-Edizione-Tecnica-THUMBLamborghini just showcased two incredible new models at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The new super sportscars have the inherent aggressive design of the brand and in addition are even more extreme.

    Gallardo LP 560-4 is equipped with permanent four wheel drive, has a new front end and rear. On the other hand, the LP 570-4 Superleggera and the LP 570-4 Spyder Performante will be offered also as the further enhanced Edizione Tecnica version.

    The first model which was showcased was the Gallardo LP 560-4 with its new unique design and razor-sharp lines. As mentioned, there’s a new front end, characterized by triangular and trapezoidal forms. They are divided by diagonal elements in body color and in black. This means basically that the overall look of the front end is now broader and more powerful.

    And in order to complete the new look of the Gallardo, the designers decided to equip the car with larger air intakes ahead of the front wheels and the new 19-inch “Apollo polished” alloy wheels. The latter were painted in matt black and include precision-machined spokes in polished silver.

    Another new detail here is the more dynamic rear end design. The air outlet for the power unit has now a wider surface area. This in fact enhances its thermodynamic efficiency. In addition a new Style Package is available as an option and offers high-gloss black paintwork on the underside of the front spoiler, front and rear grilles and the transverse element of the rear trim.

  • Lamborghini Mark 45 Years of Presence in Japan

    Lamorghini-Gallardo-LP560-4-Bianco-Rosso-thumbLamborghini are celebrating their 45th year in Japan by launching a rather limited number of only 10 specially designed Gallardo LP560-4s. They will be cleverly named Bianco Rosso which basically means white and red.

    A predominantly white car with elements such as the engine lid, side mirrors and brake calipers which are all red. A specially designed interior is also a part of the festive program and incorporates lots of red leather.

    No words on any power enhancements so we’ll have to assume that the white and red Lamborghini Gallardo stays true to it’s name and develops 560 bhp from it’s 5.2-liter V10 engine. That’s enough power to do the 0-60 mph run in no more than 3.7 seconds. Also the “4” at the back of it’s name means that it’s AWD so no Balboni action for Japan.
