New glow for Gallardo in Paris

PARIS, France - Lamborghini is presenting the most successful super sports car of its entire history at the 2012 Paris auto show: a new design for the all-wheel drive Gallardo LP 560-4 and the LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica.

The latest Gallardo LP 560-4 has a new nose and tail and top models in the Gallardo line-up,the LP 570-4 Superleggera and the LP 570-4 Spyder Performante, will be offered also as the further-enhanced Edizione Tecnica. The six models of the Gallardo family are now clearly differentiated and can be customised to order.

The new Gallardo models will be available at Lamborghini showrooms from November 2012.

Gallardo LP 560-4

This unique design with its razor-sharp lines is one of the key factors in its great success worldwide. Nearly 13 000 units have already left the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory.

The Gallardo design has been further accentuated in the new Gallardo LP 560-4. The new front is characterised by triangular and trapezoidal forms – two shapes that typical of the Lamborghini design language. Divided by diagonal elements in body colour and black, the overall look of the nose is wider and more authoritative.

Larger air intakes have been created ahead of the front wheels and new matte black 19" alloy rims feature precision-machined polished silver spokes.

The tail design of the Gallardo LP 560-4 also features the triangle and trapezoid. The air outlet for the engine unit now has a wider surface area to improve thermodynamic efficiency and a new 'style package' will be available with gloss black paintwork on the underside of the front spoiler, front and rear grilles and the transverse element of the rear trim.

With their more determined lightweight design, a focus on high performance and a purist look, the LP 570-4 Superleggera and the LP 570-4 Spyder Performante mark the very pinnacle of the Gallardo family. As Edizione Tecnica, they benefit from a further improved equipment level and an even more individual look.

Features of the Edizione Tecnica include the fixed high rear wing and carbon-ceramic brakes - the latter combining lightness with outstanding fade resistance.

The new Gallardos can be customised to a virtually limitless degree with the “Ad Personam” Lamborghini programme.

Superleggera and Spyder Performante, underline – even in terms of design – the differences in mechanical and driving experience among the all-wheel drive versions of the Gallardo range.

In fact, beside the Gallardo four-wheel drive, the two-wheel drive Gallardo LP 550-2 in Coupe and Spyder formats are still available.

With its purist rear-wheel drive, it appeals to drivers who prefer a highly active and engaged driving style. The Gallardo LP 550-2 offers the unique design and performance of a Lamborghini in a simple and uncomplicated form.
