Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera: Revealed at Geneva Motor Show

The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Superleggera borrows the Gallardo's 5.2-liter V10 and adds direct injection, nudging output from 552 to 562 horsepower. The last numeral in the 570-4 designation marks the vehicle's permanent all-wheel drive, which incorporates a central viscous coupling and a rear limited-slip differential.

The engine, which makes 398 pound-feet of torque, drives the wheels through Lamborghini's e-gear six-speed automated manual gearbox with paddle shifters.

Lambo quotes a top speed of 202 mph for the Gallardo Superleggera and says it will rocket from rest to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds, thanks to its lighter weight.
