Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

lamborghini-gallardo-superleggera1.jpglamborghini-gallardo-superleggera.jpg Thin Bull Lambo have announced a lighter version of model Gallardo that is to make its debut at Geneva. Called “Superleggera”, this model is a replica given preventive to those rumours about a possible Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale.The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera comes with robotized mechanical e-gear as standard, a sports package including shock absorbers and special suede-covered steering wheel. Available colours: Midas Yellow, Borealis Orange, Telesto Gray and Noctis Black. Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires (standard) on new Scorpius forged rims accentuate the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. lamborghini-gallardo-superleggera2.jpg Excitement at high level and maximum driving pleasure are provided thanks to 10 additional horsepower and a 154 lbs weight reduction, the new range-leading Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. It needs only 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 62 mph; 0.2 seconds less than the basic model, and boasting speed and grit under other driving conditions which brings it to first position in its class. The already low weight (when empty) has been decreased by Lamborghini engineers, by another 100 kg. This task was accomplished by using advanced materials and technologies. The engine hood is made of visible carbon fibre and transparent polycarbonate, a type of material that guarantees lightness and also shows off the magnificent V10. The rear diffuser and underbody covering, the rear-view mirrors, door panels and the central tunnel’s covering are also made of carbon fibre. Further reductions in weight were achieved by replacing certain glass surfaces with transparent polycarbonate. For the interior, monocoque carbon fibre sports seats covered in Alcantara® were chosen to ensure restraint of the driver and passenger during the intense lateral accelerations that the Gallardo Superleggera is capable of achieving around curves. Those with a “fat” bank account will be able to order the new Gallardo starting with March 2007, but the production volume will be smaller than the standard Gallardo model.
