The new benchmark in the Supersport cars has a new code name: Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. New Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, with completely new engine, the wheel drive and new permanent suspensions are the basis of superior performance compared to the previous model and an increased dynamism.

The innovative design of the new Gallardo contributes to the special aerodynamic lines of cars Lamborghini: The combination of elegance and power is redefined in ways not known before.




The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 collects the inheritance model of Lamborghini's most successful of all time. As of 2003 approximately 7100 Gallardo left the factory in Sant Agata Bolognese.
The powerful soul of Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the new engine V10 5.2 direct injection stratified, capable of providing a power of 560 hp (412 kW) at 8000 rpm. The addition of 40 hp compared to the previous model and the reduction in weight of 20 kg improve the weight / power share reaching 2.5 kg / hp, thus increasing the performance: the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 reaches 0-100 km / h in 3.7 seconds and also the 200 km / h in 11.8 seconds, the maximum speed is 325 km / h.

The new engine also excited for its efficiency: despite the clear increase in performance, it was possible to reduce consumption and emissions of CO2 well, 18%.

Engineers Directorate of Research and Development Lamborghini have also improved traction, handling and stability at high speeds. The magazine wheel drive, new suspension, improved aerodynamics, lightweight equipment and optimization of friction contribute to the improvement of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. The new Gallardo is thus like a sports car designed to ensure daily use in city traffic and long distances, and an exciting job on track.

In keeping with the DNA Lamborghini, based on power lines in terms of accurate and clean surfaces, the Centro Stile developed the design of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 through solutions essential and well defined.

The evolution of form follows function consistently needs: the new front Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 to ensure a low attitude and contributes at the same time, increase aerodynamic efficiency. The air inlets, of wider increase air flow to the radiator, adapted to the increased engine performance. The spoiler on the bumper improves the aerodynamic balance at high speeds.

The new lights are below the bi-xenon headlamps, daylight made 15 LEDs arranged in the shape of a Y. The same pattern is reflected in the optical rear: The rear lights and brake lights inspired by the Miura Concept, the Reventon and LP640 and reproduce the form Y three times for each side.

The new rear completely redefines the concept of "power and elegance": the headlights, the air vent grilles, bumpers and the speaker are arranged along surfaces thoroughly studied to giving the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 greater development in one with horizontal the road. The new panels next to the bonnet are smooth and underline the mighty structure and elongated lines of the new Gallardo.

The rear diffuser, in the form redesigned, ensures greater efficiency and, combined with flat bottom, contributes to excellent running stability at high speeds. In general the aerodynamic efficiency has been improved by 31% compared to the previous model. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 addresses the fast curves even more secure.

To the purist design combines the great care for detail design of Sant Agata Bolognese: the cap gasoline and oil made of aluminum and the rear-view camera, integrated in a small fin of the rear spoiler to activate , Or finely machined Grille inside the terminal of the exhaust are a witness.

The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 has an aluminum body in both light and rigid: the two-seater 4.34 meters long, 1.90 meters wide and 1.16 meters high weighs just 1410 kg, or 20 fewer than the previous model.

The structure is made using the technique of Space Frame. Mergers and extruded profiles are the backbone on which to integrate harmoniously plate’s welded aluminum. The body is so very slight, but at the same time very safe in the event of a collision, also guarantees a high torsional rigidity which contributes to a surprising handling.

Despite the limited height outside the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 welcomes its occupants in a spacious cabin. The sports seats are covered in fine leather or Alcantara and ensure a good containment. The position is extremely low, typical of sports cars. A bench behind the seats allows the housing part of the trunk and goes to supplement the 110 liters in volume of the front compartment.

The large center console is one element that contributes most to strengthen the concept of ergonomics in the interior. Inside is housed the Lamborghini Multimedia System and the automatic climate control dual-zone. Between these two units is positioned for molding a new design with classic and elegant lever switches. Seven instruments circular graphics renewed inform the driver about the condition of the engine, a multifunction display among speedometer and tachometer gives the pilot the most important information.

Already the Miura and other models of the'60s were marked for a quality finish that exceeded the standards of that time. Lamborghini has strengthened considerably this traditional expertise and today produces high quality cars. Even in the new Gallardo can find Dear materials and refined.

For the internal upholstery there is a wide choice of colors and stitching, including a contrast. As an option for the Lamborghini Gallardo has provided equipment and enriched leather and Alcantara packages carbon fiber. In this case, elements such as the frame of the automatic air conditioning or the handle of the handbrake and the tunnel next to the exchange are made of carbon fiber.

In addition to customizing the program "individually" can satisfy any desire with respect to the interior finishes. The engine of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, mounted in rear longitudinal position, is completely new and represents the evolution of consistent propeller Lamborghini most successful of all time.

Remains unchanged only the number of cylinders, 10 cylinders those that offer a perfect and unique synthesis between driving pleasure and agility sports. The engine with a displacement of 5204 cm3 produces an output of 560 hp (412 kW) at 8000 rpm, which translates into a specific power equal to 107.6 hp / lt. The maximum torque output from the engine of 540 Nm at 6500 rpm. The shape of the torque curve guarantees consumption surprising power to any scheme. With an acceleration 0-100 km / h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 325 km / h, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is at the top extreme sports cars.

Despite the significant increase in performance, engineers Sant Agata managed to reduce consumption and emissions of CO2 for this car by about 18%. If you look at the performance, consumption of 13.7 liters per 100 km with the Gallardo e-gear is extremely low.

The application of this technology makes it necessary to separate cylinder pipes, the pipes are directly drawn into the base through the merger of the machining that "size" of silicon crystals which ensure the proper running surface for the pistons.

With an angle between the cylinders of 90 ° is the obvious choice for technicians to reduce as much as possible the center of gravity of the V10 power plant. Even with the lubrication cup dry contributes to the same goal and providing an optimum lubrication under all conditions of use including use car on the track.

The fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber through an injector side. The Direct Injection layered guarantees a good performance as maximum engine power, reducing the sensitivity to detonation, this has allowed us to achieve an engine with a compression ratio of 12,5:1.

The driver of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 can always rely on permanent wheel drive and 4-wheel drive with viscous coupling, the number "4" added the name of the model means exactly that. The wheel drive was introduced by Lamborghini back in 1993 with the Diablo VT for a valid reason.

The wheel drive Lamborghini is achieved through a viscous coupling center, which needs no adjustment electronics, and will share the basic engine torque between front and rear under normal 30:70 ratio, but adapts over a few milliseconds in case of changes in driving conditions or road.

It is not only a draw traction advantage of the permanent four-wheel drive, but also the dynamic cross for the best performance handling. In fact each wheel can only transfer a precise quantity of force on the road. As the driving force is spread over all four wheels via the Viscous Traction, remains a potential for higher road holding and directionality in the curve. These reservations guaranteed in every situation index are a perfectly designed sports car.

A great deal of power available from the engine, the gear shift is one of the sensations of driving the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 more exciting. There is a choice between manual transmission, where the change is made through the exchange short lever that moves within the grid for selecting 6-speed gearbox or the exchange implemented and electro-gear where you can change gears using the 2 Postal levers behind the steering wheel, this choice preferred by the vast majority of Lamborghini customers.

The change implemented and electro-gear has been completely revised and optimized in each component. The change was not only reduced weight but also as times changed was reduced. Up to 40% in "travel". The driver can choose between five driving programs and changed over the position Normal is available with the program SPORT times changed and shorter regimes changed higher, both Copy-modes manual or automatic.

The 5th mode is called "travel" and in addition to the speed of change with a characterization even more aggressive can reach boundary conditions above the maximum limit to the ESP intervention. The "Thrust Mode 'ensures maximum acceleration firm operating independently from the position of the engine throttle, the race clutch and the regime changed.

Despite the predecessor of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 was one of the best cars worldwide in terms of handling, precision and driving stability on the new car thanks to new suspension has managed to increase even more driving pleasure, comfort and stability at high speeds.

The aluminum chassis is certainly an example of high tech without compromise derivation of close racing. The double-arm suspensions made of pressed aluminum resulted in the creation of a new motion while the springs and shock absorbers have been reviewed to ensure a further improvement in the motor vehicle.

The rear suspension is fitted with a new rod for the control of TOE that allows a further increase of vehicle control. New bearings are also made entirely of rubber and metal that, thanks to the combined structure, enhance the dynamics of the Lamborghini cars.

The steering rack with minimal help from steering to the driver moves the right feeling with the road. The system has a power steerings dedicated to the radiator fluid power steerings necessary in driving sports car. The steering ensures an accurate guide, fast and secure, allowing live a thrilling experience to control the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.

The tires, 235/35 ZR 19 and 295/30 ZR 19 on the rear were developed specifically to Lamborghini. They are the Pirelli P Zero with a rolling resistance very low and therefore contribute to the reduction in consumption without reducing performance. Reached the threshold of 120 km / h the rear spoiler to activate automatically increases the load on the rear interacting with the speaker that serves as a rear air extractor under the chassis.

The new facility provides an exceptional braking power thanks to the brake calipers eight-piston Brembo going to act on discs front diameter of 365 mm brake calipers and four-piston disc involved the rear of 356 mm.

For the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini offers a wide range of equipment. The standard equipment includes driver's airbag, passenger and side bags, automatic air conditioning with dual-zone radiation sensor, a sound system with an included USB connector, sports seats with electrically adjustable backrest, leather upholstery valuable in addition to this we have new bi-xenon headlamps with LEDs for the daytime running light. The new Apollo circles are characterized by design dual race.

Increase your comfort, a wide range of equipment including the optional navigation system, the module for TV reception, the plant speakerphone, bluetooth mobile phone, the burglar alarm and rear-view camera. Among the options you can also ask the adjustment of the front axle (lifting system) that allows the lifting of the body through the simple push of a button to facilitate the overcoming of obstacles. The offer is also complemented by polished circles Cordelia cross-breeds or by looking Callisto races with blacks "Y".
