This is the Superleggera for short, or in full, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, which sounds great when spoken quickly in Italian. Goes quickly too, thanks to a 562bhp V10 and a 1340kg kerbweight; do the maths and that’s 419bhp/tonne.
Think of the Superleggera as Lamborghini’s response to the threat of RS Porsches (GT3 and GT2), a pre-emptive strike against other lightened sports cars (M3 GTS, and R8 GT especially) and a beautifully Italian way of responding to the threat of the Ferrari 458. Here's CAR's first drive review.
