2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570 4 Superleggera

In the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, LP stands for “longitudinale posteriore” and refers to the orientation of the V10 engine – which is mounted longitudinally behind the driver, just like every Lamborghini engine. The number 570 refers to the maximum power output in CV, which equates to 419 kW and is available at 8,000 rpm. Equally impressive is the pulling power – the torque curve peaks at 540 Nm (398,3 ft lbs) at 6,500 rpm. The increase of 7 kW (10 CV) is the result of the new dedicated engine management strategy.

BF-Performance Tunes the Gallardo LP560-4 Into the Lamborghini Gallardo GT600

BF-performance engineers have tuned both the coupe and the spyder versions of the Gallardo LP560-4. With its enhanced performance, added self-confidence and more aggressive looks, the new Gallardo has been rechristened as the GT600.

The first looks reveal the aerodynamic package produced entirely in carbon. These include the voluminous air inlets, a new front spoiler, side skirts, a rear diffuser and the striking carbon rear wing.

The performance figures have not been announced officially as of now; however, BF-performance boasts of the Gallardo GT600 beating the stronger Lamborghini Murciélago LP640-4 SV by an impressive lead of 0.6 seconds. The GT600 can be modified from a four-wheel drive car to a rear-drive super car. The carbon fiber aerodynamic kit favors the reduction in weight by 43 kilogramme.

BF Performance Tunes the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

We respectfully disagree with BF Performance’s contention that “the Gallardo is too innocent and neither dynamic nor individual enough”, but we’ll take a look at its tune anyway. The tuner’s GT600 package is available for either the coupe or Spyder and centers around a carbon body kit with side skirts, rear diffuser and rear spoiler. The tune also gets wing doors “for the special appearance” and carbon ceramic brakes.

BF doesn’t get too weighed down with details, but boasts that it has increased engine performance to the point that the GT600 can outperform the Murcielago LP640-4 SV. The tuner also offers customers the option of switching from all-wheel to rear-wheel drive.
