Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 SV coming to Geneva in March

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 SV

Rumor has it that Lamborghini is planning a hardcore version of the Gallardo LP560-4 called the Gallardo LP570-4 SV (SuperVeloce). Insiders say that the model will be stripped down but will only push out 10 more horsepower than the base model. The front suspension will also see some work and carbon ceramic brakes are aslo expected. You can also look forward to seeing some aggressive body design cues.

Lamborghini will show dealers and VIPs the car sometime next month with a public unveiling at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Deliveries should begin around May.

The folks over at TeamSpeed say that the Gallardo LP570-4 SV won’t be the last version of the supercar before it goes under a redesign in 2012. A hardcore rear-wheel-drive version is also expected to debut sometime in early 2011.

Lamborghini Opens A New Dealership in Sevenoaks

The New Lamborghini Dealership in Sevenoaks

Lamborghini has added a sixth dealership to the UK network, with the opening of Lamborghini Sevenoaks.

Part of Jardine Motors, which also operates Lamborghini Reading, the Kent location provides full sales and aftersales facilities, as well as retailing the brand's Collezione Automobili Lamborghini merchandise range.

"Jardine Motors is delighted to open a second Lamborghini business in the UK," said Ian Barrow, General Manager for Lamborghini Sevenoaks. "Our location, next to Sevenoaks station means we are conveniently placed to look after the Kent region and surrounding areas. We're proud to be investing in Lamborghini for the long-term benefit of both the brand and its clients."

The UK network is now comprised of six dealers in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Reading and Kent.

Edo Competition Tunes the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560/4

We wouldn’t say the 560-hp Lamborghini Gallardo LP560/4 is lacking power, but this didn’t stop Edo Competition from tinkering with the car. The tuner created the LP600/4, and, as the name suggests, it’s pumping out 600 hp through all four wheels.

Torque isn’t listed in that lengthy name, but it also rises to 422 lb-ft from the stock 398 lb-ft rating. Edo’s tuned LP600/4 is capable of sprinting from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds (compared to the stock 3.7 seconds), and manages to hit a top speed of 211 mph (10 mph faster than an LP560).

Edo doesn’t list all the modifications to the car, but it seems as if that extra power is largely derived from an engine chip and a custom stainless steel exhaust system. A neat trick: The exhaust has vacuum-actuated bypass valves like on a Chevrolet Corvette, but the driver can open and close them with the flick of a switch.

LP600/4s also receive a new sport suspension with adjustable damping and rebound, custom 19-inch three-piece racing wheels, and a new lip spoiler. Pricing isn’t discussed in Edo’s press release, but as the adage goes, if you have to ask…

Lamborghini Toro LA 690-4 Concept

Another Lamborghini Concept is out in the open, this one designed to compete with the long-awaited Lexus LFA and Aston Martin One-77 supercars.

The Lamborghini Toro LA 690-4 Concept is a sort of throwback to the Lambo

Espada, but special attention was paid to ensure it did not have the same modern-retro feel as many of the new muscle cars do, such as the 2010 Chevy Camaro, Ford Mustang, and Dodge Challenger.

The Toro Concept holds the designation as all new Lamborghini’s (LP560-4, LP550-2, etc,) but instead of the typical “LP” (which means “longitudinale posteriore” - referencing the position of the engine

,) the Toro is given the “LA” badge, meaning “longitudinale anteriore,” or front longitudinal - designating that the engine is instead placed in the front. The “690-4″ simply means that the Toro produces 690 horsepower and is all-wheel-drive.

The design of the Toro Concept has more than a hint of modern Lambo design, taking inspiration from jet fighters, much like the Lamborghini Reventon. I also see some design aspects from the Lamborghini Estoque sedan, especially in the front.

The Toro LA 690-4 Concept would be powered by a 690 horsepower V12 sitting in front, as I already explained, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The body, made from carbon fiber and magnesium would help the front-engined Lambo shed weight down to only 3,300 lbs. According to the creator of the Toro, this Lambo would also employ “Eco” fuel-saving techniques such as a direct injection engine capable of running both gasoline and biofuel, as well as a cylinder deactivation feature.

I, for one don’t think the words “Lamborghini” and “Eco” or “fuel-saving” should be uttered in the same sentence, but with the way automotive trends are heading we can expect to see these techniques in our supercars within the next few years. What a shame.

The Lamboghini Toro LA 690-4 would start at around 500,000 Euros ($731,600,) and would face the Lexus LFA, Aston Martin One-77, and Mercedes SLS AMG head-to-head.

This is all in theory, of course, as it is only a concept. It may not be far from an upcoming model, however, since Lambo is already looking for a front-mounted engine setup, and this concept does illustrate Lamborghini’s modern design very well.

Head over to SeriousWheels for more images and info. Hats off to Carzi for the tip.

Lamborghini makes it 6 UK dealers

LAMBORGHINI has just opened a new car dealer in Sevenoaks, Kent, by signing up another Jardine Motors facility.

The addition to Jardine’s Lamborghini Reading facility makes it 6 Lamborghini car dealers for the UK.

Ian Barrow is general manager there. ‘We’re proud to be investing in Lamborghini for the long-term benefit of both the brand and its clients,’ he said.

‘Jardine Motors is delighted to open a second Lamborghini business in the UK.’

The new Kent car dealer will offer full sales and aftersales facilities. It’s also going to be selling the post Collezione Automobil Lamborghini range of merchandise.

Sevenoaks adds to the network coverage offered by Lamborghini. It is now represented in:

• London
• Birmingham
• Manchester
• Edinburgh
• Reading
• Kent

Edo Competition Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

Edo Competition Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Picture

Edo Competition gets horsepower up to 600 on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.
Edo Competition has put together yet another aggressive package for an exotic Italian sports car with its latest kit for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 called the Edo LP600/4.

Edo starts by upgrading output to 600 horsepower — hence the name — and 422 pound-feet of torque with the addition of a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system and a reconfigured ECU. The exhaust system is equipped with butterfly valves that allow the driver to change the sound level on command via a switch in the cockpit.

The extra 40 horses over the stock Gallardo LP560-4 give the vehicle enough power to make it to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds and top out at an astounding 211 mph. That's a 0.2-second-quicker 0-60-mph time over stock and a 10-mph-faster top speed.

A sport suspension with adjustable damping and rebound as well as a reinforced front lip help keep the vehicle glued to the pavement at high speeds, while 19-inch three-piece rims finish off the package. The wheels come wrapped in 235/35 Dunlop Sport Maxx rubber in the front and the same tires sized 305/30 in back.

Although the tuner doesn't include any interior upgrades as standard, it does say that it can outfit the inside with "lavish leather upholstery" or meet any special customer request. Check out Edo Competition's Web site for more details.

Lamborghini Gallardo Twin Turbo Tuning by Underground Racing

If most people we know would say that the Lamborghini Gallardo is enough of a monster to get the eye when roaring down the streets, it looks like the crazy chaps from Underground Racing would like to disagree. And not only they disagreed, they also did something to actually take our breath away with — their twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Gallardo ‘Race Version’.

Custom built for one of their customers (some filthy rich guy called Jonah), this new Gallardo coming from their Lambo Pit is capable to put out nothing less than 1,500 hp using VP C16 racing fuel — which could translate to an unbelievable 1825 hp at the crank. Not munch is known on how these guys have managed to create such an amazing vehicle but the six-speed transmission, a sportier exhaust, improved air intake and the engine modifications certainly helped it with a sub-ten second time through the quarter mile at a speed exceeding 160 mph.

Lamborghini Murcielago

Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Picture

It was way back in issue 075 that SG54 LAM first thundered onto the pages of evo, then with a mere 64 miles on its clock. Regular readers may recall that my original plan of attack was to hang on to it for a few months, live the dream, then hopefully sell it on at a minimal loss, since Murciélagos were still rare beasts at the time. Trouble is, it just didn’t turn out like that. Over 122,000 miles later, the orange monster is still here. So what happened?

Quite early on I realised that instead of constantly shelling out, there had to be a way of generating an income from owning such a legend. Fortunately, through a bit of trial and error, I discovered that there was, and the rest, as they say, is history. So not only has this Murciélago rocketed past 120K, it’s also been driven by 1511 people on track and has traversed 16 countries in between.

Of course, SG54 retired from these pages in 2007 – when it had just shy of 45,000 miles on the clock – to be replaced by the awesome LP640. This would supposedly allow the old racehorse to take on lighter duties, but again, it wasn’t to be. So how has it been over the last 77,000 miles? Well, strangely enough it settled down after it left the Fast Fleet, and I’m pleased to report that it drives better than ever and has suffered only relatively minor issues such as the handbrake regularly going out of adjustment (a well-known Italian supercar trait), the odd ‘hunting’ episode at idle (thanks to wayward throttle bodies) and the rear spoiler refusing to go down when the ignition is switched off. On top of this, there’s been regular maintenance, which recently included the car’s fourth clutch at a not insignificant £5000. Interior-wise it still looks great, although unsurprisingly the Schedoni leather driver’s seat looks battle-scarred.

The Achilles heel of the 2001-2005 Murciélagos is undoubtedly the brakes. Derived from the Diablo 6.0, they are just about adequate for the road, but on track they fade dreadfully. Later Murciélagos benefit from the far superior front calipers and discs from the Gallardo, which transform the car’s stopping power, so upgrading SG54 seemed like an obvious move. Unfortunately it’s not quite as easy as one might think to upgrade an early Murciélago to the later spec, since the larger calipers also require the later Hercules or Hemera-style road wheels, as seen on the current LP640, and at about four grand these don’t come cheap. Nevertheless, with all the required parts gathered and delivered along with the car to Mode Performance at Silverstone (01327 855700), the job was done.

Constant use had resulted in some quite severe battle scars on the Lambo’s front bumper, so I put in a call to Audi dealer Smith Knight Fay of Stockport (0161 335 0724). Well used to working on carbonfibre, they actually ended up painting every panel bar the roof, doing a superb job that seemed very reasonable at a tad under £6000. As for the car’s current mechanical status, the tech bods at Lamborghini Manchester have noted that the V12 is now ‘a bit rattly’ – not surprising for a Murciélago that’s covered a mileage equivalent to driving around the planet nearly five times!

Having said that, the V12 consistently fires up like a wartime Merlin, and if I’m feeling particularly energetic I’ll still take the orange monster over the LP640. Why? Well it’s more ‘raw’ for sure, feeling like a Routemaster compared to the slickness of the newer car, but it’s also that bit more rewarding. It lacks the killer punch of the LP, but all the same I enjoy the extra effort required to wring the best out of it.

Car Crash: Lamborghini Murcielago in Switzerland

Late last Thursday in Switzerland a young drunk Russian driver crashed his Lamborghini Murcielago into a Volkswagen Golf, while racing friends in three other exotic cars on the outskirts of Geneva, leaving an elderly German badly injured.

The Moscow Times reports that all four drivers of the cars have been questioned and released, two of which are the sons of Russian multimillionaire Telman Ismailov.

The cars that the four Russians, aged between 20-24, were driving were a Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes Mclaren SLR, Porsche Cayenne Turbo and the Lamborghini Murcielago that crashed, which was apparently rented.

It is reported that the Murcielago driver lost control of his car and hit the Volkswagen Golf in front of him, sending it spinning into a guardrail. This resulted in the 70yr old German driver having to be cut from his car, and is currently in a serious condition in hospital.

The Murcielago is said to have fled the scene of the accident, but was later found by the police. The driver gave a breath test which indicated that he had a blood alcohol level of 0.11%. This is more than double the Swiss legal limit of 0.05% and nearly four times the level of the Russian limit of 0.03%.

2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder

In the new Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder, Lamborghini has designed a new driving experience like no other – breakthrough designs, breathtaking performances and amazing handling characteristics come together in one in this car. “The LP 560-4 is the next step in a huge success story,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “With the Spyder, we are now unveiling a car that is, quite simply, a new dimension in the latest Gallardo range. It is an entirely new model, whilst building on the substantial technical and design attributes of the Gallardo LP560-4 production strategy. The new Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder is a simply breathtaking automobile – and utterly unparalleled in its commitment to extreme motoring.”

The engineers in Ufficio Technico Lamborghini, Sant’Agata-based Technical Department, have improved traction, handling and stability at high speeds. Riding under the night stars or soaring through the open air on a sunny day, Lamborghini has designed a flat top on this vehicle. The engine has a displacement of 5.2 liters, generates 560 hp at 8,000 rpm – giving top-notch output per litre. The Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.9 secs and reaching a top speed of 201 mph. With these results, no wonder this car is the most-extreme high-performance sports cars out there and is only on km/h less swift than the LP 560-4 Coupé.

2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 Superveloce

Lamborghini at 2009 Geneva Motor Show – hits back with it’s 2010 Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce – the fastest and most pure sports car ever the made. It indicates that car will pick up the ‘LP 670-4’ designation, suggesting it will output 670hp (500kW) and retain an AWD system. Automobili Lamborghini has now expanded its model range with a new, exceptionally purist and even more extreme top model – the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murciélago LP 640.

Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, commented on SuperVeloce, “The new Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is the systematic continuation of our brand philosophy. It is more extreme and uncompromising than virtually any other automobile,” Further he said, “As the new top model of the highly successful Murciélago range, the SuperVeloce displays not only outstanding driving dynamics, it is also further evidence of our company’s technological expertise. Customers can look forward to an utterly unparalleled driving experience.”

The increase in engine output from 640 to 670 hp is the result of optimized valve timing and a reworked intake system. With the output of the 6.5 liter V12 increased to 670 hp and a weight reduction of 100 kg (220 lbs), the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs) per hp.It goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a breathtaking 3.2 seconds and powers it on to a top speed of around 342 km/h (212 mph).

The Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce delivers its extreme power to the road with great reliability by its all-wheel drive. Explosive dynamics, tenacious cornering and extreme speeds – the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is a super sports car packed with aggressive power, but by no means a mean-spirited car. Its steering requires very little power support, giving full control of the car to the driver. Those prepared to tackle the beast head on are quickly rewarded with intimate contact and trust – as speed increases, so the Murciélago reveals its strengths, thus exposing a character with no hidden surprises and behavior that can always be anticipated.

The SuperVeloce is equipped with exclusive “Ares” alloy-forged wheels, bearing the exclusive five twin-spoke design. The front wheels are clad in 245/35 ZR 18 rubber, while the rears sport 335/30 ZR 18. High-grip Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires come as standard.

Four brakes controlled by a hi-tech ABS system are capable of mighty stopping power when required. The Carbon Ceramic (CCB) brakes are fanned by cooling air flowing through enlarged channels in the bodyshell, while openings in the front fenders provide additional ventilation for the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV. The ceramic discs are exceptionally lightweight, fade-free and capable of extremely high operational performance.

The super sports car has been extensively redesigned with an aggressive carbon-fiber GT wing replacing the current automatic spoilers and new lightweight forged alloy wheels with carbon-ceramic brake rotors also tipped to make the cut.

The interior in Alcantara and carbon fiber provides a purist and minimalist approach, including the door innards, seats and center console., which makes its contribution to weight reduction. E-gear will be standard, although it will be upgraded for faster shift times, and many of the stock aluminum components will be replaced with lighter magnesium pieces. Shift times are expected to drop from the current 0.4 seconds to around 0.2 seconds.

The 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4

One of the greatest things in the world is looking through the latest auto magazine and seeing all of the latest and greatest cars that are coming out. One of the cars that caught my eye that is due to come out in 2010 is going to be the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4; this incredible car is going to be honestly beautiful and built for speed.

This incredible car is not only one that looks like a masterpiece in appearance, but under the hood, it is completely and totally redone. It has all sorts of new things that only add to the appeal of this car. For example, there is an all new intake manifold, exhaust system, optimized valve train, engine computer and the engine actually pumps out about 670 HP, which is about 10 more HP than the Reventon.

If you do not know exactly what a Lamborghini is right now, you should probably google it. This incredible car is honestly one of the coolest looking, definitely unique and totally hip car in the world. While the price tag is a heck of a lot higher than most cars, if you really want to shine and shimmer and get noticed, a Lamborghini will do it for you!

There are a few things that you should probably know before you get one of these cars: make sure you have a garage! These cars are very, very rare and if you have the money to purchase this car, you should definitely keep it in storage so you can keep it a very, very long time – come on, look at it! It looks fantastic and you definitely do not want anything to happen to it!

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

To outside observers, the whole process looks complicated and, well, a bit silly.

Clicking the right most e.gear button on the center console of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 engages Corsa mode. A push of a silver switch on the center stack disables the stability control and lights up two amber Gallardos on the instrument panel, the smaller of the two indicating that ESP is completely off. Left-footing the brake pedal and matting the throttle revs the LP560-4’s engine to over 5000 rpm and creates a cacophony of popping and banging.

Releasing the brake pedal sends up a poof of smoke as the rear tires chirp and slip through not quite one full rotation. The car then bogs, as though hunkering down, before exploding forward a millisecond later.

Lamborghini Offers Vehicle Financing

Sure, we'd all like a new Lamborghini, but who has the discipline to save up $345,000 for a Murcielago LP460 coupe? Now spendthrift supercar aficionados don't have to. They can finance one.

Motor Authority reports, "Lamborghini has announced a new 'Retail Finance Plan' of low-interest loans for its most exclusive vehicles on the market, the Murcielago LP640 Coupe and Roadster (model years 2009 and 2010)." To bring the deal to market, "The supercar brand is partnering with Woodside Credit and Volkswagen Credit Inc."

Kicking Tires gives some more detail: "The offers include 5.9% for a 12-year term. Yes, 12 years. If you have really good credit, including a credit score of more than 740, you can get 0% financing for 60 months. That comes out to $5,310 a month after the required 10% down payment."

Most car loans range from three to five years, with a six-year loan considered to be very long.

Pietro Frigerio, Chief Operating Officer of Automobili Lamborghini America, said in a statement, "The Lamborghini Retail Finance Plan allows enthusiasts to finance one of most exclusive cars on the road at a more competitive rate than ever before."

So just what do you (assuming your credit score is above 740) get for your $34,500 down and $5,310 a month? Both the Murcielago coupe and roadster make 640 horsepower and have a 0-to-62 time of 3.4 seconds, according to Lamborghini. The coupe has a top speed of 211 miles per hour while the roadster tops out at 205 miles per hour. That works out to about $540 per unit of horsepower.

Italian Lamborghini cop car on display in Holland

The Dutch are about to learn how Italian police catch speeders.

A Lamborghini police car with a top speed of 202 mph (325 kilometers per hour) was en route Thursday — presumably within the speed limits — from Italy to the eastern Dutch city of Ewijk to be the top attraction at a display of Dutch emergency services.

The car is equipped with the latest gadgetry, such as a medical platform under the hood that contains a cold box for transferring human donor organs.

An external camera feeds images to an onboard computer, which collates GPS data to calculate the speed of suspected violators. The images are transmitted to a police station where the number plate is checked.

The car was one of several that has been donated by its builders to Italian police. The 2008 model updated two cars Italian police received in 2004.

Dutch police spokesman Frank de Valk said the car will highlight a daylong demonstration Saturday for the public by police commandos, firefighters and ambulance services.

Although in active service, the Lamborghinis also have regularly appeared for ceremonial events, including New York's Columbus Day parade.

Some experts say the Lamborghini is the fastest police car in service, but one Web site, http://www.gizmag.com, claims a police vehicle from Germany's Brabus Rocket, an upgraded Mercedes-Benz, clocked 226 mph (362 kph ) at the 2006 Essen Motor Show.

Lamborghini Launches Christmas Collection Inspired By Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni

To celebrate Christmas Lamborghini-style, the Italian supercar company has produced a range of limited edition gift-boxed candles and ceramic baubles, inspired by its recently revealed Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni.

The ceramic baubles in box-sets of three are finished in contrasting Blue Caelum and White Monocerus, two of eight colours in which the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni, a model dedicated to the legendary Lamborghini test driver, was launched this year. A set of slow-burning candles in the same colors is also available.

Finally, for fans of Lamborghini’s recently launched Reventón Roadster, Lamborghini has also launched a new clothing range that includes sweatshirts and long-sleeved polos.

Other items include trench coats, T-shirts, and faux-fur hooded jackets.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 JB-R Storms In

German tuner JB Car Design specialize in building one-off, bespoke vehicles designed to meet individual client's every whim no matter how demanding they may be. JB Car Design even brags that it can rearrange a car’s entire cabin if a client so desires, but thankfully this option hasn’t been applied to the firm’s latest custom Lamborghini Murcielago ‘LP-640 JB-R’.

The extent of the modifications extends to almost every inch of the Murcielago. In fact, of the original Lamborghini only the doors remain the same--even the roof panel is changed. There’s a bolder, more aggressive front bumper, eye-catching sills, a more dynamic rear, and a specially designed titanium sports exhaust system.

Such a bespoke exterior appearance has to be matched on the inside, and luckily the tuning firm also has experience in this area. Rich leather and hand-finished aluminum accents abound, and little touches such as the specially engineered aluminum air vents reveal the extent that the firm goes to when creating its cars.

Power upgrades range from about 710 to 750-horsepower, and are joined by a new F1-style steering wheel with a rocker switch for shifting gears. Other modifications include 20-inch Schmidt Revolution aluminium wheels and the aforementioned titanium sports exhaust system.

Pricing for the conversion starts at more than €500,000 (approximately $738,348), plus a Lamborghini Murcielago, of course.

One-Off JB Design LP640

JB Car Design have a special LP640 up for sale at the moment. They are occasional car tuners and the LP640 was their latest product. It’s up for €355,000, needless to say, the 2008 car features a whole host of upgrades that make up for the cost.

To start with the body modifications, all parts were constructed in carbon fibre. There’s new front & rear spoilers, mirror casing, a larger diffuser, a new air manifold, side skirts and a re-designed bonnet.

The 20″ Schmidt Revolution Wheels hide a set of ceramic brakes with contrasting yellow calipers. The body work has been carried out in a unique colour; “Blood to Black Diamond” which is limited to 911 liters worldwide. 10 coats of this have been applied.
