2010 Lamborghini Gallardo Lp560-4 Spyder Convertible 2-door 5.2l on 2040-cars
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
The beating heart of the Spyder continues to be a 5.2-liter
10-cylinder that pumps out a fiery 552 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 398 ft-lbs
of torque at 6,500 rpm. That's enough power to hit 62 mph in a scant four
seconds, and the sprint to twice that speed -- 124 mph -- takes just 13.1
seconds. Aiding in the Gallardo's acceleration is an all-wheel-drive system
that provides optimal traction and also helps make handling more neutral. A gated six-speed manual transmission is available for
purists, while those looking for the convenience of clutchless shifting in
their sports car can opt for a six-speed E-gear transmission (that's
Lamborghini-speak for a six-speed single-clutch automated manual). The E-gear transmission was recently completely redesigned,
resulting in a reduction in gear change times by 40 percent. The driver can
also now choose between five different driving and changing programs. The most
performance-oriented "CORSA" setting not only affects shift speed --
it also directs the engine for maximum acceleration. The 'Thrust Mode' ensures
maximum acceleration from neutral while the angle of the throttle valve and the
clutch are optimized. Fuel economy - hardly a priority in this class - is rated at
13/20 with the E-gear and 12/20 with the manual gearbox. Wondering about the confusing alphanumeric portion of the
Spyder's name? "LP" denotes the longitudinal position of the engine,
"560" reflects its European horsepower rating, and the "4"
designation indicates all-wheel-drive. The Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder fulfills the not yet obligatory
European pedestrian safety regulations, without compromising the look of the
car. Naturally, Lamborghini paid just as much attention to the
safety of its occupants as it did to pedestrians. The Spyder features twin
spring-loaded rollover bars that deploy within 250 milliseconds in a rollover
situation -- simultaneously activating the seatbelt tensioners for optimal
occupant safety. An optional carbon-ceramic-disc braking system makes use of
eight-piston Brembo calipers up front, and four-piston calipers at he rear.
Rotor size is 14.4 inches at the front and 14 inches at the rear. |

Italdesign Giugiaro Parcour Concept
Thu, 18 Jul 2013Coachbuilt Italian Finery Rides High In The Mediterranean
Apparently, the appropriate gift to give for the 45th anniversary of almost anything is a blue sapphire stone. I cannot imagine Autoblog readers craving a story about that, so I'm glad that Italdesign Giugiaro spared me that gig and instead created this truly interesting Parcour concept to mark its 45th anniversary.
Parcour is named after the generally urban activity of French origin (spelled "parkour"), of throwing one's (presumably) agile body off walls and railings in an anti-gravity freestyle momentum ballet. This sometimes ends up being broadcast on YouTube, particularly to show a parkour session gone horribly wrong, with the star taking a metal banister in the cojones or receiving a fetching bouquet of twisted fingers. Clearly design boss at Giugiaro, Fabrizio Giugiaro (son of legend Giorgetto), and his squad had more coordinated good parkour-ing in mind when they let me drive their cool creation on the island of Sardinia. (I live not far away, so it's a one-hour flight with the herds on a low-cost airline.)
2015 Lamborghini Hurac?n LP 610-4 greets the public
Tue, 04 Mar 2014If you're into cars and are familiar with this little thing called the Internet, you've no doubt seen the new Lamborghini Huracán by now. And while it might seem redundant to talk about the hot new Lambo again, the stunning coupe finally, officially makes its public debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. In other words, it's an excuse for us to bring you yet another set of photos, ripe for the droolin'.
Senior Editor Seyth Miersma already divulged the important factoids in our recent Deep Dive, but let's quickly recap. The bull's beating heart is a new, naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10, good for 610 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. In other words, she'll be super quick, with Lamborghini estimating a 0-62 time of just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of over 202 miles per hour. All that force gets sent to the ground via all-wheel drive, all packaged up in a coupe that is, well, freakin' gorgeous.
The Huracán goes on sale this summer, and Lamborghini expects it to easily eclipse the outgoing Gallardo in terms of sales. We can't wait to drive the thing, but until then, another batch of photos will have to do. Check 'em out in our gallery above.
Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato could be bound for limited production
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Lamborghini has been seriously upping its production overt the years. When Audi took over in the late 1990s, the company's production was measured in the 200-unit range. Now it's making over 2,000 cars every year. But at the same time, Sant'Agata has been focusing on low-volume production as well, with a separate assembly line dedicated to putting together concept cars and limited editions like the Sesto Elemento and Veneno. And now it may just have another on its hands.
That would be the Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato, a unique coachbuilt supercar based on the Gallardo and unveiled last week at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Italy's glamorous Lake Como. It was commissioned as a one-off custom for noted Lambo and Zagato collector Albert Spiess, but reports suggest that it could be put into limited production.
The viability of the project would likely depend on how many orders the Italians might garner for an expanded production run. Whether the project would be undertaken at Lamborghini's special projects facility or off-site by Zagato remains to be seen, but you can bet it would fetch a pretty penny or two, despite the fact that the platform on which it's based is now over a decade old and has since been replaced by the newer Huracán.
