In this economy numerous auto makers are having a tough time trying to sell enough stock during the year. One that has proven they can handle the pressure and get by with little problems is Lamborghini. Year after year they have released models that are both exotic and rare. This is attractive to anyone who is able to afford to spend over $100,000.
The new 2011 LP 570-4 Superleggera is the newest supercar to be released and it is in all likelihood the best Gallardo that they have produced to date. In order for it to be the best it should be lighter than all the earlier models up to now. It managed to drop 154 pounds by using carbon fiber, polycarbonate, and an all aluminum body shell. This brings it in at 2,954 pounds.
The decrease in weight would be ineffectual if they did not increase the engine power and output. The original Superleggera was given a 5.0 liter V10 that could push out 530 horsepower. The 2011 model has been built with a direct injected 5.2 liter that forces out 570 horsepower and 398 pound feet of torque. With this amount of power it is able to go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and is given a top speed of 202 mph.
A perfect supercar has two crucial properties; power and luxury. This is part of what works to make them so exotic and rare gems to see driving on the road. The new Gallardo proves that it has enough power and the inside is more than luxurious. Carbon fiber is used on the center tunnel cover door panels and gear level. The alcantara upholstery is used through the cabin and all over the seats.
Other characteristics that Lamborghini threw in include; sports air conditioner, rear camera, satellite navigation system, and electric windows. No price has been listed at this time.
