  • Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2

    Assuming this leaked set of photos are the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2, then Lamborghini's finally given enthusiasts what they've wanted, dropping their grip-locked all-wheel-drive system in favor of rear-wheel-drive action. With a six-speed manual, could this be the perfect Lambo?

    The reason for the lessened number designation relates to a slightly de-tuned 5.2-liter V10 that makes 550 horsepower rather than the 552 in the 560-4, but that lack of two ponies doesn't make this Italian a slacker with a dash to 100 km/h arriving in 3.9 seconds. This is helped by a 30 kg overall weight reduction.

    Limited to 250 units worldwide, the LP550-2 features a 10% price reduction over its all-wheel-drive brethren, comes in any one of eight exterior colors and comes with a special white livery. Official specs and data is slowly leaking out of Sant'Agata and we'll bring you all the latest as it becomes available.

          The exterior white stripe that continues through the centre stack in the interior is beautiful.

                Thats a gorgeous Lambo!!! It would be neat to see a Fahrenheit edition GTI parked beside it, im quite sure thats the exact same paint they slathered the Fahrenheits with!

                      Re: Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2

                      i wonder how they raise it up?

                      or do lambos basically have fancy coils?

                      or maybe just temporary spacers or something installed

                        Lambos have an optional feature that raises the nose up for parking lots and such, so not sure if this is just that or if they have some wedges/spacers in the springs for shipping.

                            depending on the models some cars simply raise their own front end, others they have rubber spacer things that go in the coils to keep the front ends up.

                            i used to work for a company that was responsible for moving a lot of these types of cars from the docks when they came off the boats inv ancouver. you just get them up on a hoist or jack and they slide right out.
