The 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo (guy-YARD-oh) gains a new model. The LP570-4 Superleggera is the lightest model in the Gallardo line. Lamborghini claims a 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds, 0-124 in 13.6, and a top speed of 202 mph for LP570-4 Superleggera. LP560-4 hardtop and LP560-4 Spyder convertible versions return with only minor changes. This all-wheel-drive exotic is the Italian company's entry-level car. The Spyder convertible has a power-folding soft top. Gallardo is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine. LP560-4 has 560 horsepower and the LP570-4 has 570. Transmission choices are 6-speed manual and 6-speed automated manual transmission that behaves much like an automatic. Most structural and body components are made of aluminum or lightweight carbon fiber. The Superleggera has more extensive use of carbon fiber. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and side-airbags that cover the head and torso. Other available features include a navigation system, rearview camera, wireless cell-phone link, and carbon-ceramic brakes. We have not yet tested an LP560-4 or LP570-4 Superleggera.
