 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550 Pictures« »


Heres a spy picture.... going to make about 550hp from a v10, and has been bumped from 5.0l to 5.2l

Wow that thing's really nice, one thing I HATE about Gallardo's is that they don't have the vertical doors, that just drives me crazy.

The front bumper reminds me of the 360 and F430. It's just got that Lamborghini jagged egde look appled to it. Anyone else see that resemblence?

More 360 than 430, but even then it's a stretch. What I'm seeing is a slightly less angular version of this:

I heard they bumped up the Hp so it sets itself apart from the R8.

Speaking of which, the rear is very reminiscent of an R8's

Beat on a regular Gallardo over the weekend for a couple of hours and while its definitely a looker, and gets tons of attention....it wasn't as intoxicating as I was hoping for....some of that surely due to the fact that my example was fitted with E-Gear, a gearbox only slightly better than complete garbage. On the positives, the car sounds fantastic, and drives as well at 1/10th as any other Audi. It does not feel nearly as fast as it is, ride and handling reminded me a bit of an Evo's with the nearly snap power-on oversteer and the car structure crashing over irregularities in the road. Fast as my same guy's modded 996TT, but the TT feels like its going to suck your eyeballs out. 996 is not confidence inspiring over 120, front end feels mighty darty.

It's a testing workhorse. Getting engineering data is far more valuable than anything else...

That rear rendering is gorgeous. At risk of becoming an armchair driver... I hope the driving dynamics improve from what I've read in EVO, Car, Sports Car International, etc. They seem to have learned a lot when developing the R8.

That's just a test mule. EDIT: Beaten to it again!

The rear bumper reminds me of a body kit you might see in a Need for Speed game or something. The opening and taillights look great, but I don't like the diffuser.

What role does Reiter Engineering have? Considering their racing past this could be interesting, but makes it all that much more perplexing given the supposed role of the Gallardo Superleggera. Could it be another special model and not a new updated lineup? Say a rwd special? I like the idea of that!

You talk like saying something bad about Ferraris is secret code for insulting your mom or something. Get over the fanboyism, my friend.

Which is no different than calling them a loser cause you disagree

So I take it this is a midrange between a regular Murcielago and an LP640?

Lamborghini has two models: The Murcielago and the Gallardo.

The Murcielago (580hp, 6.2l) is now called the Murcielago LP640. (640hp 6.5l)
The Gallardo (500hp 5.0l) will soon be called the Gallardo LP550. (550hp 5.2l)
