Premier4590 is launching a new body kit for Lamborghini Gallardo. The Japanese tuning company released a similar body kit like the one used on Continental GT some while ago. The new package features aerodynamic redesigns for the front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and rear spoiler and as an option, the package offers also stainless steel exhaust tips. All pieces are hand made in Japan and will be built using a combination of Carbon Fiber and FRP. “For this line up we have assembled our best teams of craftsmen in Japan to hand build these parts." said Hironoa Yokomaku, president of Premier4509.
The design of the kit will aid the aerodynamic efficiency and will direct the airflow to vent crucial components on the vehicle. "We’ve been in this business for twenty years now and we’ve always been known for our quality. The design is reminiscent of where Lamborghini is headed in design. I wanted to capture that essence while offering a dramatic option to Gallardo owners," said Yokomaku.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The successor of the most successful Lamborghini model of all time will go on sale later this year at a price of $198,000. With its help Lamborghini hopes to boost sales to 2,500 units worldwide in 2008.
The Gallardo LP560-4 is powered by the new 5.2 litre V10 engine with an output of 560 PS (412 kW) at 8000 rpm. The increase of 40 PS compared with that of the previous Gallardo, and the approximate 20 kilogram reduction in weight, improves the power weight ratio to 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and thus enhances performance. The LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, its speed at 11.8 seconds is 200 km/h and its top speed lies at 325 km/h.
A very cool supercar next to a hot blonde = deadly combination for a man! Watch Holly Flakus and a hot yellow Lamborghini Gallardo and you will understand what I am talking about.
Due to the launch of the new Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini has end the production of the Gallardo Superleggera. Last model have been built and sent to dealers.
During the production run, 172 Superleggeras were sent to the U.S: 46 were painted orange, 45 yellow, 37 black, 34 gray, and 10 white.
Gallardo Superleggera is powered by a 4,961 cm3 V10 engine that delivers 530 hp at 8,000 min. Thanks to increased power (an additional 10 hp) and a 220 lbs reduction in weight (USA154 lbs), the new range-leading Gallardo Superleggera is even more dynamic than the already very sporty Gallardo. The weight/power ratio of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is only 2.5 kg/hp, which puts it unquestionably at the top. It needs only 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph).
It is obviously that a Roadster version of the newly launched LP560-4 will also follow. After all the Gallardo Spyder is a huge hit, and how the LP560-4 is Gallardo’s successor, is normal, no? And even if we can not give you the exact moment, here’s how it might look like.
The LP560-4 (Coupe version) made its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show. It is powered by a 5.2 litre V10 engine with an output of 552 hp at 8000 rpm. The LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, its speed at 11.8 seconds is 200 km/h and its top speed lies at 325 km/h (201 mph). Same specifications are also expected for the Roadster version.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 was launched last month at the Geneva Motor Show. It is powered by the new 5.2 litre V10 engine with an output of 560 PS (412 kW) at 8000 rpm. The increase of 40 PS compared with that of the previous Gallardo, and the approximate 20 kilogram reduction in weight, improves the power weight ratio to 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and thus enhances performance. The LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, its speed at 11.8 seconds is 200 km/h and its top speed lies at 325 km/h.
Lamborghini unveiled today the Gallardo LP560-4, the successor of the most successful Lamborghini model of all time.

Weight is undesirable in a sports car and a lightweight model encourages the dynamics of such a vehicle. Aluminium is much lighter than sheet steel and this is why the Gallardo LP560-4 is produced with a body in a much lighter but nevertheless more stiff structure: the two-seater car measures 4.34 metres in length, 1.90 metres in width and a mere 1.16 metres in height. It weighs in dry at 1410 kilograms - which is, effectively, 20 kilograms less that that of the previous Gallardo.
The construction of the Gallardo LP560-4 utilises what is known as a ‘spaceframe construction method’. Integrally moulded node elements and extruded parts create its frame, and sheet metal plates made out of aluminium have been neatly and securely integrated to form the body. The body is not only extremely light but also torsionally stiff and displays the highest safety characteristics. Thus the basis for the extraordinary handling characteristics of the LP560-4 is formed.
Lamborghini is about to unveil an updated version of the Gallardo at the Geneva Motor Show. But the LP560-4 is not the only big news coming: a successor for the Gallardo will also come in 2010. Even if there is no official name for the car yet, we now for sure will be a stunning supercar that will come to compete with Ferrari’s F430 successor.
A few months ago we told you about a successor for the Murcielago that will be launched in 2011. If the 2011 Murcielago will have an output of around 700 hp, the Gallado will go up to 600 hp (40 hp more than the LP560-4 that will be launched in Geneva).
As about the future’s supercar name, well it is pretty hard to predict. We only know it will be named after a famous fighting bull, like every other Lamborghini model.
