Lambo makes lighter Gallardo

Superleggera version even faster and lighter

---

Lamborghini is set to launch a new lightweight version of the Gallardo at the Geneva motor show next month.

The Gallardo Superleggera will generate 530bhp from its 5-litre V10 and weigh 1,330Kg -- that's 10bhp more and 100Kg lighter. The result is that it'll hit 62mph in 3.8 seconds -- that's 0.1 seconds faster that yer common-or-garden Gallardo.

The four-wheel drive system is retained -- that'd be too expensive to strip out -- but with the extensive use of carbonfibre and a stripped interior, the car's lost a lot of weight, which makes the handling even sharper.

Don't crash it, mind. Carbon fibre's not cheap...

Best looking recent Lambo by far....but how ££££££?
