Lamborghini Gallardo "Superleggera" Geneva Sneak Preview: 10hp more, 100 kg less
530Hp, 1.330kg and 0-100km/h in 3,8 sec: that’s the Gallardo “Superleggera†is in a nutshell. Unlike our previous post on the Opel Agila, the “Superleggera†is a done deal; this souped-up lightweight Gallardo will make its appearance at the Geneva Show. We had been tipped about this one but we didn’t have any photos to go with it until now that is, thanks to a “paparazzi†at Supercar Forums who posted a scanned image of the car from Quattroruote magazine. -Continued: Click “Read More…†below The “Superleggera†boasts minor engine upgrades, adding another 10hp to the 5.0 V10 thus, raising output to 530Hp. 
Even though the ‘Superleggera†(unfortunately) maintains the 4WD system, thanks to the extensive use of carbonfibre and the stripped-down-to-basics interior the Gallardo lost 100kg (220,5 pounds) reducing overall weight to 1.330kg (2.932 pounds).
Expect changes in the brake and suspension departments as well as the obvious aesthetic upgrades that include sexy dark grey rims and a rear diffuser. Apart from promising to offer improved handling over the basic Gallardo the “Superleggera†also boasts a better time for the 0 to 100 km/h sprint as it manages to do the ton in 3,8 sec (normal version 4,2 sec). -UPDATE: OFFICIAL PICS
