2010 Lamborghini Gallardo Lp560-4 Spyder Convertible 2-door 5.2l on 2040-cars
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
|
The beating heart of the Spyder continues to be a 5.2-liter
10-cylinder that pumps out a fiery 552 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 398 ft-lbs
of torque at 6,500 rpm. That's enough power to hit 62 mph in a scant four
seconds, and the sprint to twice that speed -- 124 mph -- takes just 13.1
seconds. Aiding in the Gallardo's acceleration is an all-wheel-drive system
that provides optimal traction and also helps make handling more neutral. A gated six-speed manual transmission is available for
purists, while those looking for the convenience of clutchless shifting in
their sports car can opt for a six-speed E-gear transmission (that's
Lamborghini-speak for a six-speed single-clutch automated manual). The E-gear transmission was recently completely redesigned,
resulting in a reduction in gear change times by 40 percent. The driver can
also now choose between five different driving and changing programs. The most
performance-oriented "CORSA" setting not only affects shift speed --
it also directs the engine for maximum acceleration. The 'Thrust Mode' ensures
maximum acceleration from neutral while the angle of the throttle valve and the
clutch are optimized. Fuel economy - hardly a priority in this class - is rated at
13/20 with the E-gear and 12/20 with the manual gearbox. Wondering about the confusing alphanumeric portion of the
Spyder's name? "LP" denotes the longitudinal position of the engine,
"560" reflects its European horsepower rating, and the "4"
designation indicates all-wheel-drive. The Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder fulfills the not yet obligatory
European pedestrian safety regulations, without compromising the look of the
car. Naturally, Lamborghini paid just as much attention to the
safety of its occupants as it did to pedestrians. The Spyder features twin
spring-loaded rollover bars that deploy within 250 milliseconds in a rollover
situation -- simultaneously activating the seatbelt tensioners for optimal
occupant safety. An optional carbon-ceramic-disc braking system makes use of
eight-piston Brembo calipers up front, and four-piston calipers at he rear.
Rotor size is 14.4 inches at the front and 14 inches at the rear. |

Get a load of these crazy European Nimrods
Wed, 05 Mar 2014I've been attending the Geneva Motor Show for the better part of a decade, and it's become my favorite stop on the entire show circuit, in large part because of all the exotic automakers, coachbuilders and green startups. I also love the Palexpo's consistently mind-bending displays of tuners, who typically work exclusively on six-figure automobiles. Some offer subtle improvements and personalization programs, but most seem hellbent on being more outlandish and bizarre than the next, a room full of millionaire class clowns. More often than not, I spy something and think to myself "What kind of Nimrod would do that to a perfectly good ____ ?" This year, that rhetorical question is in fact a self-answering one.
The jokes, they write themselves.
But seriously, if you're wondering who would take a perfectly lovely Ferrari 458 Italia or a Lamborghini Aventador and affix a wild body kit of dubious aerodynamic and aesthetic merit at great extra cost (both to the car's MSRP and to its assuredly grenaded resale value), the answer could very well be Nimrod Elite Tuning, a newer high-end restyling house out of Slovakia. That last locational tidbit might also explain the company's unusual name, which is likely a nod to a mighty Biblical hunter (descendant of Ham and a king of Shinar, Nimrod is mentioned in Genesis and Chronicles) and not meant to be taken as a synonym for "idiot" or "moron."
Lamborghini Cabrera 'Ring session caught on video
Wed, 25 Sep 2013While our spy photographers were getting shots of the Lamborghini Gallardo replacement, said to be called "Cabrera," at the Nürburgring, there were other spotters lurking who caught the thing on video. It could just be the audio captured by the camera mic, but to our ears the exhaust sounds deeper and more burbly than that on the current car. One audio cue that can't be missed, however, is the speed of the gearchanges; think dual-clutch.
The reworked 5.2-liter V10 sitting behind the cockpit is expected to put out around 600 horsepower, sent either to all four wheels or just the rears depending on customer preference. The sights and sounds await you in the video below, your own ruminations can be heard in Comments just below that.
Charity supercar run results in 3 Lamborghinis going up in flames
Sat, 07 Dec 2013A charity drive in Singapore went quite awry when a convoy of Lamborghinis smashed into each other on one of the city-state's highways, with one of the cars catching fire. And while it's easy to assume that the supercars were at fault, initial reports contradict that assumption.
It turns out the crash was a chain reaction set off by a local driver swerving toward two Gallardos and an Aventador, sending the latter into the guard rail and causing it to go up in flames. According to the report on CarBuzz, there were no injuries in the incident, although the circumstances - super cars burning in the midst of a charity event - draw some parallels to the tragic accident involving Paul Walker and Roger Rodas.
There's a short video taken after the wreck that can be viewed below. CarBuzz also has a few different images of the accident, aside from the screencap shown above.
