Lamborghini has really outdone itself lately, and the predecessor to the original Gallardo is a great example of that. The newly named Gallardo LP 560-4 outclasses the original car in almost every way, and it looks better too.

The car was officially announced back in March during the Geneva auto show. Some of the notable features are as follows:

• Features a new 5.2 litre V10 engine that pumps out 560hp. The original Gallardo does 520hp.
• It’s 20 kilograms lighter than the original Gallardo
• The power weight ratio is 2.5 kilograms per hp
• It does 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds
• Top speed of 201mph
• Increased fuel efficiency
• 18% less C02 emissions

From the exterior, the most notable updates is the new front end ( which looks a lot more Reventon looking), a new rear (which looks night and day better than its predecessor), and new wheels. The car is surely more refined looking:

One blog that I recently found was that of Samuel Hubinette, who is a professional drifter for Dodge/Mopar. If you read through his blog, you’ll see that he does a lot of promotional stuff like filming and driving in commercials for car makes. Back on March 31st, you’ll see a post he made about a commercial he was working on for the new Lamborghini Gallardio LP 560-4. It’s a pretty cool post with some nice behind the scenes pictures….but we were all dying to see the outcome. Look no further, the video was just released and it is amazing:

I love the film work in the video, and it really makes me want to buy the car….especially with the phone collector feature Too bad that the $200,000 USD price tag is just a bit over my price range. For more pictures of the car, check it out here.
