Yes, you read it correctly. It is LP550-2
Lamborghini is rumoured to be
testing a Gallardo with two wheel drive. With the deletion of the
front differential, it's rumoured to have slimmed down by
30kg. The 0-100kmh time now is 3.9 seconds. Top speed is yet
unknown.
Engine is retuned to cope with two wheel drive and, hence, lost
10 Italian horses. But you won't consider this a big loss if you
consider the 30kg weight loss. Externally there's no difference as
you can see from the leaked pictures. Only that added racing stripe
down the center and maybe a few special colours for it.
Be ready to see it unveiled real soon at the next
motorshow.
Added: And instead of marketing as a higher performance Gallardo
selling at a higher price, it's actually going to be 10% cheaper
than the LP560-4. That's gonna cost roughly S$800,000. Surprise
surprise.
