Lamborghini Gallardo successor will not debut until 2015

Lamborghini Gallardo was one of the most successful cars build in Sant'Agata Bolognese. This year, the Italian officials have decided to retire its supercar and, since then, everybody is waiting a replacement. According to a latest report, the Gallardo successor will not debut until 2015. 

The information was given by Cristiano Inverni, Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Asia Series coordinator in an interview for our colleagues from Motoring. 

"Since, in 2015, we're looking to launch the replacement of the Gallardo, then of course this will have also a racing version and that will be a new car. So from 2015 onwards we will continue racing under the Lamborghini brand but with a new car", said Inverni for Motoring.

A few months ago, a report was suggesting that the Gallardo successor will be called Cabrera. When Inverni was asked to confirm this news he was told that he doesn’t really know. 

According to a latest report, the Gallardo successor will come with a carbon fiber and aluminum spaceframe. Under the hood there will be a naturally aspirated 5.2 liter V10 unit with 600 horsepower and 541 Nm peek of torque.

2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Race Car

Lamborghini's latest race car 120% improvement in aerodynamic efficiency.
As outlined by Maurizio Reggiani, the 2013 Gallardo is based on the proven chassis and mechanical platform of its predecessor, but takes a significant step forward following extensive aerodynamic re-profiling of the surface geometries and the addition of adjustable aerodynamic devices, including an all-new ten-position rear wing.

The net benefit of this significant aerodynamic upgrade is 120% improvement in aerodynamic efficiency over the Gallardo's 2012 model. With re-modelling of brake ducts, the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo achieves a 50% improvement in thermal performance with improved front brake cooling, while better balance and dynamic performance is achieved by increasing downforce by 128kg in low downforce set up and 160kg in high downforce trim.

2006 Lamborghini Gallardo SE

The Lamborghini Gallardo SE (Special Edition) which is limited to 250 units is characterized by a two-tone body paint, an even more sporty interior and technical improvement. The basis for the Special Edition is the extreme, uncompromising and unsurpassed Lamborghini Gallardo.

The Lamborghini Gallardo SE is equipped with a permanent 4WD, 6 speed gearbox, aluminum space frame, ESP and ASR, ABS, ABD, air conditioning, as well as two front and two side airbags.

The color range consists of six alternatives: two grey shades as well as white (Balloon white), yellow (Giallo Midas), Orange (Arancio Borealis) and green (Verde Ithaca). The roof, the engine bonnet, the front and rear spoiler as well as the two side mirrors are painted in black (Nero Noctis) making them stand out against the body color. The rear lights are slightly tinted. The newly designed �Callisto� rims give an extra touch to the overall appearance which is complemented by the colored brake calipers (available in grey or yellow).

The interior design sets forth the two-tone concept by having all piping and stitching matching the exterior body color of the car. The Lamborghini shield is embossed on the headrest of the driver and passenger seat. The Lamborghini script is preciously inserted into the dashboard. The carpets are black having the borders again matching the exterior body color of the car. Needless to say that the entire interior is handcrafted in leather partially perforated and of supreme quality.
The interior design underlines the new, more aggressive personality of this Special Edition.

The limited Special Edition is richly equipped with standard features such as a rear view camera, which in combination with the build in multimedia screen facilitates parking. The sports suspensions with the sports steering wheel and in combination with the P Zero Corsa tire (specifically developed by Pirelli for more ambitious driving) are all standard features on the Special Edition. The long list of standard equipment comprises also an exclusive car cover.

Upon request a vast range of additional equipment is available. A customer can choose additionally the robotized gearbox e.gear, as well as a navigation system (depending on the country), heated side mirrors, fully electrical and heated seats. A winter package (heated seats, side mirrors, heated wash jets, rubber floor mats, 12 Volt outlet), and a lifting system are also available. Standard tires instead of sports tires can be ordered without surcharge.

The Gallardo SE benefits from several technical modifications:
The gearbox is now equipped with shorter gear ratios in the first five gears, enhancing the dynamic performance of the vehicle. The result is also shown in the acceleration from 0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds which improved by 0.2 seconds, achieving a top speed of 315 km/h versus 309 km/h previously. This is shown impressively on an e.gear equipped car with a feature called �thrust mode�, optimizing acceleration and gear change from a standing start throughout all gears.

The more direct and precise steering are additional modifications carried out to improve even more the superb handling of the vehicle.

2013 FAB Design Lamborghini Aventador kit - First official sketch

The guys from FAB Design have unveiled today a sketch with the upcoming program for the mighty Lamborghini Aventador. 

The Italian supercar is one of the most beloved cars by the tuning houses. As we can see in this sketch, the Aventador will come with a special body kit. 

We see new front and rear bumpers, a discrete roof scoop, a special hood, redesigned side skirts and a massive rear wing. The exterior mirrors will be also moved from the doors to the A pillar. 

The rumors are also speaking about a performance package. In this case, the V12 6.5 liter engine with 700 horsepower and 690 Nm could produce much power thanks to the magic made by FAB Design engineers.

2015 Lamborghini Veneno

Absolute lunacy is what Lamborghinis are supposed to be about, and it's something they have been neglecting a little bit over the last few years. They got rid of the scissor doors and replaced them with conventional ones, and have started making heavy use of Audi-sourced mechanicals. For high-end sports cars at least, Lamborghinis have gotten somewhat sensible, with only a few exceptions. They aren't boring by any means. They just don't seem to be on the same level of crazy that they used to be. But to celebrate their all-important fiftieth anniversary, Lamborghini pulled out all the stops and produced a car that is so wild that only they could have pulled it off. Unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the new Veneno is based on the flagship Aventador that was introduced in 2011. The engine is a development of the Aventador's 6.5 liter V-12, and produces 740 horsepower which, combined with the Veneno's futuristic and presumably aerodynamic bodywork, makes for a top speed of around 220 miles per hour. It also retains the four-wheel-drive, pushrod suspension and carbon chassis of the Veneno. All in all, it's the most bonkers Lambo since the Reventon.

might think that Lamborghini is running out of bullfighting words to name their new cars, but that is definitely not the case. Veneno was apparently a Spanish fighting bull, and one of the fiercest, during the early twentieth century. It also means poison in Spanish. Perhaps it's a hint at the deadly performance the car is capable of. In the styling department, all of the slits, juts and angles make for a shape that is not exactly graceful. In fact, it's kind of ridiculous. It is all very high-tech, however, and quite unmistakable.

Anyone itching to buy a Veneno will have to just put the checkbook down. Lamborghini only plans to build three of them, not including the Geneva show car (Chassis Number zero), and deposits have been taken on all three. What's the price? It's a stupefying $3.9 million, which makes it one of the most expensive automobiles ever built. While the silver Geneva car will stay with Lamborghini, the production versions will each be painted one color of the Italian flag. If the three owners ever get together, it should make for a fantastic photo opportunity. The Veneno may very well be a test car for technologies and features that will eventually make their way into the regular production Lamborghinis of the future. One example is the patented CarbonSkin, a kind of woven carbon fiber that is used in the seats and headliners on the Veneno. It's apparently soft to the touch and another example of how carbon is creeping into every aspect of automotive design these days. Other parts of the much talked about Veneno will probably make it into regular models, but hopefully the Lamborghinis of tomorrow are a just little bit prettier.

2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse will come to Frankfurt

Everybody loves the Lamborghini Gallardo, but this year, the Italian best-seller was retired. Even though, the Sant'Agatha Bolognese based car maker is preparing a last special edition for the Gallardo. Dubbed Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse it will be unveiled at this fall Frankfurt Motor Show. 

This limited edition is the most powerful and extreme road legal Gallardo ever produces. It is based on the Gallardo Super Trofeo race car and is features the same V10 5.0 liter engine with 570 horsepower. The engine resources are managed by a robotized e-gear six speed gear box. 

On the outside, the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse will feature a special exterior body kit. It will have a massive rear wing, a hood with quick release system and the Italian flag stickers. 

The rear wing is finished in matte black, while the hood, air intakes, rear diffuser and 19 inch wheels are painted in high-gloss black. Inside the cabin, the customers will get Alcantara leather, new racing seats and some special accessories.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 – A new reference among super sports cars

• Innovative concept and phenomenal performance redefine the pinnacle of the super sports car segment • Entirely new technology package, unique and powerful functional design language • Innovative carbon-fiber monocoque • New twelve-cylinder engine with 515 kW / 700 hp • Super-fast shifting ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission • Pushrod suspension • The very finest equipment and trim, extensive individualization

With the Aventador LP 700-4, Automobili Lamborghini is redefining the very pinnacle of the world super sports car market – brutal power, outstanding lightweight engineering and phenomenal handling precision are combined with peerless design and the very finest equipment to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. With the Aventador, Lamborghini is taking a big step into the future – and building on the glorious history of the brand with the next automotive legend. The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 in late summer 2011.

The technology package of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is utterly unique. It is based on an innovative monocoque made from carbon-fiber that combines exceptional lightweight engineering with the highest levels of stiffness and safety. The new twelve-cylinder with 6.5 liters’ displacement and 515 kW / 700 hp brings together the ultimate in high-revving pleasure with astonishing low-end torque. Thanks to a dry weight of only 1,575 kilograms (3,472 lb), which is extremely low for this class of vehicle, the weight-to-power ratio stands at only 2.25 kilograms per hp (4.96 lb/hp). Even the fantastic 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration figure of just 2.9 seconds and the top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph) do not fully describe the Aventador’s extreme performance. And yet, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are down by around 20 percent compared with its predecessor, despite the considerable increase in power (+8%).

The ISR transmission is unique among road-going vehicles, guaranteeing the fastest shifting time (only 50 milliseconds) and a highly emotional shift feel, while the lightweight chassis with pushrod suspension delivers absolute handling precision and competition-level performance. The expressively-designed interior offers hi-tech features ranging from the TFT cockpit display with Drive Select Mode system. The Aventador will be built to the very highest quality standards in an all-new production facility in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

“With the Aventador LP 700-4, the future of the super sports car is now part of the present. Its exceptional package of innovative technologies is unique, its performance simply overwhelming,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Aventador is a jump of two generations in terms of design and technology, it’s the result of an entirely new project, but at the same time it’s a direct and consistent continuation of Lamborghini’s brand values. It is extreme in its design and its performance, uncompromising in its standards and technology, and unmistakably Italian in its style and perfection. Overall, the dynamics and technical excellence of the Aventador LP 700-4 makes it unrivalled in the worldwide super sports car arena.”

Aventador: the name of one of the most courageous of all bulls

According to its tradition, Lamborghini’s new flagship bears the name of a bull – naturally, a particularly courageous specimen from the world of the Spanish Corrida. Aventador was the name of a bull that entered into battle in October 1993 at the Saragossa Arena, earning the “Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera” for its outstanding courage.

A sculpture of extreme dynamics

For Lamborghini, design is always the beauty of aggressive power, the elegance of breathtaking dynamics. From the very first glance, the new Aventador is unmistakably a Lamborghini, clothed in the brand’s characteristic and distinctive design language – with its extremely powerful proportions, its exact lines and precise surfaces, and with taut muscularity in every one of its details. The designers in the Centro Stile Lamborghini have carefully developed this design language to give the Aventador a significant new edge. It is an avantgarde work of art, an incredibly dynamic sculpture, from the sharply honed front end through the extremely low roofline to the distinctive rear diffuser. Every line has a clear function, every form is dictated by its need for speed, yet the overall look is nothing less than spectacular and breathtaking.

The doors open upward – of course

Truly impressive proportions come from an overall length of 4,78 meters (188.19 in.) matched with an impressive width of 2,26 meters (88.98 in.) including the exterior mirrors, and further accentuated by an extremely low height of just 1.136 mm (44.72 in.). It goes without saying that both doors of the carbon-fiber monocoque open upward – a feature that was first introduced in the now legendary Countach and then used for subsequent V12 models such as Diablo and Murciélago. However, the Aventador also evokes its immediate predecessor the Murciélago – electronically managed air intakes open depending on the outdoor temperature and the need for cooling air,ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those whishing to flaunt the heart of their Lamborghini, the optional transparent engine bonnet exhibits the twelve-cylinder engine like a technical work of art in a display case. Exclusive and high-tech interior

The Aventador’s spacious interior combines the fine exclusivity of premium materials and perfect Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and generous equipment. The red switch cover on the broad center tunnel encloses the start button used to awaken the twelve-cylinder. The interior is dominated by a next-generation dashboard – as in a modern airplane, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD screen using innovative display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to the standard-fit multimedia and navigation system.

Carbon-fiber monocoque

The new Lamborghini flagship has a full monocoque. The entire occupant cell, with tub and roof, is one single physical component. This ensures extreme rigidity and thus outstanding driving precision, as well as an extremely high level of passive safety for the driver and his passenger. The entire monocoque weighs only 147.5 kilograms (325.18 lb).

The monocoque, together with the front and rear Aluminium frames, features an impressive combination of extreme torsional stiffness of 35,000 Newton meters per degree and weighs only 229.5 kilograms (505.9 lb).

Maximum revs, amazing sound

For the Aventador LP 700-4, the engineers in Lamborghini’s R&D Department have developed a completely new high-performance power unit – an extremely powerful and high-revving, but very compact power unit. At 235 kilograms (518 lb), it is also extremely lightweight. A V12 with 515 kW (700 hp) at 8,250 rpm sets a whole new benchmark, even in the world of super sports cars. The maximum torque output is 690 Newton meters (509 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm. The extremely well-rounded torque curve, the bull-like pulling power in every situation, the spontaneous responsiveness and, last but not least, the finely modulated but always highly emotional acoustics are what make this engine a stunning power plant of the very highest order.

Innovative transmission for maximum performance

Engineers at Lamborghini have created the perfect mate for the new twelve-cylinder engine with the highly innovative ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission. The development objective was clearly formulated – to build not only the fastest robotized gearbox, but also to create the world’s most emotional gear shift. Compared with a dual-clutch transmission, not only is the ISR gearbox much lighter, it also has smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit – both key elements in the field of lightweight engineering for super sports cars.

Refined and safe with all-wheel drive

This kind of extreme power must be delivered reliably to the road. The driver of the Aventador LP 700-4 can depend fully on its permanent all-wheel drive – indicated by the 4 in the model designation. In the driveline, an electronically controlled Haldex coupling distributes the forces between front and rear. In a matter of milliseconds, this coupling adapts the force distribution to match the dynamic situation. A self-blocking rear differential together with a front differential electronically controlled by ESP make for even more dynamic handling. The Drive Select Mode System enables the driver to choose vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differential, steering and dynamic control) from three settings – Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (track) – to suit his individual preferences. Pushrod suspension

Lamborghini has equipped its new V12 super sports car with an innovative and highly sophisticated suspension concept. The pushrod spring and damper concept was inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to meet the needs of a high-performance road-going vehicle. Together with aluminum double wishbone suspension and a carbon-fiber ceramic brake system, this lightweight chassis represents a further aspect of the new flagship’s unique technology concept.

Extensive assistance and safety systems

In the hands of its driver, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is a high-precision machine – spontaneous, direct and always reliable. The driver is also assisted by the latest electronic systems such as the incredibly sporty, adjustable ESP system. When it comes to passive safety, front, head-thorax and knee airbags play their part alongside the extremely stiff carbon-fiber cell.

A rich and wide-ranging individualization program

A Lamborghini should always fit perfectly with the style and preferences of its owner. To this end, the range of individualization options is virtually inexhaustible. There is a selection of 13 production paint colors to choose from, three of which are highly sophisticated matt tones. A choice of two-tone interiors are offered with the “Sportivo” and “Elegante” versions, while a premium audio system and reversing camera are among the many technology options. And of course, the “Ad Personam” individualization program knows no limits when it comes to colors and materials.
