Unveiled at Volkswagen’s Press Night, during the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show; the spicy new Gallardo is derived from the racers that compete in the one-make Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series, hence the name.This, assembled congeries of the Internet, is the most extreme Lamborghini Gallardo ever built: it is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. And it has a ruddy long name.Greet it with caution, however. This new Lamborghini takes inspiration from its racing brethren that compete in the Blancpain Super Trofeo championship; a one-make series composed entirely of Gallardos.The engine remains untouched - a 562bhp 5.2-litre V10 - that sends those horses and 398 torques via a robotised e-gear six-speed transmission to all four-wheels, complete with a ‘Thrust Mode' to allow full bore, 5,000rpm standing starts "with minimal tyre slippage". There will be some, probably.
Performance figures are thus: 0-62mph takes 3.4 seconds, 0-124mph takes 13.8 seconds and top speed is just shy of 200mph, pretty much identical to the Super-El.
