Geneva 2008: Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 live and drool-worthy
Click above for a high-res gallery of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.
After circumnavigating the whole of the Geneva expo center, a strange force drew us to a minimalistic booth on the west side of the complex. There, we were afforded our first live glimpse of Lamborghini's newest exotica, the Gallardo LP560-4. As its name implies, the gussied-up Gallardo is sporting 560 hp from its new, direct-injected 5.2-liter V10. Hacking off 20 kilos from the curb weight allows the LP560-4 to rocket to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph, all the while increasing fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions by some 18-percent.
All the official details are available after the jump and we've assembled a high-res gallery of live and press images below.
