LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO LP560-4........!!!!!!!!!!!

LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO LP560-4 CAR REVIEW

They call it the baby bull. The powerful heart of the Gallardo LP560-4 is the new 5.2 litre V10 engine with an output of 560 PS (412 kW) at 8000 rpm. The increase of 40 PS compared with that of the previous Gallardo, and the approximate 20 kilogram reduction in weight, improves the power weight ratio to 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and thus enhances performance. The LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, its speed at 11.8 seconds is 200 km/h and its top speed lies at 325 km/h. These improvements make the updated iteration of the baby bull quicker than Porsche's 911 Turbo and Audi's R8. Then again, starting at $203,000, it should.
