Next Lambo Superleggera

According to rumours hardcore version of LP560-4 is planned soon. The name of the 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera successor will be LP570-4 SV and it packs less weight, only 10hp more and a stripped-down interior. Reworked front suspension and CC brakes are expected also.

The brand new supercar will feature a new front spoiler with similar style as the LP670-4 SV and a large rear wing like the Supertrofeo G. That is really it, nothing revolutionary.

Dealers and VIP customers will be able to see the hardcore version of the current Gallardo at a presentation event next January. The public unveiling is expected for the Geneva Motor Show 2010. Deliveries to customers start from May 2010.

But this isn’t the complete story! This SV-version will not be the last version in the Gallardo LP560-4 series, a fifth and final hardcore rearwheel drive version will come later next year or early 2011 to keep production running until 2012 when the Gallardo successor is expected.

So prepare yourself for a LP570-4 SV in 2010 and a LP590-2 SV in 2011!

Lamborghini Toro Concept design by Amadou Ndiaye

Another Lamborghini design concept has come out of the woodworks, only this time, the study was done by independent designer Amadou Ndiaye.

Calling it the Lamborghini Toro LA690-4 - a modern rendition of the Lamborghini Espada of the 60’s – Ndiaye named it LA690-4, which stands for “Longitudinale anteriore” (“Front Longitudinal” in English) while the number ‘690’ stands for the car’s supposed horsepower and ‘4’ for its all-wheel drive system. Ndiaye also outfitted the Toro LA690-4 with a front-mid mounted V12 engine and a 7-speed double clutch transmission. As far as the car’s exterior is concerned, the designer opted to use both carbon fiber and magnesium to maintain the car’s weight.

Overall, the Toro LA690-4 looks extremely stylish although we can’t find a uniquely distinct quality about it that Lamborghini hasn’t already used in the past. Nevertheless, it scores with us, both for the aggressive package and the awesome name.
