2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante after reducing the weight by 65 kg (143 lbs) and, this way, improving the Spyder’s performance. It achieved this by replacing numerous parts with carbon fiber components, both in the cabin and on the body. Those obsessed with numbers should know that 40% of the weight savings can be traced back to the exotic composite.

Include the body shell is a spaceframe structure, made from aluminum, another material that goes easy on the scales, while being extremely strong. Making this setup even better was a huge task, but, thanks to the aforementioned carbon fiber parts, in the end, engineers pulled it off.

Using the soft-top, engine and transmission, and also for parts of the bodykit, like the rear spoiler, diffuser and mirror casings. Furthermore, the center tunnel cover is also made from carbon fiber, as are the door panels and the sport seats’ shell. And the end result is total weight of 1,485 kg (3,275 lbs).

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante’s engine use 5.2-liter V10 unit, delivering an output of 570 hp at 8,000 rpm and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm. Power is sent to all four wheels through an automated e-gear six-speed transmission, which means that you’ll seldom run out of grip. A six-speed manual is offered as well, at no additional cost.

Lamborghini engineers didn’t mess around and used a running gear directly derived from motorsport, featuring a high-tech aluminum double wishbone setup. f you really want to, you can reach a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph), but keep in mind that your hairdo might suffer some dire consequences.

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante runs on 19-inch super-lightweight rims with titanium bearings and bolts and shod in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. The Italian maker says that this way it saved another 13 kg or 29 lbs. And it still comes with air conditioning and electric windows as standard

Design and aerodynamics - The beauty of power

The elegance of every Lamborghini rests on its extreme power and precise function. The design of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante, too, concentrates on the sheer essence of the design language - the bodyshell is pure sculpture and free of superfluous decoration. Its profile follows the contours of a dynamic wedge measuring 4.39 meters long, 1.90 meters wide, but only 1.18 meters high. Open or closed, the top of the Spyder Performante can handle the very highest speeds.

From the very first glance, the Spyder Performante is clearly recognizable as the open-top counterpart to the highly acclaimed and successful Gallardo Superleggera. The exterior modifications are all directed at increasing the aerodynamic effect in comparison to the Gallardo Spyder. Working closely with wind tunnel experts, designers from Lamborghini’s Centro Stile remodeled the front bumper – three-dimensional, deeply recessed elements form trapezoidal frames for the large air intakes. Together with the V-shaped, sharply defined nose and the LED daytime running lights, the black elements give the front end a razor-sharp look. The design also optimizes the supply of cooling air and improves the downforce on the front axle.

Modifications to the fully-covered underbody, new sill elements and a redesigned diffuser incorporating four large tailpipes also help to achieve better aerodynamic results. A large
optional rear spoiler is also available for the Spyder Performante
