9000 Horses Stampede in Singapore
10 Jul 2008|10,027 views
Well, 8960 horses to be exact - in the form of 16 raging bulls from Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. Each raging bull - the new and highly anticipated Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 - produces 560 horsepower and 540 Newton metres of torque. The first lucky customers will have their cars delivered in August.
The name is derived from its longitudinal engine position - hence "LP" for Longitudinale Posteriore, and the numbers "560" for, well, the horsepower of course. "4" highlights its four-wheel drive system.
Built around a new 5.2-litre V10 powerplant instead of 5.0-litres, it delivers 52 hp more than the previous Gallardo and zero to hundred is dealt with in a quick 3.7 seconds. Keep your right foot down and you will soon see it hitting 200 km/h in 11.8 seconds, and on to a top speed of 325 km/h.
Despite Lamborghini's reputation for building some truly insane cars and their CEO Stephan Winkelmann's nonchalant response to the EU's war on carbon emissions, the new Gallardo has managed to increase its power while reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 18%.
Signs of yielding to pressure? Not really, that's basically the result when Lamborghini put in a new fuel injection system called the "Iniezione Diretta Stratificata", similar to Audi's Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) technology.
The Gallardo has also shed 20 kilos from its previous iteration, bringing it to a total of 1,410 kg. Weight distribution is now spread between its front and rear at 43:57, compared to 42:58 front and rear in the older model. A Viscous Traction system splits its powerful 540 Nm between the front and rear at a ratio of 30:70 and makes adjustments to it whenever necessary.
The automated e-gear transmission has also been reworked and is capable of changing gears 40% faster when the car is in "CORSA" mode. And in case you don't speak Italian, "corsa" means "race".
Other modes include "SPORT", "Automatic", a "Thrust Mode" for maximum acceleration, and interestingly, a "normal" mode, which we still can't figure out what to do with it considering the fact that you have all the other options.
One other choice customers can opt for is the Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Instead of the 365mm front and 356mm rear discs, the carbon ceramic ones will not only save weight, they are also larger - up to 380mm at the front and 356mm at the rear.
Buyers can further customise their cars with Lamborghini's Ad Personam programme, allowing them to choose any colour they want their car, both on the outside and inside.
Prices start at S$898,000 with COE and if you want one, you'd better have your cheque books ready as the 16 allocated for this year have already been spoken for.
