2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder
Lamborghini revealed its latest model at the 2011 LA Auto Show: this is the Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder! For those who don’t know, the LP stands for Longitudinale/Posteriore, for the mid-engine built longitudinally in front of the rear axle while the 550 refers to the power output in hp, and the 2 stands for the drive to the rear wheels. This means that the definition of the car is real simple: we have 550 hp for the rear wheels and plenty of fun!
With the help of the 5.2-liter V10 engine, the LP 550-2 sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4,2 seconds and has a top speed of 319 km/h or almost 200 mph. Thanks to systematic Lamborghini lightweight design and an extremely low dry weight of just 1,520 kilograms.
"With the Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder, we are expanding the Lamborghini lineup with a purist model that adds yet another dimension of driving fun. This will appeal in particular to a very special group of customers that enjoy a spirited driving style and also like to experience the sheer pleasure of open-air driving," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "This special model with rear-wheel drive is a logical expansion of our lineup of spyder models with all-wheel drive."
