As expected due to the rumors, Lamborghini uncovered today ahead of Geneva Motor Show debut the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera a.k.a. the latest model in the Gallardo line-up.

According to the manufacturer the Gallardo Superleggera has been trimmed by 70 kilograms (154 lb) and has a dry weight of no more than 1340 kilograms (2954 lb), which means is the lightest road-going model in Lamborghini's range.
Also, the car features exterior and interior component made from carbon-fiber.
