Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera Production Has Ended

The Superleggera will live on in our dreams. At least we have the new Gallardo LP560-4 to look forward to.

The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is no more. The last examples of this lightweight model have been built and sent to dealers, so if you’re looking to pick one up you’d better run to your local Lambo store.

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

More power, less weight, longer name: The 2009 Gallardo LP560-4 is Lamborghini’s latest salvo against the Ferrari F430.

With fuel prices what they are, let me get straight to the most important fact about the 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4: it gets eighteen percent better fuel economy. Eighteen percent better than what, you ask? Well, eighteen percent better than last year’s Gallardo, which didn’t have the benefit of direct fuel injection. According to my calculations, the new Gallardo’s petrochemical parsimony will save commuters as much as $350 per year over 10,000 miles, and that’s real money back in your pocket - money that can be put toward important family-budget items such as Grey Goose bottle service, fractional helicopter ownership, and Tod’s loafers. Saving money while saving the environment? Thanks, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4!

Fast Times at Lamborghini

Fast Times at Lamborghini

It’s been quite a rollercoaster ride for the company that launched a million Countach posters.

By 1980, Lamborghini was considered finished.” This is not the sort of statement you’d expect to read in a car company’s official account of its history. But Lamborghini’s own sixteen-page guide to its museum at the Sant’Agata Bolognese headquarters is refreshingly candid about the storied company’s many missteps and the periodic behind-the-scenes chaos that defined Lamborghini prior to Audi’s ownership. The brand survived long enough to reach prosperity because it managed to dream up charismatic cars, but for many years those iconic models - Miura, Countach, Diablo - were bred in an environment of utter corporate dysfunction

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 - North American Debut

The redesigned Gallardo is here and it gets a numerical name: 560 metric hp and all-wheel drive. Oh, and we built one.

The Gallardo LP560-4 is making its North American debut at the 2008 New York show.

Presented to the public at the 2008 Geneva auto show for the very first time is the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Somewhere in the gray area between a “face-lift” and an “all-new car,” the LP560-4 replaces the current Gallardo when it goes on sale this spring. (At that time, the Gallardo Superleggera will be discontinued, although the Gallardo Spyder will continue in its current form.)

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo

Lamborghini invites our Jason Cammisa to build the first-ever Gallardo LP560-4. Everyone survives.

I turn around and see something so upsetting that I almost drop a differential on the ground. Someone is affixing a black and gold Lamborghini badge to the hood of a completely naked Gallardo body within seconds of its arrival on the production line. Already?! It doesn’t even have an engine in it! No, No, No! This is Italy, the birthplace of opera, for crying out loud! The Lamborghini badge is supposed to be screwed on during a formal crowning ceremony in an incense-filled booth at the end of the assembly line. A teary-eyed Italian engineer should decree the vehicle worthy by signing the build sheet with an oxblood fountain pen while white-gloved courtiers carefully apply the badge to the hood. Onlookers should weep.

Geneva, March 4 — Italian super sports car giant Lamborghini unveiled its new Gallardo Coupe LP560-4 at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday 4th March. The company is famous for the striking looks of its cars - and internet chatrooms have been buzzing lamborghini news:
