2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

 

A car that can go from 0-to-62-mph sprint of 3.7 seconds, has 552hp, from last year's 512hp, and 44 lb lesser in weight. Thanks to its engine which is 66 pounds lighter than the 2008 Gallardo. The new Gallardo  also consumes eighteen percent better fuel economy than the previous unit. Due to its direct fuel injection, the LP560 is easier on the pocket compared to the old one, especially now that gas prices are unstable.

 

 

The new unit has improved its weight to increase power and be environmentally friendly. But there is more to the LP560 other than its weight-to-power ratio. It can now shift 40 percent faster, when it comes to its E-sequential manual transmission.  It also has a launch control program called "thrust mode" and "Corsa setting" which raises the threshold of stability control intervention and sharpens shifts. A new suspension was made for 2009 Gallardo that the press has exaggerated its description that you will want it to be your suspension ( Even Lamborghini itself was surprised with their words). Available in three colors, notable of which is "Nero Nemesis".

 

 

Lamborghini has conducted a demonstration for the press to let them see what it is really made of.  The "-4" in LP560-4 stands for its four wheel drive but it has -30 torque in the front wheels thus having poor pulling power. One driver concluded that the Gallardo loves to oversteer. He accidentally discovered this while turning right from Sahara Boulevard onto the Strip.  Also having a 31 percent more downforce and said to top speed at 202 mph (53 pounds of lift at the front axle and 115 pounds of lift at the rear) compared to its rival Ferrari's F430  that has  616 pounds downforce at 186 mph top speed.

 

 

 

The 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is sold at pre ordered at $201,000.
