Gallardo LP550 Details Revealed
Thanks to the Quattroruote Italian Magazine we have gotten a good glimpse of the new Gallardo LP550. For weeks we have seen many different spy shots – but now we get a look at it without all of the camouflage and can truly see the changes that have been made.
The scans of the magazine picture show us the defined features of the revised rear grille, quad tailpipes, and the front air dam – which has been more pronounced. New struts have been added and frame a third central intake located just below the front bumper. The openings for the exhaust have been reshaped as well as the grille in order to allow better engine heat dissipation.
The LP550 will be powered by a V10 – which will displace 5.2 liters and release a powerful 550 horsepower. You can imagine the kind of noise that it emits when all this power is released. We have been told though that it is surprisingly quiet when it is idle. Lamborghini will be revealing the LP550 at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show.
