Italy’s Lamborghini enters the Quattroroute in the luxury class of the SUV’s, with a model number which will be shadowed in the first phase of a concept. It will be unveiled at Geneva 2012, but in China.

Lamborghini officials decided: the 4 door coupe concept Lamborghini Estoque is dead, the athlete will have a green light and the luxurious Lamborghini SUV will be amaizing. So the Italy’s claim that Quattroroute know how it will look their next model - or even the concept that anticipates to be the new Lamborghini SUV.
According to Italian journalists, we first see the Lamborghini SUV as a concept, but not in spring at Geneva Motor Show 2012, but a little later in China at Beijing Auto Show 2012. The series would be launched at the end of 2014, with a very few aesthetic changes to the concept.
For now, the Italians speculate the technical level, so the Lamborghini SUV will receive the technical platform already known at Porsche Cayenne (which is also used on Volkswagen Touareg, but will be found even on the new generation Audi Q7 and on the future Bentley luxury SUV).
Compared to the Cayenne SUV, it will be a more sporty Lamborghini and is not excluded that under the hood to be mounted even the Aventador’s  V12 engine with an output of 700 hp, other options would be the V10 engine from Gallardo or Audi R8 or even a turbocharged V8 and 500 hp, derived from the Audi S8. It is quite likely to benefit from Lamborghini SUV and hybrid, while the sophisticated four-wheel drive is standard on all versions.

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is already an exclusive car. Not exclusive enough for the HRE specialist, it seems.

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, if we can say about that, is a response to Ferrari F430, so the Gallardo tuned by Edo Competition could be a competitor for Novitec Rosso and Ferrari 430?
Not really, because EDO was not complicated with major changes to the engine - the aspirated V10 engine remains unchanged on its place, but reaches to 560 hp, the same power as the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560. This power is reached at 540 hp and reaches a peak torque of 8452 rpm. Enough for the start to 100 km / h to take place in about 3.7 seconds and up to 200 km / h in only 11.7 seconds, while maximum speed reaches to 320 km / h.

If Novitec Rosso  chose a supercharger double grafting Ferrari 430 Scuderia and the changes were limited to taking the mapping unit central carbon fiber intake, but, above all, by adopting a new exhaust pipes with a new catalytic system. Also, the sound can be modified discharges from a button on the board, activating the valve.
Other changes include lowering the car’s suspension with 15 mm and the adoption of 19 inch wheels in three pieces and a new tire pressure monitoring. There is no information about the price of these changes, but we are sure that EDO Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera Competition is more expensive than Novitec Rosso Ferrari 430, although the performance on paper are very close one to another and the list of options are almost the same for both cars.

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is the Gallardo sports at this time. However, attention is devoted to both, those who understand fully what it means uncompromising sportiness. The new Lamborghini Gallardo Leggera opened at Geneva Motor Show 2007, immediately became a reference point for the super sport car fans with pedigree. To a normal Gallardo, Superleggera “lost weight” of not less than 100 kg of its total mass, which now reaches 1465 kg – one of the main solutions includes the use of light weight materials like carbon fiber onto the back and front, side skirts , mirror housings, door panels and central tunnel. The hood is made of carbon fiber, while the window, that shows the engine is a transparent poly-carbonate material and other glass surfaces. Inside, new seats are made of monocoque carbon fiber and are covered in Alcantara, contributing to lower the total mass. The 5.0 liter V10 engine is changed subtly, improving volumetric efficiency – were reduced intake load losses and exhaust pressures eliminated with electronic control panel update. The power of the car is 530 hp / 8.100 rpm, 10 hp more than the Gallardo Spyder and 30 hp more than the regular Gallardo. The transmission is a robot E-Gear, guaranteeing fast and smoothly changes of the 6 speed gearbox. Wheel-drive system remains valid, with the central viscous coupling and automatic connection. Thus we are not surprised that a report Gallardo Leggera achieve mass / power of only 2.5 kg / hp, which translates into a noticeable improvement for the performance for the racing enthusiasts: only 3.8 seconds from 0-100 km / h, a 0.2 second better than the base model.
