Lamborghini launches lightened version of Gallardo

 

 

SINGAPORE: Italian car maker Lamborghini has just launched its newest model - the Gallardo Superleggera.

The Superleggera which means Superlight, is 100kg lighter than the regular Gallardo.

 

This latest car, revealed on Thursday at a launch in Singapore, boasts 530 horsepower and is made mostly of lightweight carbon-fibre parts.

 

And this allows the driver to reach high speeds in a shorter time, while using less fuel.

 

The cost? A cool S$918,000, inclusive of COE.

 

In the super-car ladder, the Superleggera is said to be close to the Murcielago flagship.

 

Lamborghini says it will also soon launch a new range of its Murcielago and it would be called, the Murcielago Roadster. - CNA/yy

A cool S$100,000 more expensive for a 100kg lighter car. Its more track-oriented and its a beaut!

 

Cheers!

The may issue of STUFF Singapore (The IT Mag, not the Hotstuff carmag) puts the Lamborgyhini Gallardo Superleggera at ard $435,000.

 

The actual price comes out at more than twice the amount. Lousy mag, for a moment, I thot lighten = cheaper = below 500k.

[Guniang]

if the price come so low it will b the next wrx...so many on the road den nth special liao...

[Vit4wd]

Strike $10 million TOTO I'd rather invest in property than a car.

 

1st thing I will do is to sell my 3 room flat and move into a condominium.

I think its ok to pamper yourself wif a good enough car.

 

Maybe a S class, 911 , 430 or something similar?

i think the $100k extra is not solely because of the weight reduction.

but mainly because it uses alot of carbon fibre stuffs.

[Turbonetics]

i will do that too.

this is call passion for cars.
