The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale is based on the
successful race car from the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, the
world’s fastest single-make series. The Lamborghini Blancpain Super
Trofeo championship brings professional racers and gentlemen drivers
face-to-face in fiercely fought battles on Europe’s most challenging
racetracks such as Monza, Silverstone and Hockenheim. There are many
similarities between the racing and road versions of this super sports
car. For example, they both share the same V10 powerplant, which is used
in the racing version with no modifications.
Right from first glance, these similarities are even more evident in
the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. In fact, it is equipped
with the same rear spoiler that offers greater aerodynamic load –
reaching in the best aerodynamic condition 3 times the load of the
Gallardo LP 560-4 – for increased dynamic stability during tight,
high-speed driving. As in the race cars, the rear spoiler can be varied
manually in order to let the driver optimize the car’s performance
according to the track or road characteristics.
Another element taken directly from the racing version is the
removable engine hood with quick-release system. Both the spoiler and
the hood are of course made of carbon composite material, as are a host
of other components on the SuperTrofeo Stradale. Together with aluminum,
carbon fiber is the basis behind the extremely lightweight construction
of Gallardo’s new top model.
Like the Super Trofeo competition version, the new Super Trofeo
Stradale is based on the Gallardo Superleggera technical approach. The
V10 powerplant generates 570 HP, equivalent to 419 kW, which is fully
available at 8000 RPM. The maximum torque is equally impressive, with
the torque curve peaking at 540 Nm at 6500 RPM. The V10’s unique firing
order delivers the striking sound you hear in motor racing.
Like the race car, the Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale offers the
robotized e-gear six-speed transmission controlled by steering wheel
paddles as standard equipment. This electronically controlled system
shifts through its six gears smoothly and much faster than any human
being could. And for maximum acceleration from a standing start, the
transmission can be set to the “Thrust Mode” – a program that allows to
reach the best performance possible executing a racing start with
minimal tire slippage at an initial engine speed of approximately 5000
rpm.
The Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale boasts a maximum dry
weight of 1340 kilograms. It beats the already lean Gallardo LP 560-4 by
70 kilograms, which gives the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale a
stunning power-to-weight ratio of 2.35 kilograms per HP for
breathtaking performance. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.4
seconds and reaches 200 km/h just 10.4 seconds later. Its forward thrust
finally tops out at 320 Km/h.
The exterior appearance of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo
Stradale is perfectly accentuated by a matte black finish on the large
rear spoiler, the engine hood and the front air intakes, which contrasts
with the “Rosso Mars” paint. The forged wheels are painted in
high-gloss black, a color that is also available on the roof as an
option. The rocker panel covers, impressive rear diffuser and outside
mirror housings are made of carbon fiber polished to a high gloss, while
the brake calipers are accented in red for the first time on a
Lamborghini. It’s a perfect match with the exterior color and racing
concept of this new super sports car. And besides the historically
suggestive “Rosso Mars”, the new Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale is also
available upon request in “Grigio Telesto” or “Bianco Monocerus” with
the roof available in gloss black as an option, as mentioned above.
Upon request, an interior layout including elements made of carbon
fiber, such as the handbrake frame, the middle of the center console,
the lower rim of the steering wheel, the decorative frames around the
main and secondary instrument panels, the door handles, and the handle
for opening the glove box (also available upon request), can be ordered.
