Lamborghini is showing off its new range-topping Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. As the name suggests, the latest and greatest Gallardo variant is based on the race car used in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, the automaker's exclusive annual racing series.
So what are the differences between the race-spec Gallardo and the upcoming road-going version? Not much, according to the Italian supercar maker. The Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale will be powered by the familiar and potent mid-mounted, 5.2-liter, V-10 engine rated at 562 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed to all four wheels via Lambo's e-gear, six-speed automatic transmission with programmable Thrust Mode -- Lamborghini's launch control system that revs the engine to 5000 rpm for optimal starts. Lamborghini estimates the Super Trofeo will only need 3.4 seconds to scoot from 0-62 mph, while top speed is limited to 199 mph.
Available options cater to both race- and luxury-minded customers and include carbon-fiber ceramic brake discs, a roll cage, four-point safety belts, a fire extinguisher, satellite navigation, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Lamborghini is only building 150 copies of the Super Trofeo Stradale. And judging by past special-edition Gallardos such as the Bicolore, we expect this race-inspired Lamborghini to sell out fast.
