Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante (Italy, 2011)

The Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante is powered by a 5.2 litre V10 engine with a 570 hp power output, available at 8,000 rpm, and torque of 540 Nm (398,3 ft lbs) at 6,500 rpm, which enables the super sports car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and to reach a top speed of 324 km/h.

In terms of design the Gallardo Spyder Performante can be seen as the open-top version of the acclaimed Gallardo Superleggera. Its bodyshell is focused on the pure lines and clean look without any superfluous decoration. It measures 4.39 meters long, 1.90 meters wide and only 1.18 meters of height which also gives it the ability to handle the very highest speeds with open or closed top.

Still the Spyder Performante suffered some exterior modifications in order to increase the aerodynamic effect in comparison to the Gallardo Spyder. Thanks to the work in the wind tunnels the front bumper on the Spyder Performante has been remodeled by designers at the Lamborghini’s Centro Stile. It now has three-dimensional, deeply recessed elements form trapezoidal frames for the large air intakes. A razor-sharp look is given to the front end by the V-shaped, sharply defined nose, the LED daytime running lights and the black elements.

To achieve better aerodynamic results the Gallardo Spyder Performante syffered modifications to the fully-covered underbody and received new sill elements and a redesigned diffuser incorporating four large tailpipes.
