Rent a prestigious car:Lamborghini LP560 Spider
The Gallardo coupe received its midlife rebirth as the LP 560-4 in 2008, so it makes sense that the Spyder convertible follow that path. That means more power, sportier handling, reduced mechanical friction in the powertrain, even more aggressive design touches, and an upgraded interior and electronics. The number in the model name isn't random, the Gallardo's original 5.0-liter V-10 now increased to 5.2 liters and punching out 560 metric horsepower (it's actually 412 kilowatts, which translates to 552 SAE net American-style ponies). Besides the displacement increase, other power adders include the switch to direct fuel injection and an updated engine-management system, which combine to improve mileage, reduce emissions, and sharpen throttle response.
Automobili Lamborghini, creator of the world’s most exclusive super sport cars, today held the worldwide debut of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560—4 Spyder at the Los Angeles Auto Show. As the successor to the best-selling Lamborghini of all time, the new LP 560-4 Spyder combines the Coupé’s design, performance and handling characteristics with the open-air pleasure only a soft top super sports car can deliver.
“The LP 560-4 is the best example of the Gallardo to date and will be a great contribution to Lamborghini’s future success,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The entirely new LP 560-4 Spyder adds another dimension to the Gallardo’s lineage with extreme design language and class-leading performance.”
An excelent car rental
The much anticipated Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder offers a new 5.2 liter engine with 40 additional horsepower than its predecessor; allowing it to sprint from 0-62 mph in only four seconds with a top speed of 201 mph. The car’s agility has also been greatly refined with a new, lighter transmission, which allows increased shift times by 40 percent (Corsa Mode), combined with an all-new chassis, suspension and Lamborghini’s permanent all-wheel drive system. Despite increased performance, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by 18 percent.
