Auto Extreme

Lamborghini previously revealed the updated version of the Gallardo in Geneva. There were rumors that the new model of Lamborghini will be called LP550, but today the company confirmed the new model will be called LP560-4. That’s because it will deliver almost 560 hp and comes with permanent four-wheel drive.

The new model replaces the former Gallardo Coupe, which was first introduced to the market in 2003. The new car’s name,the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, reflects the uprated power of 560 PS, together with reference to the Lamborghini feature of permanent four-wheel drive.

“The new Gallardo LP560-4 is a significantly enhanced version of what was already an extreme car,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini SpA. “With an even more sharply defined character, the new Gallardo LP560-4 is also innately elegant and sensuous : the expression of an uncompromised lifestyle. We look forward to launch our first new product for 2008 at the Geneva show.”

The new model will be shown for the first time to the international Press, on the eve of the Geneva Auto Salon. The new cars presented during the preview “Driving Ideas” organized by the Volkswagen Group will be shown at the Geneva Auto Salon from 4 March.

The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 will be shown on Automobili Lamborghini’s stand, number 1260 in Hall 1.
