Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder New York

The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera aptly plays the demonic role in the Gallardo line, not with outright performance, but with its aura. That's right, the Superleggera emits some sort of electronic/magnetic interference that prevented our test equipment from functioning within four feet of the car.

Superleggera: 1:32.47 sec
Spyder: 1:34.32 sec

As in the Spyder, the Superleggera is equipped with a 5.0-liter V-10 but retuned for better intake and exhaust airflow. The result is 10 more horsepower with the engine rated at 522 bhp and 376 lb.-ft. of torque. Thanks to several weight-saving materials, the Gallardo "light" is about 500 lb. lighter than its Spyder twin (240 lb. lighter than the standard coupe). The engine cover is made of carbon fiber and polycarbonate. The rear-quarter windows are all polycarbonate. And the underbody covering, the door panels, the rearview mirror housings, the rear diffuser, the central tunnel covering and the seat shells are all made with carbon fiber.

With virtually the same V-10 engine mated to the same 6-speed paddle-shift, electrohydraulic transmission driving all four wheels, it is amazing what a 500-lb.-lighter Gallardo will accomplish on the test track. From a standing start in full launch mode, the Superleggera reaches 60 mph in 3.4 sec., tripping the quarter-mile clock at 11.7 sec. with the speedometer sweeping past 121.3 mph. That's 0.4 sec. quicker to 60 mph and in the quarter mile than the Spyder. Even though the Superleggera is equipped with stickier Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, it showed only a slight improvement in its slalom speed — 71.3 mph versus the Spyder's 70.6 mph. And on the skidpad, the Spyder actually beats the Superleggera by 0.01g with 0.99g.
