Gallardo LP 560-4
LP560-4 at home Lamborghini means: Longitudinal Rear, 560 hp, 4 wheel drive permanent. And that's not all: Engine 10-cylinder 5200 cc on a car of 1410 kg and a maximum torque of 540 Nm at well 6500 rpm. that leads to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds, 200 km / h in 11.8 seconds to a maximum speed of 325 km / h.
Numbers that enhance, but rather bring 'apprehension if you must sit at the wheel. If you add to this the reverence that a brand like Lamborghini and brings with it the charm that the clean lines of this car knows you can send out as the first approach is relatively cautious ... The driver's seat, accessible without excessive Behavior, is and a convenient location not too lying. The controls are intuitive enough and put everything at ease, starting with the dashboard mixed analog / digital providing all essential information on locating other more peripheral. Started the engine in the carrier arrives only a slight hum, the sound of ten cylinders is smirking and friendly, so it melts the tension further.

Road
To start with. Brake, shift lever at the wheel to enter the first and we move for the first meters. The feeling is to drive a luxury coaches, because interiors and coatings are of the highest level and can drive as if we were on tour. With just a few minutes to really become more familiar with this jewel of technology, where electronic acts in a manner so fundamental as discrete and so it begins to breathe a little 'more marches. The engine drives by decision early so that you can safely leave the tight bends in the second to just under 2,000 rpm. With any gear when you press the accelerator the hand of counter splashes up and we found crushed against the back, above 4000 rpm the sound of the engine is transformed into a rumble exciting and must incorporate the gear before intervene speed limiter (which sometimes occurs in a rather sudden). It seems that you have two cars up to 4000 turns a fascinating saloon, above the 4000 sports a super race. But there is no need to bring the engine to run high, in fact, having tested the car on roads open to traffic we were able to appreciate especially the couple el'elasticità. It 'clear that the effort of the technicians Lamborghini was not aimed at achieving "only" an extreme performance car, but a super luxury sports relatively easy to drive. This is especially electronics that comes to the aid. There are three different set up to the driver-selectable: normal, sport and race. A change is the reaction time and, in setting the 'race', the ways and means that the ESP, if you wish, can be totally excluded. In short, if anyone is given the possibility of divertisi (and a lot!) According to their ability to pilot and the type of route you're facing.
Our brief reality check has led us from Azzano San Paolo, home of the dealer until Endine lake, through a landscape already snow-covered road and across a curve that has exalted the dynamic qualities of the car. Compared with cars "normal" Everything happens much more quickly, but until we really entrust to electronics is unlikely to be in trouble. All the new Gallardo is designed to make the engine exploitable, that only the absolute superlatives can try to tell. Reactions to the steering is quick but not always sharp, but we must do some 'over habit to brake, the first centimeters of the pedal stroke seems to have no effect, so goes by decision and stop abruptly ends with a few meters before expected ... but it is only a matter of us "on foot". The wheel drive permanently secure stability and an unmatched almost neutral cornering, so that is the absence of reaction "abnormal" that almost disoriented, even in violent acceleration in output curve (although this should be verified on the track) l 'Car breaks and you do not follow the directions of the pilot without hesitation whatsoever.
After the route is painful to return the keys and return to the world of common mortals, but surprises are not finished!

In the window of the dealer has a car covered with a cloth, will be presented at the Bologna Motor Show is the new "discovery" of home Lamborghini insist ... (it does not have to tell the truth!) With Michael Brusa that in the end "sells" and discovers the car. What can we say? Enjoy you preview with our photos and let us know what you think!
