Top Gear USA gets introduced to the Raging Bull from Sant’Agata
September 2nd, 2010 | Author: topspeed.com
Top Gear USA has a long way to go to even be mentioned in the same breath as their counterparts from the UK, but as this new trailer of the show suggests, they’re off to a pretty good start.
Unlike the last trailer we saw of Adam Ferrara driving a ’76 Cadillac Deville through a “moonshine” run dirt course, this new trailer features the type of cars that we’re getting all excited about: three Lamborghinis!
Not only are they three Lambos, but their three special edition models, too. There’s the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, the Gallardo Valentino Balboni Edition, and the Murcielago SuperVeloce. That’s a lot of snorting bulls in a two-minute trailer.
More importantly though is that the three hosts – Ferrara, Tanner Foust, and Rutledge Wood – seem to be in their element behind the wheel of these Lamborghinis. Whereas they didn’t show a whole lot of testosterone in the last trailer, this one’s got them in fair amount of supply.
Like we said, they still have a long way to go before they can stack up against the iconic trio of Clarkson, May, and Hammond. But if they can have more supercars in their show and a little less giggling and high-fiving, then they should be in good shape.

Video: Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera vs. F430 Spider twin turbo
August 20th, 2010 | Author: topspeed.com
UnderGround Racing has put together two of the most powerful supercars for a little one on one racing action. The participants are a standard Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera and an Underground Racing creation: a twin turbo Ferrari F430 Spider.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera weighs in at around 154 pounds less than the Gallardo LP 560-4. The 5.2 liter V10 engine delivers an incredible 570 hp. The result is a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, from 0 to 124 mph in only 10.2 seconds later, and a top speed that goes up to 202 mph. That’s more than impressive, right?
But wait! Its opponent, the Ferrari F430 is even more impressive. With the addition of a turbo system with modified engine it delivers an impressive 750 HP on standard fuel and 1000 HP on race fuel. So, who do you think will win the competition?

New spy shots of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Spyder
August 11th, 2010 | Author: topspeed.com
Back in June a mystery Gallardo Spyder prototype was caught testing at Nurburgring. Now the car is testing again, only this time we know what it is. Check out the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Spyder.
The prototype caught testing features the same wheels, diffuser, and rear bumper as the Superleggera model, but has a smaller rear wing. Its coupe brother is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 engine that delivers an incredible 570 hp. The result is a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and from 0 to 124 mph in about 10.2 seconds later. Top speed goes up to 202 mph. Expect the roadster version to deliver the same performance, with most likely a lower top speed due to the aerodynamics of the fabric top.
The Superleggera is all about losing weight, so expect the roadster version to also focus on that same idea, but with a little extra for the addition of the top’s weight. However, total weight will be kept in the 3000 lbs area.

Video: Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche 911 GT3 do battle in the streets of Sweden
July 30th, 2010 | Author: topspeed.com
In a scene straight out of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Porsche 911 GT3 partake in a friendly race along the streets of downtown Sweden. The two-part video features the two supercars taking turns revving it up and blasting along the dark and desolate street.
But what makes this video a lot more interesting happens at the start of the second video where, in true law enforcing fashion, a police car shows up and starts chasing to the Lambo and Porsche. Unfortunately for the officers giving chase in God-knows-what vehicle, reality – or in this case, a massive dose of horsepower advantage – starts to kick in and the overwhelmed cop car gets lost in the two supercar’s collective dust.
We don’t know if the cop car thought that he could actually catch up with a Porsche or a Lamborghini, but hey, we certainly applaud the officers for the effort. It was just a losing battle from the get-go.
Hit the jump for the second video.

Topless Lamborghini Gallardo Valentino Balboni Edition caught testing
July 14th, 2010 | Author: topspeed.com
Looks like Mr. Balboni’s special-edition Gallardo is going to have an offspring of its own.
After already presenting its long-time test driver, Valentino Balboni, with his own special-edition Gallardo, reports are suggesting that the Sant’Agata-based automaker is already at work preparing a spyder version of the Lamborghini supercar with this recent spy video, courtesy of our friends over at Auto Motor und Sport, of the Gallardo romping it up at the Nurburgring. This little tasty offering serves as proof that this car is more than just a figment of our collective imaginations.
Lamborghini has not made any official announcements on the car so nothing is official yet on the spyder version of Valentino Balboni’s Gallardo LP550-2, although from what we’ve heard, it looks like the car could – at the very least – be headed to an auto show at the latter part of the year with a distinct possibility that it could end up being at the Paris Motor Show in October.
Until then, we’ll keep you posted on any updates surrounding this new special-edition raging bull.

Ferrari 458 vs. Lamborghini LP570-4
July 6th, 2010 | Author: topspeed.com
The automotive industry has seen a massive shift this year. Two legendary supercar manufacturers have created two new amazing products that could change the way we think about the ultra-performance, super-expensive sports car and we will take them head to head in the ultimate competition.
In the left corner is the old workhorse, the Lamborghini Gallardo, but this isn’t the normal run of the mill version. This new model is the LP 570-4 Superleggera, a sort of midlife refresh for the venerable old performance car. Meanwhile, in the right corner, we have the new supercar from the legends of fast car manufacturing, the Ferrari 458 Italia. Unlike the Lamborghini, the Ferrari is all new, taking the place of the old 430.
One is an old veteran with a new outfit and some more power under the hood, while the other is an all-new machine from the Italian legends. This should be one great fight between two companies that have been competing for years and years.
