The Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante sets a new benchmark in the open-top super sportscars.
The engineers managed to reduce the weight of the car by 65 kg (143 lb), resulting in a dry weight of 1.485 kg (3.274 lb). As with its brother Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, the weight loss comes from large exterior and interior components made of carbon-fiber. Exterior modifications are aimed to increase the aerodynamic effect in comparison with the Gallado Spyder. The front bumper was remodeled along with the underbody paneling, seals and the rear diffuser by wind tunnel experts and Lamborgini designers. The interior features includes Alcantara upholstery, hand-stitched steering wheel, carbon fiber trimmings, multimedia navigation system, lifting system for the nose of the car, garage door opener and a rear-view camera. The V10 engine from under the hood is standard bolted to an e-gear transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters, that can shift gears extremely smooth and far more quicker than a a human. Power is transmitted to all wheels as standard with a ratio of 30:70 to the front and rear axles.
