lamborghini gallardo lp560-4

 With the first examples of Ferrari's 430 Scuderia being delivered, the Raging Bull has once again upped the ante with the new Gallardo  LP560-4. Why 560? That number designates the amount of horsepower the car will have in European trim (we get "only" 552 horses and 398 lb-ft of torque in the States
The extra power is courtesy of a new, more efficient, all-aluminum engine with a displacement bump from 5.0 to 5.2-liters -- the first volumetric increase the Gallardo has received since its inception. The 0-to-62-mph run is reduced from a Lamborghini-claimed 4.0 seconds to just 3.7, and top speed is up from 196 to 202. Time from zero to 124 mph also is down from 12.3 seconds to 11.8. That's getting closer to our estimated 3.5-second 0-to-60-mph run for the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, though we've not yet performed a full test. Otherwise, the Lambo outguns the Ferrari by 49 horses and 51 lb-ft of torque, but does give up 100 or so pounds to the Prancing Horse, despite a weight reduction of 44 pounds.
