Lamborghini is going racing with its own Lambo-only race series. To help kick start some interest, its come up with the track-only Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo based on the Gallardo LP560-4. Lamborghini will make a run of 30 of these cars so that the ultra-rich of the world can settle any issues (like why a flat tax is better or who finished the Grey Poupon) out on the track.
Lamborghini says it will have a factory-backed for the racer series with celebrity guest drivers. Regardless of who runs these cars, its low production numbers and high horsepower will likely make these cars eventually end up in the hands of collectors. The Gallardo Super Trofeo’s 5.2-liter V10 makes 570 horsepower, which is up 18 hp from the LP560-4.
Racecars are traditionally rear-wheel drive. That’s why Audi ditched the all-wheel drive system for back motion only on the R8 GT3. So will the Gallardo Super Trofeo be able to handle on the track? We’ll be the judge of that (Lamborghini please let us be the judge of that.)
