Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2: First Look

Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2: First Look
The LP550-2 is built on a Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) system rather than an All-Wheel-Drive (AWD).

Ingolstadt, Germany Rumors have surfaced that Lamborghini are working on a rear-wheel-drive Gallardo named the LP550-2. 

These recent photos have been leaked and I must say supercar and Lamborghini fans alike are going to like what they see.

The LP550-2 is breaking the mold for Lamborghini. As the name may suggest the LP550-2 is built on a Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) system instead of the All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) that you would normally see on one of Lamborghini's supercars.

Sources claim that the  Lamborghini LP550-2 will come with a 5.2-litre normally aspirated V10 engine that has been detuned to make 405kW (550hp) and not 412kW (560hp ) like the LP560-4. A 6-speed manual gearbox comes as standard.

Although the LP550-2 has taken a slight power cut, because the vehicle uses a RWD system over the usual AWD system, it has shed 30kg (66lbs) which helps the LP550-2 reach 0 - 100km/h in a, claimed, 3.9 seconds and a top speed inching somewhere in the vicinity of 320km (200mph).

With the shedding of 30kgs off the vehicles overall weight, it also has a price cut of 10%. Rumor has it that there will be a limited number of 250 units worldwide. This makes the Lamborghini LP550-2 an exclusive item.

We expect to see the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 make its introduction as soon as September’s Frankfurt Motor Show, but nothing has been confirmed.
