    Kreso,
    How difficult will they make getting the car with a 6speed manual transmission?



    6speed is standard on LP560/4, new e-gear(very, very fast) is an option. Around 90% if all Lp560/4 will be e-gear.
    Either manual or e-gear this IS the sportscar of 2008.



    Any official pricing yet, Kreso?



    Around 6% more then current normal Gallardo. I will have official price list in Geneva. According to all improvements it is really marginal price jump...

    300km/h... In around 34s... Not to bad, isn't it?



    So it's almost as fast as a GT2 to 300 km/h, with AWD and full creature comfort. Very nice!

    Hi Kreso,

    Thanks again for the info.

    Do you know what the actual CO2 emission levels are?

    Cheers,

    -new high reving 5.2L FSI with much lower CO2 emission then any current Ferrari engine. In fact LP560/4 is politically correct supercar!



    Hang on, hang on. Basically the same engine with only 435hp in the S6 already produces 319 g CO2 per km. And you want to tell us that a car with this engine but with a higher power output will be THE green sportscar? I can understand your enthusiasm about that car, but we should all stay realistic.

    Ok. Is 350-360g/km OK with you?
    Compare this with CO2 emission of Scuderia...

    Are you sure about it since normal F430 CO2 emission is 420g/km according to this http://www.ferrari-germany.de/common_files/ferrariimporter/pdf/de/f430.pdf

    No problem I saw that 360g/km data in Scuderia brochure.

    BUT, this is for(very low) Scudria weight. LP560/4 is much heavier car...

    AFAIK the scud has lower consumption according to the factory than the F430, hence lower emissions.

    Which is no good for a sportscar at all.

    In fact it's even the wrong direction, cars should become lighter, much lighter.

    Re: Lamborghini Gallardo LP550(?) in Geneva

    So basically it's an R8 with 560bhp and looks and sound of a proper Lambo?

    Like I mentioned earlier considering the R8 had such good reviews and seems so quick around a track I think the LP560 could be exceptional.

    My only concern is the e-gear. I've never driven the current one but it didn't get great write-ups. Is it feasible that the new e-gear could be as good as the Scuderia F1? Do they use the same basic technology or are they completely different?

    Apart from that I think I'm sold...

    Re: Lamborghini Gallardo LP550(?) in Geneva

    That's the Euro 250,000 question... You mentioned e-gear was now as fast as the Scud's F1. It's irrelevant IMHO. Real question is, is it at last real-world usable (e.g. reversing on a slope)?

    Re: Lamborghini Gallardo LP550(?) in Geneva

    OMG, I really love this! I am seriously contemplating one eventhough it would be completely irresponsible for me to do so! But I have bad back right now so probably impossible to get in. I am going to go sit on a current Gallardo and see how I go.

    Kreso, all those good points you brough up on the LP560/4 is only made possible with Audi ownership. Which is a great think. As for "the latest suspension technology", what are you refering to there? Magnetic ride?

    But seriously, this car actually takes components from the R8, so you should be honored to have the source car .

    Thanks again Kreso.
    3 more questions :
    *Gallardo will adopt also Magnetic Ride from R8?
    *How much bigger are new Ceramic Brakes? same size of scuderia?
    *New lighter AWD system?

    Stefan, what is your comment since power is 560hp and car is as fast as 997 GT2? Also, Lambo claims more then 12s faster on the Ring then current Gallardo SL...



    The new Gallardo seems to be a great car from what you posted here

    Although, the GT2 seems to defend its leading position in the performance class, right?

    - NBR 12s faster than Gallardo SL means 7:34 (vs. 7:33 for GT2)
    - 0-300 34s (vs. 33s for GT2)

    Having said that I have to agree that the new Gallardo should be on par with the Scuderia at least. Great achievement

    Just like the LP640 is rocking 640hp, the LP550 will have an engine developing 550hp.
