thanks for the link
love the looks and sure it will sound great but "featherlight"
i doubt ..1330kg is completely dry weight not curb weight so with fluids will be good but not lighter than a 430 or gt3 let alone a 430LP
would have been perfect with RWD
The Ferrari 430 averages at around 1500 kg in tests (most often about 1500 to 1520 kg), so the Superleggera is definitely lighter than the 430 and will probably remain as light as the Light Pista (what a strange name).
Sorry to disagree. In the last issue of auto motor and sport the stated a weight of 1497kg for the Superleggera. So this is pretty much the same as the STANDARD F430, which averages at around 1500kg as you correctly stated. So the SL is definitely not lighter than the F430, but the LP will.
it has 179kg of fluids??????i doubt...
No, it surely hasn't, but the official weight claims are a lie.
i dont think they can be that stupid... thats a very easy to verify lie..
The Italiens don't care (did they ever do?
so i understand f430 numbers are fake?
In fact I think Ferrari numbers are getting better, what means nearer to reality. When you think back of F355 or Challenge Stradale for example, no car really reached the quite low factory numbers. The 430 is now said to have 1525kg (I think that's including the driver), so the test numbers of 1500kg (is that with or without driver?) is not that far away.
But the Gallardo was always different: much smaller than the F430, said to weigh even less than the Ferrari, but reaching up to 1600kg in several test magazines...
Maybe fat guys driving it

Do they fit into the buckets?
(nice cascade we already got there again BTW
)
Re: Autocar first drive: Gallardo Superleggera
Ferrari and Lamborghini need to get on a fat diet and stop lying. GM is doing the opposite with the Z06. In the real world they weigh less than advertised and have another 20-30 more hp tha advertised.
I'm not liking those wheels too much myself.

I love all the discrepancies between a few kilos here and a few kilos there
then a big fat guy gets in and the car hunkers down with a sigh of contempt
I'm sure we are all in tip top shape though
I know I'm not - that's why my car needs to be extra-light. Easier than going on a diet myself
