2010 Geneva Auto Show Coverage
Feb 26, 2010 - 2:53 PM - by Administrator

While European automakers initially ignored hybrid technology, it seems as though the craze has finally caught on, with everyone from Ferrari to Porsche announcing hybrid models of one kind or another. Ferrari will debut a 599 Hybrid concept, while Porsche will show the GT3 R Hybrid race car and a hybrid version of the 2011 Cayenne.

Porsche's new parent company, Volkswagen, also has plenty of hybrid news. VW will showcase its new Touareg SUV, with a hybrid version. In addition, another VW-brand company, Audi, will show off a hybrid version of its new A8. Other hybrids include the Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid and the Lexus CT200h hybrid.

Other show highlights are sure to include a new high-performance version of the Lamborghini Gallardo, referred to as either the LP57-4 SuperVeloce or the LP570-4 Superleggera, as well as Audi's new RS5. Plus, Mercedes-tuner Carlsson is debuting its new C25, an SL65-based supercar while VW/Audi-tuner ABT Sportsline is showing-off a 600-hp Audi R8 GTR, an R8 Spyder, A8 and a modified Volkswagen Golf R.

Geneva 2010: Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Suerleggera World Premiere
Mar 03, 2010 - 8:29 AM - by Administrator

Lamborghini has just officially unveiled its most powerful and impressive Gallardo to date, taking the Superleggera name to new extremes. Titled the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, it takes after the original Super-G by offering a light-weight package, while adding even more horsepower.

As the name suggests, the LP570 makes 10-hp more than the standard LP560 model from the same direct-injection 5.2-liter V10, but that’s only the start. Thanks to a reduction of 154 lbs, the Superleggera’s dry weight is just 2,954 lbs. (Expect about 100 more lbs when full of fluids). In total 88 of those saved pounds are due to the use of light-weight carbon fiber body components, while a polycarbonate rear window (and side windows) make up some of the rest.

All this weight reduction, when combined with the big V10 and Lambo’s six-speed e-gear system, result in a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.

The car’s exterior has been modified slightly, with dark-painted lower portions to give an even more aggressive look. There’s also a new four-pipe rear exhaust, while the Italian colors have been pinstriped across the lower portion of the car. Other notable items include the 19-inch wheels, as well as options like carbon ceramic brakes and a that big rear spoiler.

2010 Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder Review
Feb 19, 2010 - 3:09 PM - by Administrator

The mere whisper of the name Lamborghini is enough to set the heart on fire. Minds race with thoughts of incredible speed and pavement crushing power. Taming the bull is something every car enthusiast has dreamt about since they were a small child.

But harnessing such a beast almost certainly requires a significant amount of brute force and the iron-clad will of a circuit rodeo rider. Something so unruly couldn't be easy to drive, could it? Surely it must be a daunting task.

Of course it's intimidating! At $221,000 it better be! But it might surprise you to learn, the 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder is as effortless to maneuver as any high-performance sports car in the market. Once on the road, the living is easy.

There is, however, one thing you will need to content with when driving this incredible exotic automobile. Much like its more expensive sibling the Murciélago, crowd control is certain to be an ongoing issue. Loud and meant to be that way, once the engine turns over it's impossible to fly under the radar. Imagine Metallica as the garage band practicing down your street on a Saturday morning and you get the idea.

2010 Geneva Auto Show Preview
Feb 17, 2010 - 2:46 PM - by Administrator

While not the largest, the Geneva Auto Show is easily the most prestigious auto show in the world, attracting debuts of high performance models from some of the world's most exotic and revered brands. 2010 is shaping up to be no different.

Major debuts include a Ferrari hybrid concept based on the 500 GTB flagship, the 2011 BMW M5 and a new high-performance version of the Lamborghini Gallardo, referred to as either the LP57-4 SuperVeloce or the LP570-4 Superleggera.

We're also excited to see what the European tuners have on offer, with Mercedes-tuner Carlsson debuting its new C25, an SL65-based supercar and VW/Audi-tuner ABT Sportsline showing a 600-hp Audi R8 GTR, an R8 Spyder, A8 and a modified Volkswagen Golf R.

And speaking of the R, Volkswagen is set to announce a new R high-performance division at the show, with rumors of a Jetta R concept set for its debut.
