Frankfurt 2013: Lamborghini Squadra Corse
This is Lambo’s riposte to Ferrari’s Speciale
By Shahzad Sheikh
Not to be outdone by Ferrari’s showcase 458 Speciale, Lamborghini replied with the Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse at Frankfurt.
Based on the Gallardo Super Trofeo race car, this is a limited production model priced at 191,000 Euros.
The name Squadra Corse refers to the recently-founded department within Lamborghini which manages motosport activities.
It weighs 1340kg, 70kg less than the regular Gallardo. It hits 100kph in 3.4 seconds, 200kph in 10.4 seconds and reaches 320kph, thanks to 570bhp from the V10.
All fine and dandy, but the it’s getting a bit long in the tooth isn’t it? I know which I’d have.
