Lamborghini is showing a new LP560-4 Gallardo at the 2008 Geneva auto show. The Gallardo is the smaller super car of Lamborghini's two current offerings, and the latest LP560-4 has a 5.2-liter V-10 making 560 horsepower — up from the current Gallardo's 520 hp. This peak power gives the LP560-4 its name, while the "4" refers to the LP560-4's four-wheel drive, which splits power 30 percent to the front wheels and 70 percent to the rear. Transmission options include either a six-speed manual or six-speed sequential with paddle shifters.
The LP560-4 shows off front styling akin to the Reventon concept that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt auto show. Similar cues from the Reventon concept include large trapezoidal front air intakes to scoop up air for the engine's cooling demands. Between those large scoops is a front spoiler for improved aerodynamics. In the back there's a new rear diffuser and LED taillights. On the inside, buyers can choose an Alcantara-lined interior or carbon fiber trimmings.
Lamborghini says the LP560-4 can do zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).
