The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder means open-air driving fun in a puristic form. This version of the Gallardo offers maximum open-top driving fun, combined with particularly agile and spontaneous driving behavior, which the V10 engine with 550 hp makes available to its driver.
Technical features of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder can be recognized from the model designation: LP stands for Longitudinale/Posteriore, for the mid-engine engine installed longitudinally in front of the rear axle. 550 denotes the power in horsepower, and the 2 stands for rear-wheel drive. At Lamborghini, the word Spyder means the sporty synthesis of characterful super sports car design, ultimate openness and enjoyment for all the senses.
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder – For sporty, active drivers
The rear-wheel drive Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder is basically intended for sports car drivers who prefer a particularly active and dedicated driving style. The new setup of the chassis is designed in such a way that the rear always remains reliable and stable, while the front axle steers with the utmost precision, limiting body movements to a minimum.
Controlled oversteer is no problem with the V10 engine. Of course only as far as the pilot of the Spyder specifies. Because thanks to the easily calculable driving behavior and the ESP assistance system specially developed for this vehicle, the Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder is one of the particularly safe sports cars in its class.
In order to ensure the character of driving fun and safety, the Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder was modified in Sant'Agata Bolognese and further developed for the new characteristics. In addition to the rear-wheel drive, the vehicle was retuned in all driving dynamics details, including a specific setup of the dampers. The aerodynamics were also adapted to the changed power flow.
Corsa program for full driving dynamics
The rear axle differential has a locking effect of 45 percent and has been adjusted, as has the calibration of the e-gear automated manual transmission. A key point is the coordinated driving dynamics system ESP. While stability is the focus of the standard program, the CORSA program allows a higher degree of freedom and allows you to enjoy the full dynamics of the LP 550-2 particularly intensively. All properties of the chassis are retained, the pleasant ride comfort as well as the directional stability at high speeds.
The heart of the Gallardo, the 5,2-litre ten-cylinder engine, has also been retuned and its characteristics optimized for the rear-wheel drive. In the LP 550-2 Spyder, the compact and lightweight engine delivers 405 kW (550 hp). Thanks to lightweight construction and the extremely low dry weight of just 1.520 kilograms, outstanding driving performance is guaranteed. The LP 100-550 Spyer sprints from zero to 2 km/h in just 4,2 seconds. And the top speed of 319 km/h guarantees it a place among the ultimate super sports cars. The top of the Gallardo Spyder is fully capable of top speed, both open and closed.
