Lamborghini LP560 2WD?

**tdu66** · 29/06/09, 12:52 PM

This is probably the new LP550-2,
With only 2wd, also it (only) has 550Bhp.
It's also 30 KG lighter then the Lp560.
0-60 in 3,9 sec.
it's a limited series of 250 cars and they all get the white striping.
Customers can choose between 8 different colours.
Nothing is official, but the rumors are floating around

Looks good!

what bothers me is why would they knock 10BHP off it just to make it 2WD, surely they would save a touch of money by keeping the 560 engine instead of engineering a new one with 10bhp less?

Maybe they're testing the market for RWD Lambo?

you missed the whole point about the smaller engine power when it would have been cheaper to keep the 560 engine >.>

It's meant as a cheaper Lamborghini

Anyone will be able to remap the ECU to give at least 560bhp.

How long until we start getting the crazy twin-turbo versions of these?

I also don't understand where the 10bhp went. Doesn't make sense... And only 30kg from losing the 4WD system? Strange considering they lost 100kg on the Superleggera.

One explanation is that they took out the 4WD but left all the luxuries in place, but that doesn't make sense either, because that makes this neither a more hardcore nor faster iteration of the Gallardo. Around a track, I bet the extra traction of the LP560-4 would probably give it an advantage over this

I honestly don't get where Lambo are heading with all these new modifications with many numbers in their names. I mean all the exclusivity and awesomeness is lost that way imo. Just remember what the Reventon did, amazed everybody, wheter it was ugly or wasn't. Since then Lambo got like 5-6 models out, all of them based on Murcie or Gallardo. Imo, the only good Lambos that came out since 2008 are the LP560-4 and LP670-4. And Lambo really should think of making a new model, brand new one not based on their older models.
