The name Squadra Corse is a throwback to the recently founded
department within Lamborghini, which manages all motorsport activities
from GT3 to the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo championships in
Europe, Asia and America.
The new Lamborghini Gallardo Squadra Corse share a number of
similarities to the racing cars from the Blancpain Super Trofeo series -
starting with the 570bhp capable V10 engine and the tall and wide rear
wing for greater aerodynamic load for increased dynamic stability during
tight, high speed driving.
Other components lifted from the race
car will be the robotised e-gear six-speed transmission operated by
steering wheel paddles and the removable engine hood with quick-release
system.
Both the rear wing and the hood are made from carbon
composite material, as are a host of other components on the Squadra
Corse.
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse boasts a
dry weight of 1.3 tonnes thanks to the utilisation of aluminium and
carbon fibre for the construction.
The trim figure gives the
Squadra Corse a power-to-weight ratio of 2.35kg/bhp for breathtaking
performance and propels to 200km/h in just 10.4 seconds before climbing
to 320km/h.
The Lamborghini Gallardo Squadra Corse shows its
commitment to its Italian homeland with a striking green, white and red
decal strip along the flank akin to the colours of the Italian flag. The
Squadra Corse is available in Giallo Midas (yellow), Bianco Monocerus
(white), Grigio Thalasso (grey) and in Rosso Mars (red).
The
large rear wing contrasts in body colour with a matte black finish while
the hood, front air intakes, rear diffuser and 19-inch forged wheels
are painted in high-gloss black. The brakes callipers are available in
red, black or yellow.
The door panels, the racing seats and the
centre console cover are made from carbon fibre, among other areas like
the handbrake frame, the lower rim of the steering wheel and the door
handles. The racing bucket seats can be swapped for more comfortable
seats. The new and most extreme model in the Gallardo family will have
its world premiere at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
