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.


Extremely lightweight carbon fibre and Alcantara, are the dominant materials in the cabin with the later found on the underside of the dashboard, the central panel of the seat cushion and the backrest
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.
