Rumors: Lamborghini to Launch RWD Gallardo Spyder LP 550-2 at the LA Show?
[Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante pictured above]
When Lamborghini unveiled the Super Trofeo Stradale at the 64th IAA in Frankfurt, we thought that this limited production version (only 150 pieces) would be the Italian company’s farewell to its smallest supercar before its replacement arrives sometime next year. But if a report from Teamspeed proves accurate, the Italian supercar manufacturer may have one more special edition of the Gallardo up its sleeve. This time, it’s a rear-wheel drive version of the open-top Gallardo Spyder named the LP550-2. In Lamborghini-talk, the LP550-2 moniker stands for a 550HP engine transferring power only to the rear wheels, instead of the normal Spyder’s AWD set-up. And the denomination hints that the new Gallardo will be, effectively, a roadster version of the Valentino Balboni LP 550-2 coupe – minus the company’s former chief tester’s name.
Even though the Gallardo competes with Porsche's 911 when it comes the sheer number of special edition models introduced throughout its lifespan, an oversteer-friendly version that allows you to hear the V10 sound even better than the fixed-top LP 550-2, is more than welcome.

The most successful super sports car in Lamborghini's history captures the imagination with the brutal power of its 560 hp V10 engine, the absolute grip of its permanent all-wheel drive and the razor-sharp precision of its chassis. Every mile in the Lamborghini Gallardo is an intense experience of explosive dynamics and absolute control. Its breathtaking performance is indicated by the 3.6 seconds it takes to reach 60 mph and its top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).
2011 Lamborghini Super Sports Cars Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore"With the 2011 Lamborghini Super Sports Cars Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore, Lamborghini demonstrates once again the extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian nature of our brand. The super sports cars from Lamborghini combine volcanic energy with design that is as unique as it is stylish," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
With its new Bicolore model, Lamborghini is now setting a further design highlight in the ten-cylinder model series. The colored exterior finish matched with the black on the upper area of the body gives the Gallardo a new, more aggressive personality that looks even wider, even more extreme and innately adhered to the road.

The complete range of standard equipment includes the fast e-gear automated transmission controlled by paddles on the steering column. A lifting system enables the front axle to be raised for safer travel onto ramps and over humps in the road, and the engine hood in tempered glass provides a stunning view of the heart of the vehicle: a 5.2 liter, 90° V-10 engine with stratified direct injection.
The 2011 Lamborghini Super Sports Cars Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore completes Lamborghini's ten-cylinder model range, which is enjoying enormous resonance worldwide with its broad spectrum of individual characters. While the Gallardo LP 560-4 is already a highly trained, extreme athlete, the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera takes the notion of thoroughbred high performance even further. Thanks to its extensive experience in carbon-fiber lightweight engineering, Lamborghini succeeded in reducing its weight by a further 70 kilograms. At 2.35 kilograms per hp, the power-to-weight ratio of the Superleggera is the best in its class, with breathtaking performance guaranteed. From a satellite navigation system to a rear-view camera, from a brake system with carbon-ceramic discs to heated power seats, a long list of optional equipment and accessories allows the vehicle to be adapted to the personal requirements of any client.
