In the video Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini says “The new Gallardo LP560-4 is a significantly enhanced version of what was already an extreme car.” “With an even more sharply defined character, the new Gallardo LP560-4 is also innately elegant and sensuous: the expression of an uncompromising lifestyle.”



So why is it called the LP560-4 ? The new car’s name follows Lamborghini tradition and is in a similar format to that of its big brother, the Murcielago LP640. LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore, the position of the engine - longitudinally mid-mounted 560 horsepower, and Lamborghini chose to insert the “-4” as a reminder that the Gallardo is a full-time four-wheel-drive machine.

Presented to the public at the 2008 Geneva auto show for the very first time is the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Somewhere in the gray area between a “face-lift” and an “all-new car,” the LP560-4 replaces the current Gallardo when it goes on sale this spring. (At that time, the Gallardo Superleggera will be discontinued, although the Gallardo Spyder will continue in its current form.)
