Lamborghini introduced the Gallardo 570-4 Squadra Corse at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and gave enthusiasts a street-legal version of the race cars that ran into the brand's Super Trofeo series competition.

LAMBORGHINI Gallardo

The Gallardo was the best selling Lamborghini in history and, between 2003 and 2012 it was sold in more than 13.000 units. In 2012, toward the end of its career, the Italian car-manufacturer unveiled the “Edizione Technica”.

Lamborghini introduced the second generation of the Gallardo in 2008, and it also continued the one-make racing series with it, so it felt obliged to produce a street version of that race car.

At the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini showed the second generation of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera 570-4. As its name suggests, it is the lightened version of the Lamborghini Gallardo supercar. But there is more about the car than just the 70 kg (154 lbs) weight loss. The Superleggera stole the hearts (and budgets) of those who were looking for a track car able to drive on the road.

As a retirement gift for its chief test-driver Valentino Balboni, Lamborghini built a special edition for the Gallardo. It was the only RWD vehicle in its lineup: the Gallardo 550-2 VB.

While the 2008 world financial crisis started to spread globally, Lamborghini dared to introduce a refreshed version of its two-year-old Gallardo.

Lamborghini Gallardo went through a diet, lost some weight, and became a much more driver-oriented machine with the 2007 Superleggera version.

The Gallardo was on the market for two years already, and the customers already asked for something more, and Lamborghini said yes.

Lamborghini introduced the Gallardo at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show and represented the Italian supercar manufacturer's new entry-level range.
