Lamborghini has officially tested the Gallardo Super Trofeo on the Vallelunga Race Track near Rome, and according to the Italian exotic-maker, the car destined to populate the brand's one-make racing series is the fastest one-make car ever to lap that particular track. Lamborghini goes on to stretch the worth of this accomplishment by referring to its Super Trofeo Series as the "fastest single-brand competition". Who knows, it may very well be. Regardless, we'll get to see the first running of these bulls on May 2, 2009 at Silverstone for the inaugural race.
The Gallardo Super Trofeo is based on the LP 560-4 model and powered by that car's 5.2L direct-inject V10 tuned to produced 570 horsepower. All that power is tamed by Lamborghini's e.gear six-speed "robotized" gear box and permanent all-wheel-drive. In addition, the suspension has been track tuned by Lamborghini, the wheels are wrapped in competition Pirellis, the brakes have been upgraded, the rear wing is adjustable and the interior features a lightweight racing seat and steering wheel. It sounds like a gentleman racer's dream.
