Lambo Rambo - The Superleggera

Saw this new metallic toy in one of my latest magazines. They nickname it the "Lambo Light." What's it remind you of? If you guessed a Gallardo with some new rims and a wing slapped on it, you're pretty close.

The Gallardo has been the Lamborghini of choice by many music artists and athletes alike. I myself have mistaken the Gallardo to be Lambo's top of the line car, but to anyone's surprise it's not; the Murcielago is.

So what's different about this smokin gray metallic Gallardo, aside from it looking like it's about to fly? First off, Superleggara translated from Italian to English means "superlight." It comes in at about 185 pounds lighter, thanks to carbon fiber replacements of some parts. It also gets a 10hp boost bringing it to 530 ponies. So how much faster do these modifications make it? It shaves .2 seconds off it's 0-60mph time. That may seem like a little, but I'm guessing the quarter-mile tests later on in the year will reveal more about the car. After all, it's costing 27 grand more than the original Gallardo!

Ya want one? Well, like all good things in life, you must wait because the original 350 of this year's supply has been nabbed by the millionaires who got wind of it first.

Things to note:
Price: $215,000
5.0-liter, 530-hp V-10 engine producing 376-lb.ft. of torque
60 MPH in 3.8 seconds, Top speed of 195mph.
