2009 Lamborghini LP560-4 pricing info
Lamborghini’s stunning new LP560-4 supercar is set to go on sale in the U.S. by the middle of the year with prices starting at $201,000, not including shipping and the federal gas-guzzler tax. This is just under $20,000 more than the standard Gallardo model, which the new LP560-4 replaces, but somehow we feel Lamborghini will have no trouble at all selling every one of them. The price hike is not without reason as the new 2009 LP560-4 features a number of significant upgrades over the Gallardo, both...

First drive: Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
To a large extent Lamborghini exists today because of the Gallardo. While the Murcielago has always remained the top model in the company’s line-up, it was strong sales of the Gallardo that allowed it to reach profitability after almost 30 years of losses. At its initial launch back in 2003 there was the worry that this new ‘entry-level’ Lamborghini would dilute the brand’s exclusive cachet. As the first model completely designed under the watchful and sensible eye of Audi, there was also some...

Lamborghini ends Gallardo Superleggera production
With the introduction of the new LP560-4 Gallardo at the recent Geneva Motor Show Lamborghini has officially ended production of its Superleggera model. The lightweight Gallardo was only introduced one year prior but it was always meant to be a limited edition model and room was needed at the Sant’ Agata plant for Lambo’s latest model. The Superleggera, Italian for “lightweight”, was a stripped-out race car built for the roads. The car weighed 70kg 154.4 pounds less than the standard...

Lamborghini Ferruccio: The supercar that never was
Lamborghini shocked the automotive world last year when it unveiled the limited edition Reventon but the imposing supercar’s debut could have easily been overshadowed by an even more outrageous Murcielago-based model being prepped by an Italian coachbuilder. Designers from Magvisio were planning to launch a new rebodied Murcielago LP640 in a limited production run of just ten units but the project has since been shelved due to a lack of interest. Their car was the Lamborghini Ferruccio, a...

Lamborghini lends its name to Bluetooth headset
There’s usually nothing worth mentioning about a Bluetooth headset but here’s one that will get the attention of most performance enthusiasts. The device is the ‘Tonino Lamborghini Bello’ and apart from Lamborghini’s shield emblem on the outer casing there’s not much that the headset has in common with the Italian supercar brand. The headset is sold under the Tonino Lamborghini, a brand of exclusive watches and leather goods, and it was apparently designed with some input by Ferruccio...

Lamborghini looks past the U.S and Europe
Lamborghini is spreading its wings and plans to focus on markets other than its two main sources of customers, Europe and North America. The supercar brand set records for sales in 2007 and doubled profit levels from the year before but if it hopes to continue this success it will need to look past its two traditional cash-cows. The U.S. and Europe currently accounts for about 80% of sales but Lamborghini would prefer this to be close to 66%. Speaking with AutoTelegraaf recently, Lamborghini CEO Stephan...

Update: Lamborghini LP560-4 priced to boost sales
Update: Lamborghini set records for sales in 2007, more than doubling its profit from the year before - itself a banner year. The record mark was set largely on sales of the popular Gallardo. With the new, lighter and more powerful Gallardo LP560-4 on the horizon, Lamborghini expects to push sales up another four percent to 2,500 units worldwide in 2008. The new Gallardo is priced at $198,000 - a bargain in supercar terms - and should be the driving force in the increased sales when it becomes available...
