Lamborghini Concept S

Lamborghini is going to unveil Lamborghini Concept S concept car at 2005 Geneva Motor Show in March. The car is designed by Luc Donckerwolke who heads the design department at Centro Stile Lamborghini in Sant Agata, Bologna. Donckerwolke was inspired by the single sitter racing cars from the past.



The classic car has many spectacular features. The windscreen is quite different then a traditional car. They have made use of "saute-vent" a french term which means "a sudden change in the wind". The air with this design is directed over the driver's head. The engine is positioned behind the seats and the cabin is divided into 2 compartments. With electronically controlled, retractable central rear view mirror, the driver could have a view of happenings behind the car.

The aerodynamics for the car is also futuristic which is optimised by front and rear spoilers and a large rear diffuser.

Lamborghini
Gallardo LP560-4

With the new Gallardo LP560-4, Lamborghini once again sets a higher standard for super sports cars. With its new engine, permanent four-wheel drive transmission and new suspension, it delivers clearly improved performance and dynamics. In parallel, its innovative design takes the classic lines unique to the Lamborghini brand one step further. Powerful elegance has never been so defined before.

The Gallardo LP560-4 is the successor of the most successful Lamborghini model of all time. Approximately 7100 Gallardo models have left the Sant'Agata Bolognese production plant since its launch in 2003. 'The LP560-4 will consolidate this success story,' states Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. 'It will outclass its predecessor in every aspect; its dynamics are distinctly breathtaking and its design sets new standards. With the introduction of the Gallardo LP560-4, we will consistently continue Lamborghini's growth strategy'.

The powerful heart of the Gallardo LP560-4 is the new 5.2 litre V10 engine with an output of 560 PS (412 kW) at 8000 rpm. The increase of 40 PS compared with that of the previous Gallardo, and the approximate 20 kilogram reduction in weight, improves the power weight ratio to 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and thus enhances performance. The LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, its speed at 11.8 seconds is 200 km/h and its top speed lies at 325 km/h. At the same time the new, highly efficient engine enthrals its driver with its direct fuel injection system - 'Iniezione Diretta Stratificata'. Despite its clearly increased power, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by a staggering 18 per cent.

Koenigsegg Edition

On the 4th March 2008, we will be unveiling our latest creation: the Koenigsegg Edition. The Edition will be on show at the Geneva International Motor Show between the 4th and the 16th March 2008.

When run on E85 fuel the 4.8 litre engine produces 1018 bhp.

Furthermore there are many unique details on the car. The new forged, machined and polished aluminium Edition wheels for example, which are extremely light and incorporate optimum brake cooling. The bright, polished surface of the wheels was chosen to maximize the contrast against the exclusive black clear carbon body.

The Edition has a high performance specially developed rear wing, a larger front splitter plus side front strakes. The aerodynamics have been verified and optimized in CFD and in real life on the Koenigsegg test track in Sweden and on various proving grounds in Europe, in order to achieve maximum downforce. Together with the lower ride height, modified shock absorbers, modified springs and anti roll bars, this makes the car perfectly suited for both serious track fun and winding country roads.
