In February the company revealed it had taken the cars to the race track at Adria for testing, and the results were promising, and now the Super Trofeo has hit the pavement at Monza, complete with video.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZFCd-XPZp1TnLrEALAcFC0xMv9z9PaVqoqwzUiT8rq5VT1nm0OaN9u5tExSUV37NERyFYFUI9tHMreQHeB9ESGdyfpgU-1rE1NZc1cNYbVfbFHPKZwfImK9EFIz-st4jaSp842bKgm7bP/s1600-h/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_009-1028-950x650.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333284641908609314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZFCd-XPZp1TnLrEALAcFC0xMv9z9PaVqoqwzUiT8rq5VT1nm0OaN9u5tExSUV37NERyFYFUI9tHMreQHeB9ESGdyfpgU-1rE1NZc1cNYbVfbFHPKZwfImK9EFIz-st4jaSp842bKgm7bP/s400/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_009-1028-950x650.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" /></a><br />The Super Trofeo will come with a reworked chassis, significantly reduced weight of only 1300kg, and power output of 570hp (419kW). The race car will also feature Lamborghini’s permanent AWD system and E-Gear six-speed robotized transmission, which means the Blancpain Super Trofeo will also be the world’s only strictly AWD race series. Other features include a reworked double wishbone suspension system, Pirelli slick racing tires, a specialist racing brake system, a full safety roll cage, a fixed rear wing are made from carbon-fiber, and an ultra-light racing seat.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaCmSgoDOy2LK86d390Fc-D3tT5o7jhgoYlo5OVeBUbIlx6ISRQDf9GrrrS5uSL-jvK6i3PfTSAkmH_t4qhc3gB3zTZJGLCe4DmMqjjm1hJ_FMaheJ3hejs1FU-3PL5bN0J0__q_o8W_JQ/s1600-h/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_008-1028-950x650.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333284572466118946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaCmSgoDOy2LK86d390Fc-D3tT5o7jhgoYlo5OVeBUbIlx6ISRQDf9GrrrS5uSL-jvK6i3PfTSAkmH_t4qhc3gB3zTZJGLCe4DmMqjjm1hJ_FMaheJ3hejs1FU-3PL5bN0J0__q_o8W_JQ/s400/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_008-1028-950x650.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" /></a><br />Set to music but also featuring the soundtrack of the Super Trofeo's 570hp V10 engine, the video shows the car mixing it up with Porsches, Gallardos and more. It's not an extensive run-down or a lap-time-centric exercise, but it does show the one-make racer in (admittedly somewhat mild) action. Much more thorough testing has already been carried out at the test day in Adria.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjdfIkpSxz0pophWfieATraZVhXqNS6gwDjV1E4DBRWa4Q7QSSe0YWk_YwgIaCkGkOGKWegPR2_M9UoE9EOFXnRpq1rRX3lKw1L1Ywp1b_J9cmn3YEPqm7h9_i678X3lR3rvMDvE0UTl6w/s1600-h/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_005-1028-950x650.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333284470753425202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjdfIkpSxz0pophWfieATraZVhXqNS6gwDjV1E4DBRWa4Q7QSSe0YWk_YwgIaCkGkOGKWegPR2_M9UoE9EOFXnRpq1rRX3lKw1L1Ywp1b_J9cmn3YEPqm7h9_i678X3lR3rvMDvE0UTl6w/s400/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_005-1028-950x650.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" /></a><br />Over 167mi (270km) of testing laps were logged there, proving the car was well enough sorted to complete more than full race distance. Engineers and drivers were looking forward to doing even more testing, however. “We’ve got lots of data to look at ahead of the May race weekend, and there’s even more to come from the car in terms of performance,” said official test driver Giorgio Sanna. “We’ll be testing at Barcelona next, a very different circuit with very different conditions.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6l3HrOYw0KfzyZFdipwccwgJSwgGFCpxwW5kTOLIHAvC-tpCMZ2I_SoXdWQnps52i8hRchgpoVE0j8sH_4UAT0EuUmveSaj1aDNQXwAS5wVhxrT8P54_7g-t7eqmShW9blEwD5wvTabiu/s1600-h/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_006-1028-950x650.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333284428830395170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6l3HrOYw0KfzyZFdipwccwgJSwgGFCpxwW5kTOLIHAvC-tpCMZ2I_SoXdWQnps52i8hRchgpoVE0j8sH_4UAT0EuUmveSaj1aDNQXwAS5wVhxrT8P54_7g-t7eqmShW9blEwD5wvTabiu/s400/lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_super_trofeo_006-1028-950x650.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" /></a><br />The Super Trofeo car and parts package is offered at €200,000 plus taxes and entry fees through select Lamborghini dealerships.

Florida, US auto-brute maker Mosler understands this all too well, and has gone bananas in curbing the unwarranted scourge of being overweight with its new MT 900 GTR XX. For it’s so brutal that they should have put an extra X in the moniker, such is the vile nature of its performance.<br /><br />A carbon fiber body is always a good place to start when attempting these feats. By this action, plus using a titanium exhaust system, lighter passenger seats, a lighter diffuser, Mosler made disappear into thin air some 150kg off the unladen normal supercar. Translated, that’s about the same weight as what you and your daddy together ring up on a bathroom scale. The new 6-speed sequential gearbox also contributed a ten kilogram/ 22 lb saving on weight.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuNTCZg3Rbtn9ectXkoEgTTpWPmoB_MjNn0Bkg5XdBFh-4HzxOGEnwhw5dMlHl01HEtIxdkAzxAszhqhMvOGwLlFBXM3mXdxs_hoYlrt7pbg3N40-hKFZRzp6kuChQK2_0ZhH8TFzwT9o/s1600-h/9080220.019.Mini2L.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169326770039861522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuNTCZg3Rbtn9ectXkoEgTTpWPmoB_MjNn0Bkg5XdBFh-4HzxOGEnwhw5dMlHl01HEtIxdkAzxAszhqhMvOGwLlFBXM3mXdxs_hoYlrt7pbg3N40-hKFZRzp6kuChQK2_0ZhH8TFzwT9o/s400/9080220.019.Mini2L.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" /></a><br /><div></div>Lightweight with no power is like trying to race feathers. You still need thrust. Where better to look than the 7-litre Corvette V8 motor whose donation of 620 horses and 673Nm in torques will not go unnoticed. Fact is, all this madness adds up to a 0 – 100km/h time of just 3 seconds. We all know what the benchmark in these sort of things achieves, so you can just imagine for yourself. A speed of 200km/h shoots past in 8.7 seconds. This whole car costs €187, 500.<br /><br />Wait. There’s more! In 2009 a lucky few will be able to ark a bi-turbo conversion in their garages. Where that will end is unknown at this moment, suffice to say the novice rich guy trying to impress other cigars from his golf club will most certainly meet up with a tree somewhere along the way.
