LAMBORGHINI recently unveiled the 2013 Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo racer, a version of the LP570-4 prepared for the Italian company’s Blancpain-sponsored one-make series.
The race Gallardo has undergone significant aerodynamic re-profiling surface geometry and has added some adjustable aerodynamic devices, including a 10-position rear wing. This has led to aerodynamic efficiency improving by 120 per cent over the 2012 model. Remodelled brake ducts allow thermal performance to improve by 50 per cent with better front brake cooling. Higher downforce – by 128 kg in low downforce set-up and 160 kg in high downforce set-up – facilitates better balance and dynamics. The car also features new wheel-arches, a new diffuser and different stickering. Mechanical specifications are not known, but the car is expected to have power delivered to all the four wheels via the same V10, developing 578 PS.
The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo is a racing series wherein drivers compete in identical Gallardo race cars. A six-race series took place in 2012 in Europe and Asia and, according to Stephan Winklemann, Lamborghini President and CEO, the series will make its way to North America and the US in due course.
