Some sources are claiming that new version of Gallardo is on the way. Here is french text:

Gallardo 550-2
0/100km : 3.9
2 roues motrice
8 couleur
sticker bande blanche et liseré doré
limité a 250ex

Which means that it will be RWD, 8 colors to choose, hopefully weigh reduction, 3.9 seconds from 0-100 km/h, limited production of 250 copies.

I hope that these news are true and 0-100 numbers are typo, because it is some kind of nonsence of building cheaper, slower limited edition.

Here are the links to the sourse, they claim they have this information straight from Lamborghini press database:

Well, it could be some sort of hybrid in order to meet the eco-hippie requirements . . .

 

Surprised less power.
At first when the LP560-4 came out (hinting at -2), I was excited. Then I realized over 60-70% of the power goes to the rear anyway, and with that much power I don't think AWD is a bad idea.
I do like the weight loss idea, though.

 

Interesting that it is down on power, but it's probably for safety reasons. The Germans were looking over their shoulders while designing the car and when they originally spec'ed the Gallardo with 580 hp and RWD, the Germans said "vee don't zink so. you vill lower zee power or else somebody vill be killed."

Damn Germans...They're all a bunch of fun-nazis...

 

Some more information:

Weight reduction by 30kg. Price reduction by 10%. Some special white stickers. All 250 cars only with full option package - ceramic brakes and all other goodies. They claim pics are awaited in hours.

some more informations:



We’re hearing rumours that Lamborghini are working on an LP560 special edition that does away with the 4WD system that fitted to all Lamborghini’s nowadays. The news comes from posters over at lambopower.com where they think that power could also be reduced to 550bhp in the special edition, making it an LP550-2.

The new version would not be a successor to the SuperLeggera, the previous generation retained it’s 4WD system, instead it would be a completely new edition, perhaps based on a legendary Lamborghini figure…

Some of the speculation focus’s on the cars roll as a budget car for the brand. The price hike that came with the LP560, a considerable £30,000 (€35,000), could well be the reason for the new car. Recent news that the companies sales are down as much as 30% add fuel to this fire which is the reason we think that this could be the real deal.

The new car would cost 10% less than the LP560 and establish itself at the bottom of the Lamborghini product range. As much as 30kg could be lost by taking out the 4WD system. This would also mean a rough 0-100kph (62mph) figure of just 3.9 seconds.

The last piece of information we have is that the car could receive white stickering, a choice of 8 different colours and the final production figure may be set at just 250 units.

 

not as exciting as i was hoping. 30kg, probably included weight loss from the CCBs..

mehh...

 

Here you go guys, these are the new pics, I hope you like them. Two wheel drive and 30kg lighter. It will also be 10% cheaper than the 560 in the UK:

 

That's pretty cool. I wonder how different it will actually feel than the current 4wd. I mean driving around town, how different it will feel.

 

That I LIKE!!! That should be more than enough for a TT Setup!!!

I hope once these cars start selling quickly, they will produce more than 250... I hope
