Lightbulb Rumormill: Gallardo LP590-2 SV coming to Geneva???

I have just heard today absolutely crazy rumors, in absolutely opposite direction to what Lamborghini RnD chief Maurizio Reggiani told CAR magazine that halo versions of both models will be AWD only. But some sources started to spread information that Lamborghini switched the final special version of Gallardo to RWD not to compete and not even to compare this car with LP670-4 SV.

Rumored specs of the car from what I have heard are - further weight decrease, about minus 150 kg recduction from Balboni G. About 590 hp engine, faster e-gear, improved CC brake system. Speaking about style changes - very agressive aerodynamic package, big rear wing.Interior will be stripped down as well, but do not expect any radical changes, only extensive use of CF.

Rumors suggest that car will be called exactly SV, because SL G was not so successful and criticized by many.

Car is rumored to be presented during Geneva auto show next March.

I do not rank these rumors as trustworthy, but I still thought I must share it with my TS friends.

less weight, + 40hp and cf, bigger brakes + aerokit and RWD = killer combo..thanks for sharing!

Awesome. Thanks for that info D55L. I really hope you are right about this. This car would blow the 430 Scuderia to pieces and possibly even the 458 Italia

Whoa! Sounds incredible. Hopefully, it comes with the small wing option a la the 670-SV. Nice work D55L.

If this turns out to be true, and they pull it off, it will be spectacular!
