New Delhi:
Lamborghini India accentuated its India focus by hosting a
Track Day at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) in Greater Noida, by
allowing speed aficionados to test drive the globally acclaimed Lamborghini
Gallardo on the track.
The year marks the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini – a year
of celebratory events and activities that will take place around the world. The
launch of the new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster marked the start of the brand's
celebrations in India. Continuing with the 50 year festivities, the House of
the Raging Bull today offered to the Indian auto enthusiasts a unique driving
experience to test drive the Lamborghini Gallardo 550 and 560 models.
Speaking on the occasion, Pavan Shetty, Head of Operations,
Lamborghini India said, “It is important to create awareness of the thrills of
owning super cars. The Track Day event is an outreach platform that has been
designed to provide auto enthusiasts in India an uncompromising driving
experience thus helping them to connect with the brand. Such an initiative
gives the brand’s aficionados a firsthand experience of Lamborghini’s supercars
that embody pure power in the form of precision, performance, design, superior
technology and elegance – qualities that have shaped this legendry brand.
The high-octane event also saw the company add two more
Gallardo models for the Indian market; the new Gallardo LP 560-4 and the LP
570-4 Edizione Tecnica that adorn a new design that is even more aggressive,
and more extreme.
The new Gallardo LP 560-4
The unique design with its razor-sharp lines is one of the
key factors in its great success worldwide. Nearly 13,000 units have already
left the Sant’Agata Bolognese workshop.
The Gallardo design has now been further accentuated in the
new Gallardo LP 560-4. The new front end is characterized by triangular and
trapezoidal forms – two shapes that are highly typical of the Lamborghini
design language. Divided by diagonal elements in body color and in black, the
overall look of the front end is broader and more forceful, giving it an even
stronger bond with the road.
To complete the new look
larger air intakes have been created ahead of the front wheels and the
new 19-inch “Apollo polished” alloy
wheels, painted in matt black and
featuring precision-machined spokes in polished silver.
Also new is the even more dynamic rear end design on the
Gallardo LP 560-4. The triangle and trapezoid are, of course, the
characteristic design elements here, too. The air outlet for the power unit now
has now a wider surface area, which improves its thermodynamic efficiency. A new
Style Package is available as an option and offers high-gloss black paintwork
on the underside of the front spoiler, front and rear grilles and the
transverse element of the rear trim to give the Gallardo LP 560-4 an even more
powerful look.
The new Gallardo LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica
With a more determined lightweight design, a focus on high
performance and a purist look, the LP 570-4 Superleggera and the LP 570-4
Spyder Performante mark the very pinnacle of the Gallardo family. As Edizione
Tecnica, they benefit from a further improved equipment level and an even more
individual look. Features of the Edizione Tecnica include the fixed high rear
wing, as well as brakes in carbon-ceramic technology. They combine low weight
with outstanding fade resistance and durability. The power to weight ratio down
to an outstanding 2,35 allows the car to be taken as one of the best references
in the segment.
The Edizione Tecnica underscore sits very special look with
three new exclusive optional color combinations, whereby the entire roof arch
and front air intakes are painted in a contrast color.
The available shades are: Nero Nemesis (matt black) body
with Arancio Argos (orange) pillars and front air intakes, Bianco Canopus (matt
white) body with Arancio Argos pillars and front air intakes, and Arancio Argos
body with Nero Nemesis pillars and front air intakes.
In addition to this, all the new Gallardo models can be
customized to a virtually limitless degree with the exclusive and well known:
“Ad Personam” Lamborghini program.
The new LP 560-4 and the Edizione Tecnica for the LP 570-4
Superleggera and Spyder Performante, underline – even in terms of design – the
differences in mechanical and driving experience among the four-wheel drive
versions of the Gallardo range.
In fact, beside the Gallardo four-wheel drive, the two-wheel
drive Gallardo LP 550-2 in Coupe and Spyder format are still available. With
its purist rear-wheel drive, it appeals to drivers that prefer a highly active
and engaged driving style. The Gallardo LP 550-2 offers the unique design and
performance of a Lamborghini in a simple and uncomplicated form.
The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 is priced at Rs. 2.61
crores (ex-showroom Delhi) while the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica is
priced at Rs 2.92 crores (ex-showroom Delhi). The new Gallardo models are all
currently available at the Lamborghini dealerships.
Lamborghini officially entered India in 2006. Since
then, India has shown a steady acceptance of the super car culture. Currently,
Lamborghini India maintains a good growth momentum with a 21 per cent increase
in sales in the year 2012. Worldwide deliveries of Lamborghini to customers in
2012 also grew by 30 per cent to a figure of 2,083 units.
