Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale hits the stage of Frankfurt

Lamborghini is much like Porsche. They don’t make many cars, but they come up with insane numbers of special edition. Both companies keep on churning out more and more special editions and limited editions of their one particular models, and yet however many edizione specialalzes they cooks up, the world always seems hungry for more. And here it is, its latest treat: the Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale, a 150-copy uber-Gallardo that will be unveiled officially in Frankfurt, just before the Gallardo gets a replacement.

Based on the Gallardo race car, the LP570-4 STS has a maximum dry weight of 2,954 lbs., about 160 lbs. lighter than the standard Gallardo thanks to repeated visits from the carbon fiber fairy, giving it a 0-62 mph time of 3.4 seconds thanks to the 570-hp V10. Painted here in a shade Lamborghini calls “Rosso Mars;” the other colors of “Grigio Telesto” or “Bianco Monocerus” can be ordered from the Italian translation of the Harry Potter books.

Looking rather fetching in its flawless coat of Rosso Mars paint, which the automaker proudly claims recognizes Italy’s famous red racing cars, this latest version of Lambo’s V10-powered supercar is based on the LP570-4 Blancpain Edition that was unveiled at last year’s Paris Motor Show. That means it weighs 2,954 pounds and makes good use of its 570 horsepower to hit 0-62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds.

That massive rear spoiler is manually adjustable to help keep the wheels on the ground, and both it and the car’s hood are crafted from carbon fiber. Lamborghini will happily plaster the interior with carbon goodness in place of the standard black and red motif, surely for an extra charge.

Only 150 of these special Gallardos are earmarked for production, so good luck if you’re interested, coz I’m pretty sure they’re all booked.
