After completing the stunning Gallardo LP 560-4 and 550-2 Valentino Balboni, you would think Lamborghini would take a break. A series of renderings on Lambocars.com, a Lamborghini enthusiast Web site, may prove otherwise.
Pouring gasoline on the latest rumor firebed, the renderings depict a Gallardo bearing white paint, a massive rear wing, carbon fiber bodywork, and a two-letter moniker well-known to Lamborghini diehards: SV. Lambocars.com believes a SuperVeloce edition of the Gallardo is in the works, estimating 570-hp from a 5.2L V-10. The Web site even ponders the existence of a rear-drive Balboni edition, based on the success of the most recent special edition Gallardo.
The Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce, which we tested in last year, boasts a 661-hp V-12 and all-wheel drive. It reached 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and the quarter mile in just 11.4 seconds at 125.8 mph. If such a Gallardo SuperVeloce is in the works, you might expect it to debut at the Geneva auto show in March.
