new Gallardo has arrived. Featuring an all-new V10 powerplant pushing

sequential manual transmission featuring 40-percent faster gear
changes, this car pushes the Gallardo's performance envelope ever
further into the extreme. The Gallardo LP560 also features a 40-pound
reduction in weight, a revised suspension setup for improved handling,
and aggressive new aerodynamics loosely derived from the ultra-limited,
