Gallardo’s replacement to roll out by Lamborghini by 2013

Lamborghini Gallardo has been an eye-catcher since its launch in 2003. This super-fast sports car has a built count of 12,000 units and is surprisingly the highest produced model of Lamborghini. This Italian auto giant is awed by the overwhelming response this marvelous super-car has garnered around the world and has planned to gift the auto world a replacement of it. Officially, the Lamborghini Cabrera will replace the Lamborghini Gallardo as an entry-level Lamborghini. The latest Lamborghini will sport an all-wheel drive coupled with a dual-clutch automatic transmission. The same V10 powerplant of Gallardo will be adopted by the car and will be able to pump as much power as that of 600 horses.
According to the company in order to make most of the automated components an automatic transmission must be offered. The whole car presenting the seamless performance of bearing the automatic transmission has been provided with the explanation for the absence of the manual transmission variant of the Lamborghini Cabrera. CEO of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann mentioned that design is a revolution and will be given utmost importance in the replacement of Gallardo. Mr. Winkelmann also said that the carbon fiber integrated construction of Aventador will not be followed in Cabrera; the design traits would also be uncommon.
Various other high-end features too have been excluded from the Cabrera which will result in the competitive pricing of the Lamborghini Cabrera. The Lamborghini Cabrera is expected to be lighter than Lamborghini Gallardo. As per the expert reports, the Cabrera will share the platform which is the Volkswagen’s modular sports car architecture with Audi R8 and Porsche sports models. The current Lamborghini Gallardo shares its chassis architecture with Audi R8. The other common parts include the V10 engine of R8 Spyder which has been adopted from Gallardo. The future variants of Lamborghini Cabrera and Audi R8 are expected to share 15-20 percent more parts in future.Automobile News
