2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse 5.2L V10 6AT AWD (570 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Lamborghini introduced the Gallardo 570-4 Squadra Corse at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and gave enthusiasts a street-legal version of the race cars that ran into the brand’s Super Trofeo series competition.

It was supposed to be the last limited edition of this nameplate, although that credit goes to the LP 560-4 Macau GP. But since that was built in just three units and only for the Taiwanese market, the Squadra Corse remained the only one accessible to customers from other continents. Out of 50 units, 15 went to U.S. customers and just three to Canada. It was truly a race car with number plates on it.

The supercar’s look was similar to the one offered by the Superleggera version but fitted with unusual features. Under the front bumper, it had an adjustable spoiler that increased the downforce, while at the back, the adjustable wing was carried over from the race cars that ran into the Super Trofeo competition. In addition, the engine cover featured a quick-release system that allowed customers to completely remove it during a race, for servicing, if needed. Lamborghini provided this special edition in just four colors: Giallo Midas (yellow), Bianco Monocerus (white), Grigio Thalasso (grey), and Rosso Mars (red).

Inside, the carbon-fiber trims and lightweight materials used in the car shaved an additional 70 kilos (154 lbs) compared to its regular Gallardo LP 570-4 sibling. As standard, this version featured racing bucket seats, but regular, more comfortable ones were offered as an option.

But the most significant part of the car was its drivetrain. The uneven firing order for the V10 engine made it sound different than any other similar powerplant on the market. Its six-speed robotized gearbox sent the power in all corners helping the car achieve excellent performance, such as the 0-124 mph (0-200 kph) acceleration time in just 10.4 seconds. To stop this thing, Lamborghini installed carbon-ceramic brakes.
