Maisto 1:18 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Black

The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera debuted on the Geneva Auto Show in March 2007. According to a Lamborghini press release published in February 2007, the Gallardo Superleggera is the sportiest, and most ‘purist’ Gallardo ever. Introduced as a lightweight version of the Gallardo, Superleggera is Italian for “super light”, the car is a direct competitor of the Porsche 997 GT3 and the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

In Geneva, Lamborghini showed two Gallardo Superleggeras, one finished in Grigio Telesto and the other one finished in Arancio Borealis. The Grigio Telesto car was fitted with the high rear wing, while the Arancio Borealis car was shown with the low rear wing. Both cars were equipped with the European style bucket seats. Normal seatbelts for the Arancio Borealis car, the Grigio Telesto car was equipped with the 4-point harnesses. Both cars lacked the multi media system.
Unfortunately, no VINs are known of the two show cars.

The Superleggera is powered by Lamborghini’s well-known 4,961 cm3 V10. The output is 530 hp, 10 hp more than the standard Gallardo engine. The increase in power is made possible by the engine’s improved volumetric efficiency through reduced intake load losses and by exhaust backpressures, together with optimized electronic control.
