Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
The oomph responsible for making the Gallardo a true 200-mph supercar
comes from a completely new engine - it's a 90-degree, aluminum V-10,
just like the old unit, but with bigger bore spacing.
It displaces 5.2 liters and, with the help of FSI direct injection,
produces 560 metric hp at 8000 rpm - up from 520 in the 2008 model.
Torque is also up, from 376 lb-ft at 4250 rpm to 398 lb-ft at 6500 rpm,
but don't let the elevated peak rpm fool you -
the new engine has more low-end torque than the old one.
FSI allows a much higher compression ratio, at 12.5:1 instead of 11.0:1,
and the new engine makes more grunt everywhere in the engine's operating range.
