Lamborghini LP560-4 or LP550?
What's in a name
We know that Lamborghini will bring an updated Gallardo to the Geneva Motor Show since we have spotted the car testing already, but what its new name will be is not yet clear. First, rumors surfaced that the new Lambo Gallardo Coupe would be named the LP550 but today an official sounding press release surfaced on Tuningnews which has Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winckelmann calling the new car LP560-4.
“The new Gallardo LP560-4 is a significantly enhanced version of what was already an extreme car,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini SpA. “With an even more sharply defined character, the new Gallardo LP560-4 is also innately elegant and sensuous : the expression of an uncompromised lifestyle.”
Whatever the name will be, the new Lamborghini Gallardo will be hot and a crowd-puller by default. On the eve (March 3) of the first press day the new Lamborghini will be revealed to the press at a private Volkswagen Group event, and we will be there to bring you the first photos of the 4-wheel drive 560 PS beast.
Yes, indeed, What is in a name? Well, this subtle move sets the crew up at Lamborghini to possibly release even more hairy-chested versions such as a Superleggera 5XX - 2 with only rear drive as the ultimate expression of lightweight and driving enthusiasm like Porsche's GT2. Porsche used this technique of a base platform and many versions to become the most profitable car company. It appears the Bulls may be running in that direction also! Bravo!
"the expression of an uncompromised lifestyle."
whatever.
whatever the name i'm sure its gonna be cool.
