Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale hits the stage



Following a bit of an early leak ahead of its actual debut on the eve of the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, Lamborghini has gone ahead and pulled the sheets off its Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale for real. And it's a beauty.

Looking rather fetching in its flawless coat of Rosso Mars paint, which the automaker proudly claims recognizes Italy's famous red racing cars, this latest version of Lambo's V10-powered supercar is based on the LP570-4 Blancpain Edition that was unveiled at last year's Paris Motor Show. That means it weighs 2,954 pounds and makes good use of its 570 horsepower to hit 0-62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds.

That massive rear spoiler is manually adjustable to help keep the wheels on the ground, and both it and the car's hood are crafted from carbon fiber. Lamborghini will happily plaster the interior with carbon goodness in place of the standard black and red motif, surely for an extra charge.

Only 150 of these special Gallardos are earmarked for production, in either the aforementioned red hue or, optionally, in Grigio Telesto or Bianco Monocerus.

I like the car overall but not sure about those over sized air scoopes tho, maybe if it is painted the same color as body.

Love the red here - it manages to be bright and bold while not as aggressive or garish as similar reds like Rosso Scuderia.

I also love that Lamborghini is committed to keeping weights down in its special editions. <3000 lbs is amazing for supercars in the current day and age.

I'm guessing that in Italian, all words always sound awesome...

How many more Gallardos are they going to be able to have before they run out of cool names to attach to it?
