More Powerful Than the Standard Gallardo The LP560-4 features a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 engine, producing 560 PS (552 hp) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque, an increase over the previous Gallardo models.
"LP560-4" Name Explained The name LP560-4 stands for "Longitudinale Posteriore" (longitudinal rear engine), 560 PS horsepower, and 4-wheel drive, describing its drivetrain layout.
Faster Acceleration Than Its Predecessor With the added power and lighter weight, the LP560-4 accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds, making it quicker than earlier Gallardo models.
Top Speed Exceeds 325 km/h (202 mph) The LP560-4 has a higher top speed than its predecessor, reaching 325 km/h (202 mph), making it one of the fastest Gallardos ever built.
Lighter and More Rigid Chassis The LP560-4 is around 20 kg (44 lbs) lighter than the previous Gallardo, thanks to a revised aluminum space frame, improving handling and performance.
Updated E-Gear Transmission The LP560-4 introduced a refined 6-speed E-Gear automated manual transmission, delivering 40% quicker shifts compared to earlier models.
Aggressive Styling Inspired by the Lamborghini Reventón The front bumper, rear diffuser, and Y-shaped LED headlights were inspired by the Lamborghini Reventón, giving it a more futuristic and aerodynamic look.
Improved Fuel Efficiency and Lower Emissions Despite its increase in power, the LP560-4 was 18% more fuel-efficient than its predecessor, thanks to direct fuel injection (a first for Lamborghini V10 engines).
Advanced All-Wheel Drive System for Better Handling The permanent AWD system ensures better traction, with 30% of power sent to the front wheels and 70% to the rear wheels, improving stability in all conditions.
Variants Included Spyder, Super Trofeo, and LP570-4 Models Lamborghini produced multiple versions of the LP560-4, including a Spyder convertible, a Super Trofeo race version, and the lighter, more powerful LP570-4 Superleggera.

The Gallardo LP560-4 marked a major evolution of Lamborghini's legendary V10, offering 552hp, permanent AWD, and striking looks in a more reliable package than its predecessors.
As the last Gallardo before the Huracán, it's now a rising modern classic.
