An Italian Luxury Design
While a special sports car, the Gallardo has sold over 10,000 units to date. Based on Lamborghini's most popular car in its history, a luxurious special edition has been created to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy, Lamborghini's home country.
First to catch the eye is the innovative exterior. The aluminum body features a meticulously hand-painted, single line in green, white, and red, inspired by the Italian flag, running from the front hood across the roof to the rear spoiler, conveying the exquisite design flair of Italy.
The interior uses carefully selected "Nero Perseus" black leather, with matching green, white, and red stripes on the seats. Additionally, special features such as embroidered lettering and a metallic plate indicating the special edition enhance the sense of luxury. Carbon fiber is also used for parts of the e-gear console and steering wheel.
Dynamic Driving Achieved Through High-Spec Powertrain and Tuning
The "Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore" is based on the "Gallardo LP 550-2," the only 2WD model in the current lineup, and is equipped with a 5.2-liter V10 DOHC engine. It delivers a maximum output of 405kW (550ps) at 8,000rpm and a maximum torque of 540Nm (55.04kgm) at 6,500rpm. It boasts a 0-100km/h acceleration of just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 320km/h.
The supercar essence extends beyond the powertrain. To achieve a high level of driving enjoyment and safety, the handling characteristics have been tuned for rear-wheel drive. The aerodynamics have also been adjusted to suit rear-wheel drive, enabling dynamic driving.
The "Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore," from Lamborghini, a symbol of "Italy," expresses "more Italianness." Its beauty can even be perceived as artistic.
