Lamborghini Gallardo’s successor coming in 2010?

Lamborghini is about to unveil an updated version of the Gallardo at the Geneva Motor Show. But the LP560-4 is not the only big news coming: a successor for the Gallardo will also come in 2010. Even if there is no official name for the car yet, we now for sure will be a stunning supercar that will come to compete with Ferrari’s F430 successor.

A few months ago we told you about a successor for the Murcielago that will be launched in 2011. If the 2011 Murcielago will have an output of around 700 hp, the Gallado will go up to 600 hp (40 hp more than the LP560-4 that will be launched in Geneva).

As about the future’s supercar name, well it is pretty hard to predict. We only know it will be named after a famous fighting bull, like every other Lamborghini model.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4SV

Just unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show is the 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV. The number 670 represents the car’s metric horsepower rating (661 bhp in the U.S.), the SV stands for SuperVeloce (extreme speed) and the number 4 signifies all-wheel-drive.

The bump in horsepower from the standard Murciélago’s 640 hp (631 bhp SAE) was accomplished with modified intake system and increased valve lift. According to the factory, the 30-horsepower gain helps to push the new SV to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 sec. Top speed of 212 mph is reached with the standard rear spoiler. A larger rear “Aeropack Wing” can also be ordered to improve stability at high speeds, though the top speed is then reduced to 209 mph.

To further enhance performance, the SuperVeloce went on a diet with lighter components such as a new exhaust system, optimized high-strength sectional steel for the chassis, and sport bucket seats covered with Alcantara. All contributed to the car’s overall weight reduction of about 220 lb.
