Supercar manufacturer Lamborghini and luxury watchmaker Blancpain have collaborated to develop a very special super sports car: the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition.
Unveiled at the final race weekend of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo on Sunday September 26 in the "Piero Taruffi" circuit, Vallelunga, the limited edition Gallardo was developed in honour of the huge success of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo racing series.
Lamborghini is extremely happy about its cooperation with Blancpain. In just its second year, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo has established itself in the premier league of gentlemen's racing," said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
"Each race is a battle of dedication and passion for every single hundredth of a second – something that characterizes both of our brands. The Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition demonstrates the close bond between our road-going super sports cars and the race car."

Boasting some unique features such as a gigantic rear spoiler, a vented engine cover, Skorpius wheels with yellow-painted brake calipers and discs made from carbon-ceramic composite, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Blancpain Edition is also finished in a lush matt black paintwork.The bespoke interior is finished entirely in black Alcantara with yellow accents and visible carbon-fibre. The Blancpain logo is placed on the exterior and also featured on the seats and cockpit in yellow stitching.
Powered by the same 419 kW, 5.2-litre V10 engine found in the Superleggera version, the power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle also sits handsomely at only 2.35 kilograms (5.18 lb) per hp thus guaranteeing breathtaking performance. This super sports car handles the dash from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and flies past the 200 km/h mark only 6.8 seconds later, and ultimately reaching 325 km/h.
