LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO LP560-4 SUPER TROFEO
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Super Trofeo will be the star of the new race series launched in 2009 by Automobili Lamborghini - the world's fastest one make series. In May 2009, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo took the title with his first race. In late October, she has completed 18 races on famous European circuits, supporting popular series like the Deutsche Tourenwagen-Meisterschaft (DTM), the FIA GT Series and the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). To participate, the factory offers its customers an exclusive sports machine - the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Super Trofeo with 419 kW (570 hp), a reworked chassis and significantly reduced weight.
The Super Trofeo is the only one-make series in the motorsport world to feature cars with all-wheel drive. And it is Lamborghini clear objective to ensure that this will be the fastest single-brand series in the world - partly due to the technical superiority of the principle of AWD. May the Super Trofeo will make guest appearances in six races - at Silverstone (UK), on the Adria Raceway (Italy), on the Norisring (Germany), Spa (Belgium), Barcelona (Spain ) and Monza (Italy).
Lamborghini is building 30 cars for the Super Trofeo, which they are making available to individual enthusiasts, as well as Lamborghini dealer teams. The factory will enter one car for himself, and plans to commission well-known guest drivers to take the wheel. And on the edge of the racing action, the venue for Super Trofeo Village will be available.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Super Trofeo (2009)
The Super Trofeo race car is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, powered by the new 5.2 liter V10 direct injection (IDS), generating an increased output of 419 kW (570 hp). Its flow of energy in the gearbox e.gear six-speed robotized transmission with permanent all-wheel traction viscous - the type of power transmission perfectly suited to motorsport.
The Lamborghini
Blancpain Super Trofeo will take to the track in May 2009 and is the
only one make series in the world that can offer all-wheel drive cars. And it is also set to be the fastest racing series with one brand worldwide - is the objective clearly stated.
This November sees Lamborghini begin work in Sant'Agata Bolognese on the construction of 30 race cars that make up the grid. In spring and summer of 2009, the Super Trofeo will run 18 races on well-known European circuits, starting May 3 at Silverstone (UK) and May 17 on the Adria Raceway (Italy), July 5 on the Norisring Nuremberg (Germany), 2 August in Spa (Belgium), September 20 in Barcelona (Spain) and 4 October in Monza (Italy). * Provisional dates
For six weekends of racing, the brand new Lamborghini only trophy will be in the company of sterling - in Nuremberg and Barcelona, enjoy the track with the Deutsche Tourenwagen-Meisterschaft (DTM), while the race Monza is in cooperation with the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). At Silverstone, Adria and Spa, the Super Trofeo will complement the FIA GT sports car.
The rules are simple. Either one or two drivers per car can register for the series. On Friday, two sessions of 30 minutes, one of which is a qualifying session. The first race will take place on Saturday with two other races during the weekend of racing. Each race lasts approximately 40 minutes and the results are added. No additional weight penalty will be imposed on vehicles most successful. The cars can not be changed during the season - all relevant factors - engine, transmission and chassis - are marked accordingly.
The title sponsor of the Super Trofeo is exclusive Swiss watchmaker Blancpain.

The technical basis for the Super Trofeo is already a winner - not unless the Gallardo LP560-4, the brand's latest model. Builders took the basic design of its engine, transmission and chassis.
They then carried out extensive detailed rework and refinement of all
components to prepare them for racetrack performance - with the
objective of making the Super Trofeo the fastest-make series in the
world.
As is the case for all Lamborghinis, the engine of the race car is mounted longitudinally. Located amidships, the V10 was newly developed for the LP560-4 and has a displacement of 5204 cm3. At 6500 r / min, it generates 540 Nm of torque to the crankshaft and, at 8000 r / min, a magnificent 419 kW (570 hp). The increase of 7 kW (10 hp) against the production model is the result of recalibrated engine management. The exhaust system was also developed specifically for the task to be extremely light. The V10 works with it to produce a technical symphony of powerful harmonics that builds up in the towers of meat with a crescendo to finish in a mighty fortissimo.
The naturally aspirated ten-cylinder is race engine perfection. Its number of cylinders is the ideal synthesis of high performance, mighty pulling power, the stimulus-footed, high, low weight and compact dimensions. Its technical refinements include dry sump lubrication, which guarantees oil supply even in extreme lateral acceleration, while at the same time lowering the center of gravity. The angle of 90 degrees on the cylinder housing serves the same purpose. The block is hypereutectic aluminum alloy, with the bore surfaces machined in the mass. The connecting rods are forged steel and the pistons are aluminum.
The V10 features direct injection-"iniezione Diretta Stratificata" - which draws the fuel via injectors placed laterally into the combustion chambers at pressures up to 100 bar. Direct injection reduces knock sensitivity and provides a degree of internal cooling - thus enabling a high compression ratio of 12.5:1, which results in a high power output and high levels of fuel consumption. All four camshafts feature variable adjustment, facilitating a broad spectrum of valve control times and thus improve the load characteristics throughout the entire rpm range.

The specific power of the short-stroke engine is 109.5 hp per liter of displacement - each resume should not move more than 2.28 kilograms, because the race car weighs only 1.300 kg dry.
As the LP560-4, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Super Trofeo also features four-wheel drive with "viscous traction" - an exclusive technology from Lamborghini. The viscous coupling in the drive train, which operates without electronic control, distributes the driving force in normal operating conditions at a ratio of 30:70. If necessary, it adjusts to specific requirements and driving conditions within milliseconds. Grip is optimized at the rear axle via a mechanical differential providing up to 45 percent limited slip.
Only 1,300 kilograms (dry weight) - the Super Trofeo shows its race car character on the scales, too. Compared to the sports car series production, the weight was reduced by 110 kg, which includes ca. 35 kg added by the extra, rollcage high strength essential for motorsport.
The body of the Super Trofeo is 4.34 meters long, 1.90 meters wide and only 1.16 meters high. It is built using the spaceframe method - cast nodes and extruded to create a framework in which aluminum panels are friction locked and form fitted. In Lamborghini Typically, the shell is not only extremely lightweight, it also is exceptionally safe and offers tremendous torsional stiffness - forming the basis of its exceptional handling characteristics.
A glance is all it takes to see the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Super Trofeo race car is a luxury. The front apron and splitter that directs the airflow under the underbody specially smoothed aluminum, the rear of the hood and front compartment cover, side skirts, diffuser, rear skirt and wing are large all made from carbon fiber composite. Using screws, the rear wing can be repositioned according to the needs of various demanding race tracks. The cover panels and the front compartment are opened and closed using quick release fasteners. All windscreens and windows are made of polycarbonate Makrolon lightweight hi-tech instead of glass.
The majority of the weight savings achieved by Lamborghini Super Trofeo took place in the inside of the vehicle. Alcantara black finish, the panels are made from carbon fiber composite. The roof and door sections are presented uncovered - displaying the raw beauty of functional technology. The carpet and sound-absorbing acoustic materials have been removed, as well as dual-zone climate control and audio systems and multimedia. Regardless of the removal of weight, each of the criteria of high quality uncompromising feature the Lamborghini brand still applies - even more so in the construction of the Super Trofeo.
Instead of mass production of electrically adjustable sports seats, the Super Trofeo is equipped with a low mounted racing bucket seat, which provides perfect ergonomic support for the driver. The seat is produced in very light and stiff Kevlar composite carbon fiber, and covered with black cloth. Its underside is black anodized aluminum. racing harnesses six-point secure the upper body. The Racing Seat only save more than 50 kg.
A data display system integrated into the bus of the CAN race car retains all the important information regarding the function and status of technology. The steering wheel rim with his pieces can be removed to enter the vehicle via a quick coupler. Shift lights in the dashboard indicates when a rev limit has been reached, while a screen displays the time in turn. A main switch for the electricity network on board and a fire extinguishing system - both of which can be activated from outside the vehicle - complete the specific equipment in the race car made for the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo .
