After unveiling its newest product, the Lamborghini announced on Thursday it stopped production of the Gallardo Superleggera, a lightweight, more performance-oriented version of the Gallardo. The Italian exotic car manufacturer shipped just 172 of the cars to the U.S. in its short life span.
The Superleggera weighed 154 lbs less than the standard Gallardo thanks to a heavy diet of carbon fiber and made 10 more horsepower, for a total of 530, from its 5.0 liter V10 engine. There are 46 orange, 45 yellow, 37 black, 34 gray and 10 white Superleggeras on U.S. soil, as per Motor Trend.

For a measly 154 lbs off and 10 more hp, is this really that exclusive?

Wait 20 years … I’m sure the car will keep its value or even appreciate due to their rarity. (esp the white ones). Seriously … who can really afford them but the uber-rich? Most will be garage queens or parked in front of a country club to be talked about over flutes of champagne? Sad to think those race cars will never see what they are capable of doing.

I’m calling marketing tactic and future exclusivity.

Orange is the most popular color?? Then comes yellow?? Yeah, because a black, white or gray Gallardo does not say “hey look at me” enough.

Why can’t Lamborghini just have a LP560-4 Superleggera?

I wonder how one notices the difference between 520 and 530 hp and 154 lbs with motor of over 500 hp output? I believe it was possible to measure the difference in horsepower, but I am sure it wasn’t ordinary: we are talking less then 2% precision in measurement.
