The most extreme version of the Lamborghini Gallardo unleashed at IAA in form of the LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale.

This is the closest Lamborghini could get to a tamed version of the Sesto Elemento. They’ve mixed some of its design cues with features borrowed from the Super Trofeo race car. The end result is one helluva car, the ultimate track toy.

The STS features the same rear spoiler as the Blancpain Trofeo race car, which can be adjusted manually in order to let the driver optimize the car’s performance according to the track or road characteristics.

Another element taken directly from the racing version is the removable engine hood with quick-release system. Both the spoiler and the hood are of course made of carbon composite material, as are a host of other components on the SuperTrofeo Stradale. Together with aluminum, carbon fiber is the basis behind the extremely lightweight construction of Gallardo’s new top model.

The car features a new color called “Rosso Mars” racing red, but can also be ordered in “Grigio Telesto” or “Bianco Monocerus” with the roof available in gloss black as an option, as mentioned above.

This race-bred Gallardo weighs only 1340 kilograms, which given its 570 hp/540 Nm V10 engine means it goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reaches 200 km/h just 10.4 seconds later, and tops out at 320 km/h.

This is to all intents and purposes a race car that just happened to be road legal. It features full-on racing suspension, 19-inchlightweight alloys, and Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires as well as carbon-ceramic brakes.

The optional equipment designed with racing in mind includes not only the carbon-fiber ceramic brake discs, but also a tubular interior roll cage, 4-point safety belts and fire extinguisher. On the other hand, those who want comfort can equip their Super Trofeo Stradale with a satellite navigation, with Bluetooth connection for mobile phones, an anti-theft system, and a lifting system that raises the front axle.
