ONE-MAKE SERIES // LAMBO 'SUPER TROFEO'

Lamborghini is getting into the factory backed, arrive and drive race program. Hell, Ferrari does it (see Ferrari Challenge) and for that matter, so does Porsche. So it seems an appropriate time for the raging bull to pit deep pocketed drivers against one another in race prepped Lambo’s. Why not?!

The car will be a competition spec, Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, which Lamborghini is calling the Super Trofeo. A field of 30 cars is expected at each race, with drivers ranging from private owners and dealer teams, to a single Lamborghini sponsored ‘celebrity,’ who will rotate at each venue. The Super Trofeo will feature all the appropriate safety equipment, weigh in at 2866-lbs and include ABS braking, Pirelli slicks and a few aerodynamic adjustments. The 5.2-liter V10 is said to be good for 570bhp (at all four wheels) and will be put to ground via Lamborghini’s e.gear six speed sequential gearbox. With a buy-in of €200,000 (includes car, parts and trackside support), it seems a reasonable way to go racing (racing a Lamborghini that is). Sign us up // 10.27.2208
