Lamborghini Preparing Gallardo Superleggera

The battle between the Prancing Horse and the Raging Bull is the most epic in the automotive industry, with Maranello and Sant'Agata always searching for ways to one-up eachother. (Which one is Borat and which one is his neighbor with the iPod mini depends on your perspective.) So with Ferrari preparing to release the F430 Challenge Stradale, Lamborghini wasn't going to be left holding its fedora. That's why reports are surfacing that Lamborghini is working on a new, lightweight version of the Gallardo.

Reviving the classic Superleggera name from Italian automotive history, the Gallardo Superleggera will shed "frills" from the cabin (for example sound insulation, thick glass, carpeting, power features, stereo, air conditioning and leather) and replace body panels with carbon fiber, a targeted weight savings of 220 lbs, bringing the total curb weight to less than 3000 lbs.

I'll take the Lambo based on superior performance, looks, exclusivity and a great yellow paint option.

Separately I thought that this article was going to be about leggy Italian models.

And funny that you say Lambo's are for people who can't get a Ferrari considering every Lambo is more expensive then the Ferrari in their competerive classes.

Gallardo is more expensive then the Ferrari
Murcielago is allot more expensive then the 599.

I'll take it over the F430. The Ferrari name is too ubiquitous, and the Gallardo already has my navigation system. (-;

Love the name. Superleggera. MercBasher, I agree about the leggy Italian supermodels.

The Ferarri and Lambo are great cars, but I'll take an R8 instead. (yeah, I know it will be slower)
