The LP570-4 Blancpain Edition was presented today by Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, and Marc A. Hayek, President and CEO of Blancpain, at the final race weekend of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo in the “Piero Taruffi” circuit, Vallelunga. The road-legal Blancpain Edition celebrates the two-year relationship between the Italian supercar brand and the watchmaker.   Lamborghini’s partnership with Blancpain, the watch maker, is no  longer  limited to the Super Trofeo racing series as they unveiled  together the  first road-going Blancpain edition Lamborghini Gallardo.
The new features of the 2011 Lamborghini Super Sport Cars Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Blancpain Edition   are easily noticeable. It comes with a huge front bumper, massive rear   spoiler and diffuser, and new side skirts. These bits are all inspired   by the actual racing car, but they look a bit too aggressive for a  road  car. One other feature derived from the racing model is the new  engine  cover, which is optimized for better ventilation, and looks  superb!

“Lamborghini super sports cars   is extremely happy about its cooperation with Blancpain. In just its   second year, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo has established   itself in the premier league of gentlemen’s racing,” says Stephan   Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “Each race is a   battle of dedication and passion for every single hundredth of a  second  – something that characterizes both of our brands. The  Lamborghini  Gallardo LP570-4 Blancpain Edition demonstrates the close  bond between  our road-going super sports cars and the race car.”The   engine that powers the Gallardo Blancpain is the same V10 unit from  the  series Superleggera production car which churns out 570 hp. Given  the  1340 kilograms (2954 lb) weight of the car which results in   power-to-weight ratio of 2.35 kilograms (5.18 lb) per hp, this car is   capable of going from zero to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and   flies past the 200 km/h (124 mph) mark only 6.8 seconds later,   ultimately exceeding 320 km/h (199 mph).
Blancpain   is the title sponsor of the successful Lamborghini Blancpain Super   Trofeo series. The cooperation between these two brands brings together   the highest levels of engineering excellence from the automotive and   chronometry industries. Blancpain has been producing innovative   masterpieces of watch-making art in Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux since   1735. Each timepiece is assembled by one single watchmaker, reflecting   the quality and individual attention with which Lamborghini builds its   super sports cars for the road, and its 570 hp Super Trofeo race cars.
Abaut   Lamborghini Gallardo : The Lamborghini Gallardo (Italian  pronunciation:  [ga'?arðo][citation needed]) is a sports car built by  Lamborghini. The  Gallardo is Lamborghini's most-produced model to date,  with over 10,000  built in its first seven years of production. Each  car costs about  $180,000 to $210,000. The car is named after a famous  breed of fighting  bull. The Spanish word gallardo  translates into  "gallant".
The  Gallardo offers  two choices of transmissions, a conventional (H-Box)  six-speed manual  transmission, and an advanced six-speed  electro-hydraulically  controlled semi-automatic robotized manual, which  Lamborghini  abbreviates to "E-gear". The "E-gear" allows the driver to  make shifts  much faster than a manual transmission would. The driver  shifts up and  down via paddles behind the steering wheel, but also has  an automatic  mode.
The car will be exhibited at the Paris Motor Show.
