2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder
Dropped into the Spyder is the same updated V-10 from the LP560 coupe. The major changes to the engine are an increase in displacement from 5.0 liters to 5.2, the addition of direct fuel injection, and a higher compression ratio of 12.5:1. The result is 552 horsepower at 8000 rpm (the 560 in the car’s name refers to PS, a European unit of power measurement) and 398 lb-ft of torque at 6500 rpm. Lamborghini predicts 0–62 mph times of 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph.
