Gallardo and Murcielago power upgrade

[Gal_TT]

I heard that Lamborghini is planning to increase the Murcielago and Gallardo's power to about 650hp and 600hp respectively. This will put the Murcielago in the Enzo class, and the Gallardo will blow the Ferrari F430 into the woods! I hope they upgrade the cars in other areas aswell _ like optional ceramic brakes, weight reduction, and give the Gallardo less tendency to understeer.
I like this idea, coz Lamborghini's must once again take there rightful place as, the unstopable raging bull!!
If you have any info on this, plz post it.

power upgrades alone can not put the murcielago "in the Enzo class"...

I'm glad it won't be in the Enzo's priceclass

Lamborghini is creating a power upgrade for the murcielago to about 750bhp but they r going to limit it to about 680bhp which is still higher then the enzo.. i think along with this the car will probably will be made lighter. the same with the gallardo only with less power then

[Gal_TT]

I can't wait!!!
These Lambo's are going to rock off.
When will this happen? 2007?

ive herd that the new gallardo could be this year i think, look in the "ferrrari found to be 1 step behind thread" it says something about how there is gonna be a new galardo

It has been widely reported in the British media that there will be a 700bhp 6.5 litre evolution of the current Murcielago's V12, first appearing in the GTR, then the standard car.

The Gallardo will get 600bhp, and the Audi Le Mans will then move towards the Gallardo's current territory, albeit cheaper and not quite as fast.

These are reports coming from magazines that have been talking to the factory btw, so should be accurate.

I hope you know that this IS infact a car forum?


Anyway. I think this is ridicules. It will end with people not being able to handle the power... Just wind back 20 years and not a single car had 600 hp. Now all of a sudden a handfull of cars have a silly amount of power. Where is this going to end? If the battle continues we will see 1000 hp monsters within ten years (well, except the Bugatti...). but, I'm not complaining over more hp

It isn't quite that simple:-

It is more to do with power to weight. Modern cars are required to conform to more and more stringent crash tests, and additional crumple zones and multiple airbags all add weight, so the power to weight ratio should be staying largely the same.

Also things like traction control and awd help get all that power to the road, and hopefully prevent numpties from dissapearing down ditches in their shiny new 600bhp Gallardos.
