Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder and LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale
The Stradale is essentially a street-legal version of the cars that run in Lamborghini’s Blancpain Super Trofeo race series in Europe (rich dudes racing each other in similar Gallardos). (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
The Stradale is 154 pounds lighter than a stock 560-4, coming in at 2,954 pounds, dry (without any fluids like gasoline, oil or coolants, which can add several hundred pounds). (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
This low weight allows it to hit 60 miles an hour in 3.2 seconds and then top out at 199 mph. (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
This Super Trofeo Stradale will cost you $286,595, which includes destination and $16,450 carbon ceramic brakes. (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
Changes from your average Gallardo include the massive rear wing... (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
...and the removable engine cover, both of which are made from carbon composite. (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)

Lamborghini figured a little additional exclusivity couldn’t hurt, so the company is only making 150 of them. (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
Meanwhile the 550-2 Spyder is a little more of a traditional offering, as much as a $253,985, bright blue, Italian convertible is traditional. (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
This car sheds weight too, but via a more direct method of simply jettisoning the all-wheel-drive system found on most Gallardo’s and instead using good old fashioned rear-wheel drive (with a limited-slip differential). (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
