A review of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera has been posted over at Car Advice. 'While power is only slightly up on its predecessor, the latest Supeleggera is considerably more efficient with fuel consumption down by 3.5 litres/100km. That's due to the "intiezione Diretta Stratificata" or direct petrol injection, the process of which allows for a very high compression ratio of 12.5:1. It doesn't matter whether you like your six-speeds on the floor or not. Once you get a taste of Lamborghini's super fast E-Gear transmission, there's no going back to old favourites. You simply cannot compete with the speed at which this gearbox shifts ratios and that includes Michael Schumacher and Jensen Button.'
