The full-time all-wheel drive Gallardo LP560-4 coupe is powered by a new-for-2009, 560 hp direct-injected 5.2-liter V10 (with 40 horsepower more than the previous year?s 5.0-liter V10) controlled by a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional sequential six-speed 'E-gear' transmission, now upgraded for quicker gearshifts. The suspension, axles and differentials have also been upgraded. Optional light-weight carbon ceramic brakes offer superior durability and reduce brake fade, where the brakes become less effective due to overheating in extremely demanding conditions such as racing. An available clear glass engine cover allows the owner to display the engine. Other options include Alcantara interior trim, navigation system, rear view parking camera, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, iPod integration, and a variety of wheel designs and colors. While not totally redesigned, most of the 2009 Gallardo LP560-4, with new fascias, engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and exterior lighting, has been revised.
