The 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo 570-4 Superleggera (say that 10 times fast) looks just like one of my most treasured Hot Wheels toys from childhood. Well, maybe not just childhood, in fact I think I have this model sitting in my Hot Wheels Rollin' 100 car collector case.
The ultralight all-wheel drive supercar was officially unveiled this week at the 80th international Geneva Motor Show. The 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo 570-4 Superleggera is 154 lbs lighter than it's predecessor and boasts a 570 horsepower 5.2-liter V10. Although the only thing that makes this racer green is the color, you have to admit it is one mean looking machine.
