In the Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante, LP stands for "Longitudinale Posteriore" and refers to the orientation of the V10 engine - which is mounted longitudinally behind the driver, just like every Lamborghini engine. The number 570 refers to the maximum power output in horsepower, available at 8,000 rpm. The torque curve peaks at 398 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. The increase of 10 horsepower over the standard model is the result of the new dedicated engine management strategy.
The weight savings and horsepower make for an awfully quick convertible: Lamborghini claims that the zero-to-60 mph sprint is achieved in just 3.9 seconds, while the top speed is 202 mph.
