Lamborghini LP 550-2 Spyder
2012 Lamborghini LP 550-2 Spyder: Drive Review -- Autoweek
Exploring the muscle-car end of the sports-car spectrum
What is it?
Lamborghini calls this a purist's car, a rear-drive convertible version of the Gallardo. The LP stands for longitudinale/ posteriore, meaning that the engine is longitudinally mounted behind the two seats and forward of the rear axle, which is where you'd expect it to be. The 550 is the output of the normally aspirated V10 in horsepower (though if you convert 405 kilowatts to horsepower you get 543; close enough), which you'd also expect. But the 2 means that all of that power goes to the two rear wheels instead of to all four wheels, as has been far more common in almost all other Lamborghinis in the last 10 to 15 years. The latter you wouldn't expect, given that almost all Lamborghinis have used all-wheel drive to harness their tremendous output. So with all of that power going to the rears, combined with a convertible roof, this Gallardo really should live up to its billing as a purist's ride.
