One common formula that most automotive enthusiasts look for in a performance car is light weight and lots of power. Combine the two and the rest should all fall into place in making the ultimate sports or super car. That is pretty much the same formula Lamborghini used with creating the new 2011 Gallardo 570-4 Superleggera. Weighing in at 3,153 lbs. (2,954 lbs dry weight) and powered by a 530 horsepower 5.2-liter V10 delivered through all 4-wheels, the Superleggera means business.
200MPH Club: The Benchmark Has Been Set – Can You Keep Up?

Supercars are now part of a new club in my opinion. Whether you agree with me or not, a new benchmark as has been set for performance cars to be called a “supercar”. The 200mph mark seems almost like a standard if a car wants to be in the once-sacred “supercar status”. I realize many supercars only reach speeds just shy of 200mph but when you consider the over-all performance of some vehicles and the astonishing capabilities, you might as-well welcome them to the 200mph club. With a few (pricy) bolt-ons or ECU programming you may be able to add another 10 to 20 mph to the top speed of many supercars anyway.
Our good friend, Chris Grosser, set out to Ochopee, Florida at a rented 2 mile long aviation runway just recently. The goal was to achieve top speed (in a supercar) during a series of runs in a controlled environment. I am not sure of anything that is more fun other than blasting down flat-out on a runway in a supercar. Below is the excerpt from Chris’s new blog. I encourage you to check out some of his professional photography shots if you have the time.
