Power output remains unchanged from the regular Gallardo Superleggera or Performante models at 570bhp, but the car features a number of upgrades that are either taken directly from the Super Trofeo racer, or inspired by it – with the aim of creating a road-legal race car.

The rear wing is taken directly from the race car, and is said to produce three times the downforce of the standard Gallardo. Both the quick-release engine cover and rear wing are made from carbon fibre. All the weight-saving measures in the Squadra Corse add up to a dry weight of 1340kg: 70kg less than the regular car, and the same as the Superleggera.

Performance is also around the same, with a 0-62mph in 3.4secs, with a slightly lower 198mph top speed due to the extra drag of the wing. Like the Super Trofeo, the Squadra Corse is fitted with the six-speed semi-automatic e-gear transmission, and four-wheel drive.

Inside, the model is trimmed with a mixture of red and black alcantara, as well as extensive use of carbon fibre – to add to the competition car feel. It can be ordered in yellow, white, grey or red and can be identified by the ‘tricolore’ stripes on the side.
