In cooperation with Blancpain, Lamborghini is starting a new single-make race series. Like Porsche and Ferrari the series will include one model, a competition-spec Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (Super Trofeo). Each race will feature 30 cars, driven by wealthy private owners, dealer teams and a single Lambo sponsored “celebrity driver” who’ll change from race-to-race.

The Super Trofeo racer weighs in at 1300 kg/2866 lb and comes with all the requisite safety equipment; race-specific chassis adjustments, ABS brakes and wheels; Pirelli slicks; new instrumentation; and aero tweaks.
