An LP560-4 ran 123+mph: http://www.dragtimes.com/Lamborghini...lip-18104.html Tom

Interesting comparisons - what is puzzling with the Gallardo is the huge gap in performance between e.g. an 08 and the LP560-4. The LP560-4 is a ferocious animal in all acceleration tests I have read, getting close to cracking the 3 sec 0-60 barrier, yet on paper the car is rated a mere 40 HP higher than a 08 Gallardo. Same goes for the difference between the 5.2 R8 and the 560-4, the gap on the track is huge! but comparing them on paper the difference should not be that much.

I believe that Lamborghini is underrating the LP560-4's hp.

A Superleggera is rated at 530hp (10 more than the SE or 2007 Gallardo) and has dynoed 436awhp on a Dynojet:

A stock LP560-4 has dynoed 496awhp before getting a Heffner TT kit (I believe Heffner does his dynos on Dynojets):

So the LP560-4 likely makes closer to 600hp.
