The Lamborghini Gallardo has been living a very long time and despite the rumours of the ‘final’ version being made, there always seems to be another ‘final’ final version coming out on the market soon after. But after its introduction back in 2003, finally we are having the glimpse of the replacement, and it is called the Cabrera.
Or at least, that is what we heard of what the Gallardo successor will be called. Anyways, we have seen this ‘Cabrera’ on the net a couple of times, but never really had a clear view of what the final product might look like. But the Cabrera once again hit the tarmac and this time, we are having a better idea of the Bull’s overall look.
Spied during testing on the Nurburgring, the Cabrera seems to be taking the design cues from the Aventador. Aimed to fill the entry-level slot in Lamborghini’s line-up, the Cabrera is said to be housing an updated version of the 5.2-liter V10 engine found in the current Gallardo. With the power being pumped up to 600-horsepower, it might bear the LP 600-4 tag.
Like most basic Lamborghinis, all-wheel drive will surely be coming as standard. But the most anticipated change is probably the one done to the car’s mechanical configuration, where the e-gear automated manual might be swapped with a modern seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
For the time being, we could only speculate how the car will take shape but surely more details will emerge along the way before the car is released somewhere in late 2014.
