2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder

Look at the first photos of the new 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder. Pics were made this morning ahead of the debut at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show. The drop-top Spyder features a series of styling and mechanical upgrades including a more powerful V10 engine. Cosmetic updates concern the redesigned front bumper, the new taillights and the different alloy wheels.

Open the rear hood and you’ll find the coupe’s new 5.2-liter V10 engine that develops 560 HP at 8,000 rpm (previously 5.0-liter V10 and 520HP). Other improvements concern the redesigned four-wheel drive system and the new suspension set-up.

Meet the VW Passat R36, a new rival of the Mitsubishi Evo X.

The new VW Passat R36 (previous R36 here) will arrive with a 296 hp engine, four-wheel drive and a quick-shifting semi-automatic gearbox. The new R36 is available as both a stylish saloon and practical estate.

The VW Passat R36 is outstanding by a deeper front bumper, bi-xenon headlights, side skirts and twin exhausts at the rear.

Here you will find a 296bhp 3.6-litre V6 connected to six-speed dual clutch gearbox. As a result performance is blistering, with the sprint from standstill to 60mph taking just 5.6 seconds for the saloon and 5.8 for the estate. Both versions have a top speed electronically limited to 155mph.

Prices for the Passat R36 start at 30,990 euro for the saloon, rising to 32,150 euro for the versatile estate.
