Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder at L.A.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder arrives at LA Auto Show We’ve been expecting a drop-top version of the rear-wheel drive Gallardo – which first saw the light of day as a Balboni Limited Edition – for a while. And what better place to debut the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder than in a place where the sun always shines? So Lamborghini arrives at the L.A Motor show with a car that could have been built for California.

VW Golf GTD (2009) first pictures

By Chris Chilton First Official Pictures 27 March 2009 12:30 Volkswagen UK hasn’t even delivered its first new Golf GTi but is already showing us this: the GTD, its diesel alter ego. Powered by a 168bhp version of VW’s ubiquitous common rail 2.0-litre turbodiesel four it sprints to 62mph in just 8.1sec compared with 7.1sec for the 207bhp petrol GTi and its 136mph top speed falls 12mph short. But with 256lb ft of torque (the GTi makes do with 207lb ft) on hand, the diesel should have the upper hand in mid-range performance.

And Volvo’s new Flywheel KERS system does look promising. Volvo are currently running UK tests of a KERS flywheel system developed by Flybrid Automotive, which takes kinetic energy generated under braking and stores it in a flywheel fitted to the back axle.
