[ via Lamborghini Super Trofeo ]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. The powered-up 5.2L direct-injected V10 sends 570 horses to all four wheels via the automaker's e.gear six-speed sequential gearbox. If you have the itch, head to your Lamborghini dealer with �200,000 -- that's the buy-in fee for the car and parts package. Each race will offer trackside support and parts sales to participants, who get to cool their heels in luxury at the Lamborghini Village that'll be set up at every venue. It all starts next May at Silverstone.
