This 3-Seconds Club super light Italian bull was the new top model in the Gallardo lineup when she was first launched in 2010 - also the lightest back then in the Lamborghini’s range. Carbon-fiber components peppered the interior for weight saving measure. The owner of this particular unit has given it a fresh coat of satin black paint and it's oozing tons of street presence.

We were not joking if we told you this year's traditional 0808 rounding was an intimate experience with the Traffic Police. sgCarShooters had the privilege to be the chase car for TeamCloud9SG, an exclusive Singapore supercar group that consists of a handful of exotic rides with a few hundred horsepower to spare.

The super convoy started from the West and continued to the North before heading our way down to the South, all these while with two Traffic Police bikes right ahead of us for almost a third of the journey. We wound up the "adventure" with a friendly Traffic Police taking down our particulars for routine checks.

Happy 50th birthday, Singapore!

Rides that took part in the convoy: Mercedes-AMG A 45, Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, BMW i8, Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible, Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. (Chase car: Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR SST)

As we slowly uncover the bull's form factor, accompanying us for the photo shoot is Vanessa, the svelte racequeen who will be posing diligently for the camera. It is no mean feat for the angelic faced lady to manage our pose requests and sometimes, the car's difficult angles under the growing heat of the morning sun.

Okay, we were just as excited as you. Who isn't?  This is the colour you either instantly fall in love with or one that naturally causes your eyes to roll back with a huge curse under your breath. Even the owner admits the polarity of reactions. Well, haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love. The sky will always be blue and sgCarShoot will still deliver.
 

The subject is a 5.2L V10 year 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggara - which also translates to 570 metric brake horsepower, an all-wheel drive system and a super light body weight of 1,340kg, achieved with carbon fiber extensively used inside and out. Although officially in its last year of production with the last Gallardo rolling out of its company’s production line in Sant’ Agata, this baby lambo has set a record with a total of 14,022 units sold in the past 10 years.




The LP570-4 is the more powerful version of the LP560-4, sharing the same bloodline as the previous Superleggera, and the lightest production Lamborghini in its model range. Performance has also been improved for a lighting fast 3.4 seconds century run, delivering maximum torque at 8,000rpm and topping out at a speed of 325km/h.



This is the ultimate crowd magnet and it doesn't help when the shoot assignment was happening on a bustling weekend afternoon. All you wish for was just a split second of crowd dispersion and grab the chance with zero error tolerance.
 

As we head out into the familiar Central Business District route peppered with iconic architecture, all eyes were on the sleek striking pink ride screaming across the tarmac.
