Lamborghini’s Gallardo-replacing Cabrera hits the ‘Ring

Lamborghini’s Gallardo successor has has been spotted undergoing its first round of shakedown testing on Germany’s Nurburgring. Believed to be called the Cabrera, Lamborghini’s latest supercar will likely bow sometime next year as a 2015 model.

The Cabrera remains covered by camouflage, but it’s clear that Lamborghini’s entry-level model will borrow styling cues from the company’s Aventador flagship. The Cabrera will also adopt the Aventador’s use of lightweight composites – such as carbon fiber and aluminum – which should result in a significant weight loss compared to the outgoing Gallardo.

Up front the “eyes” of the bull are exposed, revealing that the Cabrera will adopt the same style of LED daytime running lights as the Aventador.  Two large are inlets are also visible in the lower section of the front bumper.

Heavy camouflage masks most of the Cabrera’s other design details, but air vents just aft of the front doors and quad exhaust outlets will be part of the package. 

The Cabrera will retain the Gallardo’s V10 engine, but power should increase to 600 horsepower. The Cabrera will be offered exclusively with an automatic transmission.

Carbon ceramic discs can be seen peeking out from behind the Cabrera’s multi-spoke wheels, indicating the stopping tech will at least be on the car’s option list, if not standard.

Look for the Lamborghini Cabrera to make its auto show debut sometime in 2014.
