Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante

Lamborghini achieved this by replacing numerous parts with carbon fiber components, both in the cabin and on the body. Those obsessed with numbers should know that 40% of the weight savings can be traced back to the exotic composite.

The body shell is a spaceframe structure, made from aluminum, another material that goes easy on the scales, while being extremely strong. Making this setup even better was a huge task, Lamborghini says, but, thanks to the aforementioned carbon fiber parts, in the end, engineers pulled it off.

They used the material for the panel covering the soft-top, engine and transmission, and also for parts of the bodykit, like the rear spoiler, diffuser and mirror casings. Furthermore, the center tunnel cover is also made from carbon fiber, as are the door panels and the sport seats' shell.

As previously reported, the end result is total weight of 1,485 kg (3,275 lbs), which is nothing short of impressive when you factor in that open-top cars need serious strengthening to maintain the optimal structural rigidity.
