While I was covering the American Le Mans Series this year, I got a chance to check out a lot of the SCCA World Challenge cars. One make that was totally absent? Lamborghini. For reasons unknown, Ferruccio Lamborghini didn’t want to race his creations, so until very recently—with the announcement of the Super Trofeo Series—there had never been any factory recognition to competition Lamborghinis. But that doesn’t mean privateers haven’t taken Raging Bulls onto the track, and this year, DP7 Racing in going to campaign in the SCCA World Challenge with this weapons-grade Gallardo. There were so many guys gathered around this car that getting a picture of it, was pretty tricky, but I think I managed to get some good shots. The body is carbon fiber, and after some engine tweaks, the 5.0 V-10 is pushing a burly 570HP. Here’s hoping it fares well on the track. More pics after the jump.
