The new version will be called Superleggera, and sources say it will weigh about 220 pounds less than the current car, putting it just shy of 3000 pounds.

Lamborghini also will boost the output of its 5.0-liter V-10 engine, pushing it up 10 hp to a total of 530 hp. Acceleration times to 60 mph should drop to less than four seconds, while top speed will rise to just under 200 mph.

Stay tuned for more on the superlight Lamborghini as TheCarConnection covers the Geneva show next week.
