Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 At Pepper Lunch In Beijing

Lamborghini Gallardo

A Lamborghini LP 560-4 with a LP 570-4 Superleggera front-bumper conversion body kit, seen in front of my favorite Pepper Lunch restaurant in Beijing, capital of China. The speedy Lamboo was painted in yellow and stood on matte gray wheels.

Note the Zhejiang province license plate. A·5LP70. The ‘A’ indicates it is a very old plate, the earliest series ever launched. This plate has likely been on a few other cars before it ended up on this Lamboo. ‘5LP70’ is close enough to LP 570.

Pepper Lunch is a Japanese chain of high end fast-food restaurant, serving large portions of meat in a heated sizzling plate! They mainly operate in Asia, with China being their second-largest market after Japan.

Beijing today has seven Pepper Lunch restaurants but, unlike at McDonald’s, the food doesn’t taste the same in each place, likely because the cooking procedures aren’t enforced hard enough.

In some Pepper Lunch restaurants in Beijing, the meat is clearly under-cooked before it goes on the sizzling plate. In others it is cooked too long. But in this restaurant, just west of the eastern section of the Fifth Ring Road, the meat is perfect. So I go there all the time. Sometimes twice a week.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 engine with an output of 552 hp and 540 Nm. 0-100 is gone in 3.7 seconds and top speed is 325 km/h.

The interior in black leather with carbon fiber detailing.

The conversion kit didn’t cover much of the rear. Kits of this kind are very common in China and at this moment especially popular with owners of McLaren cars who ‘convert’ their older MP4-12C models to the new 650S.

The mighty V10 engine in the middle.

Cleaner guy takes a well-deserved break.
