Cala
The Lamborghini Cala, is a concept car designed for Lamborghini by Italdesign Giugiaro. It was first shown at
the 1995 Geneva
Motor Show. It was a completely functional prototype that never made it into
production. The Cala was designed to fill Lamborghini's need for a replacement for the Jalpa, of which
production was discontinued in 1988, at the behest of then owners of the
company, Chrysler. In 1994 Chrysler
sold Lamborghini to Megatech, the
Cala design took shape, but when Megatech sold Lamborghini to the Volkswagen Group in
1998, the concept was shelved. The Jalpa replacement would not be found in
Lamborghini's lineup until 2003, with the release of the Lamborghini
Gallardo. The Cala was powered by a mid-mounted V10 engine, which produced 400hp, mated
to a 6 speed transmission that drove the rear wheels. Top speed was estimated at
180mph. The car featured in Electronic Arts' Need For Speed II and Need For Speed II
SE.
