TOPLESS BEAUTY
The Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder |
It took some time after the introduction of the Lamborghini Gallardo back in 2003 before Automobili Lamborghini SpA took the next logical step ... create a topless
version of this highly successful V10 powered model.
The long awaited Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder was unveiled to the public during the 2005 IAA in Frankfurt, and like the March Auto Show in Geneva, all cars on the floor
were finished in Balloon White, a special new pearl metallic shade of white. But more impressively was a black metallic Spyder with a contrasting white interior ...
hanging from the wall !
During the actual unveiling, this black car was hidden from view, the tall wall sections were sliding open to show this magnificent car to the numerous spectators
that gathered around the Automobili Lamborghini stand to witness this new car first hand.
The white interior of this car did look amazing, but that white dashboard would surely create a lot of glare with the sun on it, however it was still magnificent
looking car, and the first open version of the Gallardo that became available on the market.
| Every Kilometer is just pure pleasure |
Several months earlier the Concept S was shown during the 2005 Geneva Auto Show, and rumors were buzzing around this very special 'Barchetta' would become a limited
production model, but this never happened, so the Spyder version would be your best shot at driving a Gallardo with with your hair in the wind, listening to that
beautiful concerto of 10 cylinders just behind your head.
As on all Gallardo's for the 2006 model year, the V10 would pump out 520 Bhp at 8000 rpm, an increase of 20 bhp compared to previous years, and with the combination of
a slightly lower gear ratio, top speed went up to 315 Km/h.
