Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2

[WyleECoyote]

Just spotted these over at Car pictures and wallpapers - NetCarShow.com

No Details, just pics. Is it a replacement\facelift of the Superleggera?

I doubt the replacement for the Superleggera would actually be less powerful than the standard car.

The basic Gallardo is the LP560. It's the facelifted version of the old one, which has ceased production.

is everyone really missing the most important thing-- that 2 at the end of the name would refer to it being rwd... which would be very interesting indeed. probably considerably lighter and drive way different than any other gallardo

[Roentgen]

Why is there a white line down middle of the car? Just... why??

Btw, I wonder where they got the picture from. I looked at the Lamborghini press site, and it isn't there... at least not yet.

that's a really good point. I didn't realize it until you pointed it out but that would make this the first rwd production car Lamborghini have produced since the Diablo. Maybe Lamborghini intend this model to have a lighter, racier, and more "dangerous" feel, similar to a Ferrari F430. But if they want to make a racier version of the base Gallardo, I can't understand why they would give it less power.

these article may be a little help about the details...
