After some brief teasing, the new Lamborghini Gallardo, Lambo's most popular model, has landed. But it is more of a face lift than a complete overhaul. The engine, that gorgeous 5.2l V10 lump of metal, hasn't been touched. But the styling has been revised, with more triangles and sharper edges. The old Gallardo was striking enough, this new update just makes it even more hard-to-miss.
Lamborghini unveiled it at the Paris Motor Show. The company's main aim was to better differentiate between the different Gallardo models. The 560-4, which is equipped with four-wheel drive, in contrast to the 560-2, thus receives from new 19-inch wheels but especially two new front and rear fascias, who are flanked by more angular shapes, composed of triangles and trapezoids.
Added to this the air vents on the hood more generous, and to improve the Thermodynamics of the engine
.
But Gallardo 560-4 “base” is not the only one to be affected by this lifting. Indeed, the 570-4 Superleggera and its roadster, the Spyder performance declination, entitled they also to some news, gathered in a pack that responds on behalf of Edizione Tecnica.
There is among other things, a new fixed rear spoiler, new two-tone liveries (including a superb black and orange) that contrast the arches of the roof and front air intakes with the rest of the body, or even four carbon-ceramic disc brakes.
What's left to be seen is whether the refreshed Gallardo can take the fight to the bloody good Ferrari 458 Italia and the McLaren MP4-12C.
