    Here are the pictures and the text:

    Quote:
    These shots reveal the smallest open-top Lamborghini, the Gallardo Spider, undergoing final testing ahead of its official launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2005. Orders will be taken for the model from early next year, but insiders suggest that dozens have already been reserved by American dealers for their customers.

    Sadly, there's no room in the Spider's engine bay to squeeze a glass folding roof, so it makes do with a more compact fabric top. No more Lamborghini soft-tops with fiddly manual roofs though; the Spider's is a button-pressing, electro-hydraulic affair.

    The Gallardo coupe's 5.0-litre V10 has been up rated from 493bhp to 522bhp for the cabriolet, and will come with either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox, with Lamborghini's 'e-gear' semi-automatic shifter an option. Naturally, the Spider's aluminum space frame has been beefed up over the coupe so that handling isn't compromised by the lack of a fixed roof.

    A drive-by-wire throttle should make the transfer from coupe to drop-top Gallardo, and all-wheel drive will be standard.

    More good news for speed freaks is that the more powerful engine is to feature in a special edition Gallardo coupe called the Piton, which could match the more senior Mucielago super coupe's performance.

    Very nice - I'd have that over a 430 Spider anyday... wonder whether it'll cost less!
