    Gallardo Spider first pics!!

    Thanks to our friends at Lambo-Power!

    The Gallardo Spider is dead gorgeous! It has the Murcielago Roadster looks minus its impracticality (manual roof).

    Re: Gallardo Spider first pics!!

    does the gallardo still have a targa top or is it a auto-retracting soft top?!?

    Nice to see Lamborghini finally going away from a variation of the " phone dial " wheels of the past 25 years .
    Has this model incorporated a bit of mid-term cosmetic updating ? It seems from these profile pics that the car is less severely " angular " on the front and rear caps .

    The optional glass engine cover would be a must for this drop top .

    Auto retracting soft top, takes about 15 seconds.
    The engine cover is different and opens like a Murcie and not like a hardtop Gallardo..

    I really like how the Gallardo Spider has that 'clean' look like the 355 Spider, I think the 360 Spider has rather too busy lines here and there..

    And while at it, I also like how the Gallardo retains the flying butresses from the 355 Berlinetta, not found in the 360/430..

    Thanks shin . I knew that even though they said nobody could take any pictures (in the link below), someone had to have a way of doing it .

    According to the latest CAR magazine the Spider will not get the engine upgrade since they would have to rush the engine through homologation to achieve that. The Spider will recieve the new 5.2l engine when it's time for the Gallardo face-lift.

    The car looks stunning BTW

    I read a rumor (sorry forgot the source and Google isn't too friendly in finding it back) that one buyer actually canceled his order for a Gallardo Spider after seeing the car, because he judged that the roofline was so low your head would be sticking out if you're 6 feet or taller.
