    The Balloon White Gallardo thread (56K)

    Hello and Happy Holidays!

    I just ordered a new Balloon White Gallardo coupe!


    Balloon White paint




    Black leather with orange stitching

    Manual transmission




    For paint, I chose Balloon White. Among sportscars, pearl white is growing in popularity. After seeing Lambo's Balloon White pearl paint, I can see why. Balloon White is a stunning pearl white tri-coat with some pearl blue. It has a sense of depth, and where light shines on it, the hue changes from pearl white to an intriguing pearl blue. When I saw this color, I just had to have it! It's bold, intriguing, and classy at the same time.

    For leather, I chose black leather with orange stitching. Since the exterior is Balloon White, the dark leather helps in visually "grounding" the car. The orange stitching provides a hint of visual contrast.

    For transmission, I chose the 6-speed gated manual. Lambo's manual is just simply one of the best manual transmissions I've ever driven.

    And now for the wait ...

    Balloon White Gallardo stealing the spotlight at a BMW X-drive event. I guess Lambo AWD > BMW X-drive?








    Balloon White Gallardo stealing the spotlight at a Ferrari dealership. Even the manager inside the dealership is staring at the Balloon White Gallardo parked outside.






    In some parts of Korea and Japan, white is considered a sacred color in its relation to the sacred cherry-blossom tree and its white-petaled flowers.

    Happy holidays to you and everyone on this forum.

    Balloon White - stunning color!

    Black leather, orange stitching - smart combo!

    Manual transmission - should be fun!

    Enjoy in good health.

    Congratulations and welcome to RENNTEAM!

    Although I see too many white cars around my town by now, balloon white is different -- a great color and suits the edgy Gallo very well. Makes it look light and fragile, yet very potent.

    Good choice.

    Re: The Balloon White Gallardo thread (56K)

    Thanks for positing... Some great pics there
    Think you have chosen the right color there.. Saw it myself at a carshow a few months back and it was stunning with the gunmetal grey alloys...

    I had thought that the lambo alloys were stunning but have to say that those SDS alloys look fantastic on the car and If I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a G those would be at the top of my list of extras

    Great choice on motor and welcome to rennteam

    Re: The Balloon White Gallardo thread (56K)

    Just thought I'd let you know ...

    I changed my interior specification a bit ... to this:

    Black leather with orange alcantara

    Manual transmission



    Surprisingly, balloon white exterior with black/orange interior works very well.

    Re: The Balloon White Gallardo thread (56K)

    congrats for your order, balloon white is the best current lambo color IMO. i am not a fan of orange interior over white exterior. i would personally go for bi color sportivo black and white interior. i posted pics a month ago, make a search on rennteam you will find a lot of interior photos.
