Re: Gallardo Facelift
I was told by my dealer to expect a power hike of between 10 and 15% which is pretty substantial. According to an interview given by the head of development at Audi, Ulrich Hackenberg, the R8 will donate its rear suspension and a number of other unspecified components to the Gallardo as part of the face-lift.

How many FL will follow? The Gallardo already had far too many FL. Now, another one
Lamborghini has a bad reputation: your car will be old as soon as you picked it up from the dealer... Not for me, thanks
Well, with 15% extra power, I wouldn't complain
. I wonder how fast it will be, with 580-610 bhp

Markus,
Basically you are wrong. Gallardo did not have any facelift, just engine and gearbox upgrade from MY2006. Interior changes were pretty minor-just different inlays on steering wheel.
Gallardo SE and NERA were just limiting editions... NOT a facelifted models...
In Geneva we will see first true facelift(both minor changes to the exterior and mechanical upgrade).

I think these numbers are too high. Not enough room for the Murciélago then. With the stronger version of the R8 with around 500hp, I expect the Gallardo to get something like 560hp.
Was told that the FL will be out next year after the Geneva show as a MY09 sept deliveries, power increase won't be that much 530hp as in the SL. changes will be made to the rear and front lights, fascia switches will be completely from A8 switches to AUDI specific switches. I'm sure DFI will be a must

I see. Obviously the horse power war comes to an end finally. Ferrari plans the same, by keeping the current power output but making their cars more lightweight.

With 600hp it would be faster than the Murcielago... Thus, simple conclusion: the current Gallardo will never get that much hp

Good joke my friend
First version with some 500hp (based on memory).
Second version with 520hp.
Third version: Superleggera.
Fourth version: FL...
Nothing unusual for Lamborghini, though. Same problem with Diablo, Murcielago etc.
Consequently, the residual values of these cars is very bad. I mean, who wants to own a Superleggera in some months when another FL will have been launched? Even now these cars are available in large quantities. You basically go to your dealer and get a Superleggera within 4 weeks

Why not, if the Murcielago SV is on the horizon ?

The SV will be a limited edition, based on what I heard

Yes, but Lamborghini has so many limited/special editions of their cars, it's almost hackneyed.
Re: Gallardo Facelift
That was always same Lamborghini since old days. As usual
Countach S
Countach LP400
Countach LP500SS
Countach DD
etc
Diablo
Diablo GT/GT-R
Diablo SV
Diablo Jota
Diablo Gandini's cousin's 25th year marriage anniversary bla bla
Murcie
Murcie 25 or 30th anniversay with crap green blue color
LP640
Deep not: Some of Murcie owners say that old 2002-03 Murcies are slightly faster than 2004 ones. Dunno why??
And..
Gallardo didnt have any facelift since built as Kreso mentioned it was an improvement on engine and tranny
SL is different story it is the hardcore version of the car
NERA imo it was unnecessary but there are many regular Gallardos look like Nera's
SE the best imo that black roof was the best think on G
And new G
Yes it is the right time with %10 gain and %10 reduce weight
Countach S
Countach LP400
Countach LP500SS
Countach DD
etc

would the Superleggera get the 10% power bump too? just imagine, a car that weighs the same as an F430 but has the power of a Murcielago! DAMN!
No, I don't think they will increase the power of the SL in order not to upset current owners. i guess it's too soon.
