The
Italian sportscar manufacturer presents a limited special edition of
its successful sportscar: the Lamborghini Gallardo SE. The Lamborghini
Gallardo SE (Special Edition) which is limited to 250 units is
characterized by a two-tone body paint, an even more sporty interior and
technical improvement. The basis for the Special Edition is the
extreme, uncompromising and unsurpassed Lamborghini Gallardo. The
Lamborghini Gallardo SE is equipped with a permanent 4WD, 6 speed
gearbox, aluminum space frame, ESP and ASR, ABS, ABD, air conditioning,
as well as two front and two side airbags.
The color range consists of six
alternatives: two grey shades as well as white (Balloon white), yellow
(Giallo Midas), Orange (Arancio Borealis) and green (Verde Ithaca). The
roof, the engine bonnet, the front and rear spoiler as well as the two
side mirrors are painted in black (Nero Noctis) making them stand out
against the body color. The rear lights are slightly tinted. The newly
designed “Callisto” rims give an extra touch to the overall appearance
which is complemented by the colored brake calipers (available in grey
or yellow).
The interior design sets forth the two-tone concept by having all piping and stitching matching the exterior body color of the car. The Lamborghini shield is embossed on the headrest of the driver and passenger seat. The Lamborghini script is preciously inserted into the dashboard. The carpets are black having the borders again matching the exterior body color of the car. Needless to say that the entire interior is handcrafted in leather partially perforated and of supreme quality. The interior design underlines the new, more aggressive personality of this Special Edition. Exclusively for the Lamborghini Gallardo SE: an additional shield with the embossed vehicle identification number.

The
limited Special Edition is richly equipped with standard features such
as a rear view camera, which in combination with the build in multimedia
screen facilitates parking. The sports suspensions with the sports
steering wheel and in combination with the P Zero Corsa tire
(specifically developed by Pirelli for more ambitious driving) are all
standard features on the Special Edition. The long list of standard
equipment comprises also an exclusive car cover. Upon request a vast
range of additional equipment is available. A customer can choose
additionally the robotized gearbox e.gear, as well as a navigation
system (depending on the country), heated side mirrors, fully electrical
and heated seats. A winter package (heated seats, side mirrors, heated
wash jets, rubber floor mats, 12 Volt outlet), and a lifting system are
also available. Standard tires instead of sports tires can be ordered
without surcharge.
The
Gallardo SE benefits from several technical modifications: The gearbox
is now equipped with shorter gear ratios in the first five gears,
enhancing the dynamic performance of the vehicle. The result is also
shown in the acceleration from 0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds which improved
by 0.2 seconds, achieving a top speed of 315 km/h versus 309 km/h
previously. This is shown impressively on an e.gear equipped car with a
feature called “thrust mode”, optimizing acceleration and gear change
from a standing start throughout all gears. The more direct and precise
steering are additional modifications carried out to improve even more
the superb handling of the vehicle.
The Gallardo SE will be available from September onwards. In Europe
it will be available at a list price of € 141.500, — excl.VAT.
