Post Motor Trend - First Drive: 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder















"This button here activates the power top," said the friendly Italian technician, as we stood outside the Lamborghini factory, getting acquainted with the marque's newest Gallardo variant. "Press this to lower the rear window, which also acts as the wind blocker. The heated seats are here, this group of controls operates the nav system, and when you select Reverse, the backup camera is activated automatically."

Backup camera? Heated seats? IN A LAMBORGHINI? When I first began testing the hardware from Sant'Agata Bolognese (just north of Modena, Italy's famous Motor Valley), you'd be lucky if the engine fired three times in a row and then didn't overheat. The power windows may work, but if not, just turn on the A/C. Which may work. Or not. Times have SO changed.

I guaranty you guys that I will own this exact car in the not too distant future.

EDIT: Except I want white piping on the seats and non-painted wheels.

What style wheels do you like? The ones pictured, or the twisted 5-spoke (don't know the name)?

I absolutely love this car. Matte white pearl is simply amazing.
