Deciding between a new LP-560, or a Superleggera
I have been looking into buying a Gallardo for a long time, and now that I am able to I do not know which would be a better car. I know the LP-560 has more horsepower but it is heavier than a Superleggera. I also know there have been improvements in the transmission between the LP-560 and the Superleggera. My question is if the LP-560 is worth the extra cost over the Superleggera?

One more question does the LP-560 come in grigio telesto?

Personally, I can't stand having the "older" model...so I would go with the LP560...I think the LP560 looks infinitely better than the Gallardo...

Just do what FredSF did and buy a Superleggera and put the LP560 bumper on it!

It does look good, and you can actually tune the engine for more horsepower in the Superleggera
