Question Gallardo LP 550-2

Is this headed production or a one off wishful thinker?

Ditch the stripe and add the one-piece CF buckets and that thing is gold (both literally and figuratively)!

Looks cheap, the 560-4 looks more elegant and refined.

This seems to be Lamborghini press photos. There were mentioned in Lamborghini press section about this model launch. So I guess these pics are actual press photos of an actual car.

Here are some facts:

RWD
Slightly detuned engine 550 PS
0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds
30 kg weight reduction
10% price reduction
Full options only
Special white livery
8 exterior color to choose from
Limited series of 250 cars


RWD and stick - looks and sounds delicious.

I'm still a bit confused. Is this the final model of the Gallardo or are they gonna make a Superleggera version later on too? To me it seems they are missing out on a great opportunity if they don't make a light weight track verision of the epic LP560.

Is that the superleggera version of the current lp 560-4 ?, or just some limited edition car to help boost sales to get rid of extra inventory, because why would you want to get that if the lp 560-4 is faster ??
