Gallardo LP550-2, but no Balboni

Does anyone know something about a normal Gallardo with RWD, but no Balboni Edition?

I found this on the interweb (on Drivr.be)

So paying the premium for the Balboni was almost pointless?

Yes, only difference is the stripe and interior. According to my dealer the engine in both this (and the Balboni) are not even detuned, they are identical to the one in the LP560-4.

MY11 Gallardo LP550-2. Not a Balboni, lower price than LP560-4, really an entry level car this time. Also there will be LP560-4 Bicolore for MY11, same idea as SE edition of Gallardo. And yes, you're absolutely right Mike, Balboni was pointless, here is same RWD fun for less money and availability to choose ext/int colors for your own likes.

Here are few pics I have found:
