What does it cost?
For This is effectively the equivalent Spyder to the Superleggera - with a more powerful engine, as well as a few weight-saving tweaks that translate into a super-fast drop-top supercar that drives superbly.
Against The suspension is very stiff at town speeds, and as on any Gallardo, the rear visibility is poor and it's hard to judge where the car's nose ends.

It's debatable whether this is worth the extra over the regular car, but there's no doubt it's a fantastically dramatic car.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
When asked to think of a supercar, chances are that most people will conjure up the image of a Lamborghini. In fact, we'd almost wager that, if you look up 'supercar' in a dictionary, it will say, 'see Lamborghini'. The Gallardo really is everything a supercar should be: astonishing to look at and amazing to drive.
Beyond the choice between coupe and open-top, there's not much to worry about - well, we're assuming that, if you can even consider buying a Gallardo, you can afford its sky-high running costs.
There's only one engine and trim, but if you want to avoid the almost inevitable waiting list, ask the dealer if there are any cancelled orders. Or, try shopping around specialists who may be able to get you into a Lambo more quickly – albeit probably for a premium.

There are better supercars out there, but there’s no denying the drama that the Gallardo gives you. In Spyder form, everyone can see you driving, too.
