La Dolce Veloce

As previously reported here, Lamborghini is set to release a new, limited edition version of its Gallardo, to be called the Gallardo SE (shipping in September). Only 250 units will be produced, all with permanent all wheel drive, 6 speed gearbox, aluminum frame, ESp, ASR, ABS, ABD (brake distribution), AC, airbags, etc etc. Color options are two different shades of gray, white, yellow, orange, or green (all of which with a black roof and black engine cover). A sportier suspension is standard, as is a shorter ratio gearbox. Cars equipped with Lamborghini’s paddle shifter transmission (known as e.gear) get a feature known as ‘thrust mode’, which optimizes engine and transmission parameters from a standing start to maximize acceleration. Gotta love that! Those owners who are brave (or stupid) enough to parallel park their Gallardo SE (and risk damage, especially to the low front end, from SUVs ‘parking by braille’) will benefit from the standard rear view camera, as the view from the mirrors is sure to rank up (down) there with other supercars. Optional equipment includes a nav system, heated side mirrors, powered and heated seats, a winter package, and a lifting system for those with steep driveway approach angles. See the rest of this post for more pictures, or read the article at ItaliaSpeed for more information.
