Lamborghini Gallardo Privilegio only for the privileged few
As if Lamborghinis weren't exclusive enough, the Bolgna-based Italian automaker is releasing a new limited edition model of the Gallardo called the Privilegio, which we're guessing in Italian means we still can't afford it. The Privilegio is based on your garden variety Gallardo but features some trick color combos that Lamborghini hopes will highlight the customization options of the car.
The Privilegio's exterior features contrasting panels painted in either Nero Noctis (shiny black) or matte black. The Callisto alloy wheels are also finished in black. Meanwhile the interior looks as if it were upholstered in panda skin with white and black leather being liberally applied. Italiaspeed pegs the price of the Gallardo Privilegio, of which only 150 will be built, to be about 19-percent above the MSRP of a standard Gallardo.
Pics of the interior can be found after the jump...

I don't know about white seat bottoms in a car whose speed would scare the crap out of any sane driver. Hopefully, they're easily cleaned.

There comes a point where you push outrageous coolness into a cartoonish spoof of outrageous coolness. This is a good example, it looks ridiculous.

I don't know...I'm getting old I guess, all I can think of looking at these pictures is; "A fool and his money are soon parted."
How's this different than marketing a gold package & vinyl roof on a Cadillac Deville?

Hey, why not just paint the thing entierly in flat black, maybe using the actual paint from the stealth bomber... Ok thats just me dreaming and not wanting to get a ticket in that thing!

The big question is, where is the grocery cargo net?

#3, I think you are onto something. Ferrari F430 Mondena with a gold package and fake vinyl roof! Charge $11,600 as a option for it!
Brilliant!

#3 you hit it bang on. It's just a clever marketing ploy. Special colors and themes... too bad I'll never own this car. Then again, I don't think I could handle this car, it's just too damn fast for my own good. :)

Wow, I swear I've seen that interior in a Lowrider magazine. Those look like cheap Catzkin seat wraps people put in Civics.

I like the outside of the car but those white seats are not for me!

It's amusing to see something that's so beautiful on the outside can be so ugly on the inside.

i love the gallardo... i hate this. the contrasting panels look like the car was built from the scrapyard... especially the matte painted ones, they look rough and unfinished, like the forgot to apply a coupla layers of paint. lame-o.

Yes, sir, you are Privilegio, but you're still not good enough for a Murcielago.

I have to admit that the interior of this car is not the best looking. I think the white panels will get very gruby and dirty quickly. But then the god folfs at Lambo are not famed for their practical thinking.

The Gallardo is undoubtedly one of the finest luxury sports cars on the market. I saved like a bitch to get one. The Privilegio is an atrocity. This looks like the aftermath of a dashingly gorgeous woman at her first photoshoot after spending a week doing heroine in a Mottley Crew whore house. Just wrong. Just wrong.

the exteriors' like the nera, and the interior like the murcielago. i agree the interior is cheap
looking.
i only have two cars, and that would be a prius and a ferrari f430. i drive the ferrari barely twice a week though.
