Lamborghini releases 2008 model year changes

It's not as if Lamborghini has to make its products any more enticing, but the bull-badged fantasy folks are doing just that, making a few substantive changes to both the Gallardo and Murcielago LP640.
For the Gallardo, Lamborghini will be adding an onboard computer, iPod connectivity with USB, heated mirrors, along with Q-citura stitching that originally could only be found on the Nera model, as well as a beige soft-top on the Spyder.
The Murcie will also get the iPod connection and USB port, along with sat-nav, perforated leather steering wheel (accompanied by carbon weave) and the option of having the roof of the Roadster painted either dark blue, grey or black.
Get your orders in now, as Lamborghini has also extended its warranty coverage for three-years with unlimited miles.

PRESS RELEASE
Automobili Lamborghini has announced its 2008 model year Gallardo and Murciélago LP640 models. The Lamborghini Murciélago will now come with a three-year warranty, in line with the three-year warranty already offered in the UK on Lamborghini Gallardo models. The unlimited mileage warranty will now be standard across all markets, reflecting the high level of manufacturing qualities found in Lamborghini cars. The Gallardo MY08 now offers the following additional standard equipment: onboard computer, heated mirrors, and USB connection under the front bonnet in place of the CD loader as a no-cost option.
The list of Gallardo optional equipment has also been enhanced. A new soft-top colour – beige – will become available for the Gallardo Spyder, plus i-Pod preparation/connection can be provided in the glove compartment.
Within the interiors options range, the special Q-citura upholstery stitching has now become an option across the Gallardo range, following the success of this stitching in the seat centres, door panels and dashboard of the Murciélago LP640 and the Gallardo Nera limited edition.
For the Murciélago LP640, the MY08 is anticipated with i-Pod preparation or a USB interface as new options, with CD loader still available as standard equipment but also available with a satellite navigation system.
Other options offered include the steering wheel in perforated leather across all models, and two new choices of dark blue and grey colours for the soft-top of the Murciélago LP640 Roadster.
Other options for the LP640 include an additional set of winter tyres, and enhancement of the carbon kit with the carbon weave on the lower part of the steering wheel and on the gear levers (e-gear version).

Porsche must be quite upset about the in house competition from Lamborghini.

Three years unlimited milage.
So in reality that is like 3 years 3000 miles (maybe)

Gallardo is such a nice looking car.
I think I prefer it over the Murcielago.

oh be quiet, it's not like it's a porker anyway, im sure it can take the extra 2 kilos, if not does that mean there's going to be a weight limit on the people they allow to buy them? because i'm pretty damn sure the extra weight is a lot less than the difference between a skinny rich person buying one and a fat rich person buying one
some people infuriate me with their ignorance

Doesn't matter...old overweight businessmen who have never and will never take a car on a track buy these...hence the iPod, heated this, leather that, etc....

I just say that because they add all these features that add weight, but (AFAIK because I'm no Lambo owner) there's no weight-reduction options or packages from the factory. How about a Lambo I don't have to rip upholstery and electronics out of to get the best performance? Some people don't need creature comforts and just want the most intense driving experience possible... but I guess those people either own a Lotus or Koenigsegg...

there is nothing wrong with a standard Gallardo, but the Superleggera simply rocks!

Yaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooo.... I'm getting me a Lambo and taking some cross country treks. I might even drive down to Brazil with it.
