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).
