LA 2008: Lamborghini unveiling Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder

While Lamoborghini's press conference at the LA Auto Show today doesn't begin until later this afternoon, we can at least show you what the Italians will have on display. Meet the Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder, a natural evolution of the closed-top, mid-engine car with a soft-top mechanism to keep the rain and sun from sullying the Italian-crafted interior. We don't have much information on the 560-4 Spyder yet, except that the new soft-top will open and close in 20 seconds, we love those new wheels and the car's mechanicals will be identical to the standard car. That means the 5.2L V10 still produces 560 hp and this thing will go like a bat, or a bull perhaps, out of hell.

I'd take this over a California or a 430 Spider anyday. Can't imagine how amazing it would be to hear that engine with the top down in a tunnel. (with no cops)

Lamborghinis aren't really my thing, but this looks so beautiful.

Of course it's beautiful. For 200 grand it goddamned well ought to be beautiful.

Oh man I love this car especially without a top. I also like the new design of the rims(not overdone unlike previous Lamborghinis rim designs IMO)...too bad the set probably cost more than my entire car.

Santa feel free to get me this Lamborghini or atleast those rims for Christmas I've been a good boy this year and have never recieved a ticket...
Wishful thinking FTL.

I really like it!
However, I am sick of Gallardo/Murcielago variants

Those "new wheels" are the same as the LP560 coupe.
