Paris: 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo gets a new smile and restyled rear 1348748940
Lamborghini didn't bring the Gallardo Edizione Tecnica to the Paris Motor Show, intending for us to instead focus on the cosmetic changes made to the 2013 Gallardo LP560-4 Coupe and Spyder. We have to go back to a line we've had the pleasure of not using in a while: the revisions look better in person than they do in pixels. Even though the above photo ...

Official: Lamborghini releases 2013 Gallardo details 1348687980
A year away from seeing the 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo, the 2013 model gets a few more brushstrokes of color and style to do its blaze-of-glory thing.

Report: Lamborghini to present ultimate Gallardo at Frankfurt 1312932420
The Lamborghini Gallardo has been on the market now for the better part of a decade. Along the way, it has led to countless variants: some with roofs, some without, some with all-wheel drive, some with rear, some with as less than 500 horsepower and some with nearly 570.

Lamborghini Gallardo Bicolore edition debuts in Qatar 1296064680

The two-tone supercar follows the similar path of the Gallardo SE from 2006 with a high-contrast paint scheme: black ...

LA 2010: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante 1290057600
Lamborghini didn't commandeer a space at the LA Auto Show itself, preferring to host an exclusive gathering across town for the reveal of the Gallardo Spyder Performante. As usual, even though we're speaking of a subtly tweaked Gallardo Spyder whose finest revelations couldn't even be seen, it was worth the trip. The lightweight droptop sheds more than ...

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Performante will crash the party in LA 1290020280
Even though the Murcielago ended production earlier this month and its successor won't begin production for a while, Lamborghini has not been spending its time idly, and will prove that by introducing the Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante. Billed as "less weight, more fascination," the Spyder Performante is meant to take the 'regular' Gallardo Spyder ...

Paris Preview: Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Blancpain Edition 1285540320
Typically, when an automaker and a watchmaker team up, it's to spec out a special-edition watch. But Lamborghini and Blancpain have already done that.

The season just wrapped up at Vallelunga, where the two ...

Spy Shots: Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera Spyder caught testing? 1277832000
Obvious lengthy name jokes aside, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera is one heck of a performance machine. It's all about saving weight when it comes to this car ("Superleggera," after all, means "super light"), so it strikes us as something of a surprise to see this prototype of a Spyder version out testing on the Nürburgring. Most ...

Geneva 2010: Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera makes the hair on our chest stand up 1267548480
Unlike the great majority of things in life, the Lamborghini Gallardo just keeps getting better and better. And then better. First came the 2007 Superleggera and it was wonderful. One year later saw the introduction of the LP560-4 and it's safe to say that quite a few of us on staff here at Autoblog would choose it as our "lottery car." Then, while we ...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Veloce rendered ahead of Geneva debut 1262820480
Let's make one thing very clear from the onset. The images you see above are not official shots of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Veloce. They're renderings. Good renderings, mind you, but nothing more than photoshopped speculation. So with that out of the way... It's been assumed for months that Lamborghini would unveil a final special edition ...

According to the Lamborghini lovers at the Teamspeed Forums, there's a new, even higher-performance version of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 on the way to the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
