Lamborghini Gallardo Special Edition officially announced

We actually got wind of the Lamborghini Gallardo Special Edition a week or so ago thanks to Shinkaze whose forum had pics of the car already posted on Lamborghini's website. Yesterday all of the major auto sites erupted with the news of the Gallardo SE thanks to a press release that was officially distributed by the Italian supercar builder.

Here's the lowdown on the SE:
-    Only 250 will be made
-    $170,000
-    Shorter gear ratios
-    An extra 20 hp
-    .2 seconds less 0-60 at 4.0 seconds flat
-    195 mph top speed
-    Optional e.gear paddle shift transmission with "thrust mode"
-    Rearview camera with multimedia screen
-    Six exterior colors with roof, engine cover, front and rear spoilers painted black
-    New "Callisto" rims

Instead of linking you to one of the more popular automotive websites that will just reword the press release, we'll send you to SeriousWheels.com where you can read the press release verbatim and pick up ultra-high res images of the new Gallardo SE. Can you guess what my new desktop wallpaper is?
