The Los Angeles Auto Show in the year 2006. brought the presentation of the new Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. It has been introduced as a completely new model, not just as a version of coupe, but a model that is different by both its design and mechanical qualities. The soft fabric roof can be opened and closed and when closed the roof is stored in the engine compartment. The whole process of opening the roof is just 20 seconds flat, as there are new and improved electro hydraulic actuators that are electrically controlled. The screen in the rear moves automatically when the roof is being opened or closed.
The engine has also been modified and it now has the power of 520 bph at 8000 rpm. There is the permanent 4-wheel drive, combined with the 6-speed gearbox, which has another new feature and that is lower ratios which in turn give Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder more dynamic performance.
The designers have also recalibrated the suspension, as well as made the steering wheel more precise, while the bodywork of the car is aluminum.
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder can accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h at mere 4,3 seconds, but also it can reach astonishing speeds, with the roof down the speed is 307km/h, while with the roof up the speed is 314 km/h. And while Lamborghini Murcielago might have a more extreme design, the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is unique with its mono volume proportions as well as the cockpit, which is integrated within the body of the car with the tensed pillars and slanted front glass. The price for the Lamborghini Gallado Spyder is estimated around 195.000 dollars.
