Gallardo Drop-top Ups Ante
A more extreme version of the yet-to-be-launched Lamborghini Gallardo drop-top is in development, Auto Express has learned.
Inspired by the Murciélago Roadster the project has yet to get the go-ahead from company bosses. However, insiders tell us it's been proposed in response to the race-bred F360 Stradale from Ferrari.
There's also news on the standard Gallardo convertible, pictures of which were first seen in issue 758. It's expected to cost £120,000 and, as with the coupé, will sport a 500bhp, V10 engine and six-speed, semi-automatic gearbox.
Lamborghini has also revealed plans to build a limited run of road-going versions of the Murciélago R-GT competition car unveiled at last autumn's Frankfurt Motor Show. Collectors will get the chance to buy the supercar, which will vary little from the carbon-bodied racer. Ferrari's Enzo had better watch out!
We've also learned the Murciélago Roadster will star in the next Batman movie. But it's a closely guarded secret whether the Italian supercar will be in Bruce Wayne's extensive garage, or be the wheels of choice for Gotham City's latest arch-criminal.
