Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 Spyder

If you built outrageously fast Italian sports cars, how would you improve on your most popular model ever? Make it faster, of course, and then open it up. And that's exactly what Lamborghini did with the Gallardo LP560 Spyder

The LP560 Spyder starts with a bigger version of Lamborghini's V10, and then adds a sophisticated direct injection fueling system for even more kick. Peak output from the 5.2-liter engine jumps to 560 horsepower. And because the LP560 lost a little weight in the process, it's significantly faster than the original Gallardo Spyder.

What Lamborghini didn't mess with was the rest of the Gallardo's magic. The V10 still makes magical sounds, especially under full throttle. The six-speed E-gear transmission still makes you look like a hero, rev-matching your downshifts and popping off perfectly executed upshifts. All-wheel drive still ensures each tire gets as much power as it can handle for an always-clean getaway no matter the conditions.

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 Spyder is the definition of “a blast” to drive on the open road. It's equally comfortable devouring highway miles in surprising-for-a-supercar comfort, or carving up those winding roads less taken. Steering and brakes feel like physical extensions of your mind, reacting instantly and precisely to your commands.

Trimmed in leather and carbon fiber the interior of the LP560 is equal parts luxury and sport. Sumptuous leather sport seats fit like a glove, but they're also power operated for comfort. The appointment list is a far cry from the sparse Italian sports cars of old, with dual-zone climate control, navigation system, satellite radio, and iPod integration making the ride as enjoyable as the journey.
