New Version of Gallardo - Page 3

I called my lambo dealer, and he has no clue to the upgrades to the gallardo or Murcielago, come to think of it, he never has a clue...who do I believe, or is it time to look for a new dealer?

With the power increase, there should also be a price increase also(IMO).

May I ask, is straight line speed really that important? Of course, it takes skills to shift gear fast and may be using the clutch more efficiently; but I still think knowing how to drive a car fast in corners requires more skills, in my opinion. To me, 500HP or 600HP just does not seem that much different to me because I won't have many chances to really use the full potiential of the car unless I go to the track.

Paul you mentioned that in 2005 the G will have it, but is that model year 2005 or manufacturing year 2005? I always get confused with those two terms. Like in the US the next model year cars normally get delivered in late fall/winter of the current year.. except Ferrari from what i hear.

What I meant, was some time duriing 2005, they are going to have this kind of upgrades. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I hope I cleared it up.

There will be an SV Version of the Gallardo with 550bhp, not more and nothing else...

Yes in HONG KONG you are probably right but not here. 100 HP big difference!

You are absolutely right. Hong Kong is just a small place with no roads to run a Lamborghini in a straight line.
