Top 5 Lamborghini Gallardo Special Editions
Below is a list of the top 5 Lamborghini Gallardo Special Editions ever produced. The Gallardo is Lamborghini’s best selling model with 14,022 units built between 2003-2013.
5. 2010 LP550-2 Valentino Balboni
It’s hard to find an exotic car fan who isn’t in someway charmed by the first rear-wheel drive Gallardo. Named after a man we can all envy, former official Lambo test driver Valentino Balboni, the introduction of the LP550-2 Valentino Balboni set the precedent for all future rear-drive Gallardos to make their way into the model lineup, primarily as entry-level offerings.
The LP550-2 Valentino Balboni was limited to just 250 examples and is easily identifiable by its two-tone, body-length racing stripe, the bulk of which is Polar White highlighted by a small strip of gold.
4. 2006 Gallardo SE
The Gallardo SE featured many of the improvements that would be implemented in all Gallardo models beginning with the model year 2006, including a 13-hp increase in power, a sportier exhaust system, a new steering rack and revised gear ratios.
But besides offering improved driving manners, the Gallardo SE should be noted for holding its own as the first true limited-edition Gallardo. Featuring a gloss black roof, side mirrors and engine cover applied against a contrasting body color to create a bold, two-tone exterior color scheme — a theme reflected in the interior — the Gallardo SE had just the right amount of special attention added to deserve the “SE” designation, without being overly ambitious.
3. 2013-2014 Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante Edizione Tecnica
The magnum opus of the convertible Gallardos, the Spyder Performante Edizione Tecnica started with the lightweight, carbon-fiber intensive base of the Superleggera, ditched its roof and also received a fixed carbon-fiber rear wing and carbon ceramic brakes.
Like the LP560-4 Spyder Performante introduced in 2011, the SP Edizione Tecnica features a body-length dual racing stripe, as well as three Italian tricolor “Y” shaped decals on the engine cover. Its MSRP was just shy of $300,000.
2. 2013-2014 Gallardo LP560-2 50° Anniversario (50th Anniversary Edition)
Lamborghini forum members are in agreement: This will be the most sought after Gallardo in years to come.
Available only with a manual transmission and in one color, Bianco Opalis (shimmering white metallic), the 50th Anniversario is believed to be limited to 100 units only — and is touted to stand as the purest example of Lamborghini’s best-ever selling model.
Visual cues include dark grey “Scorpius” wheels and a fixed carbon-fiber rear wing, covered in a clear lacquer finish to keep the weave visible.
1. 2014 LP570-4 Squadra Corse
Essentially a street-legal version of the Gallardo Super Trofeo, Lamborghini’s race-spec Gallardo from their one-make Blancpain series, the LP570-4 Squadra Corse earns top honors on this list for its racing pedigree and dumbfounding boy-racer good-looks.
Borrowing an assortment of parts from the Super Trofeo including its massive carbon-fiber rear wing and carbon-fiber rear engine cover, the Squadra Corse manages to stay just under 3,000lbs. dry, a 154lbs. savings from the LP560-4. And as much as it looks like a race car on the outside, the effect is further accentuated in the cabin on which every surface is finished in either Alcantara or carbon fiber.
