Lamborghini Gallardo SE Review
The Lamborghini
Gallardo SE is Lamborghini's limited special
edition of the Gallardo.
The Lamborghini Gallardo SE, which is
limited to 250 units, is characterized by a
two-tone body paint, an even more sporty
interior and technical improvement. The
basis for the Special Edition is the
extreme, uncompromising and unsurpassed
Lamborghini Gallardo.
The Lamborghini Gallardo SE is equipped with
a permanent 4WD, 6 speed gearbox, aluminum
space frame, ESP and ASR, ABS, ABD, air
conditioning, as well as two front and two
side airbags.
The color range consists of six
alternatives: two grey shades as well as
white (Balloon white), yellow (Giallo
Midas), Orange (Arancio Borealis) and green
(Verde Ithaca). The roof, the engine bonnet,
the front and rear spoiler as well as the
two side mirrors are painted in black (Nero
Noctis) making them stand out against the
body color. The rear lights are slightly
tinted. The newly designed “Callisto” rims
give an extra touch to the overall
appearance which is complemented by the
colored brake calipers (available in grey or
yellow).
The Lamborghini Gallardo SE Interior
The interior design sets forth the two-tone
concept by having all piping and stitching
matching the exterior body color of the car.
The Lamborghini shield is embossed on the
headrest of the driver and passenger seat.
The Lamborghini script is preciously
inserted into the dashboard. The carpets are
black having the borders again matching the
exterior body color of the car. Needless to
say that the entire interior is handcrafted
in leather partially perforated and of
supreme quality. The interior design
underlines the new, more aggressive
personality of this Special Edition.
Exclusively for the Lamborghini Gallardo SE:
an additional shield with the embossed
vehicle identification number.
Features and Technical Modifications
The limited Special Edition is richly
equipped with standard features such as a
rear view camera, which in combination with
the build in multimedia screen facilitates
parking. The sports suspensions with the
sports steering wheel and in combination
with the P Zero Corsa tire (specifically
developed by Pirelli for more ambitious
driving) are all standard features on the
Special Edition. The long list of standard
equipment comprises also an exclusive car
cover. Upon request a vast range of
additional equipment is available. A
customer can choose additionally the
robotized gearbox e.gear, as well as a
navigation system (depending on the
country), heated side mirrors, fully
electrical and heated seats. A winter
package (heated seats, side mirrors, heated
wash jets, rubber floor mats, 12 Volt
outlet), and a lifting system are also
available. Standard tires instead of sports
tires can be ordered without surcharge.
The Lamborghini Gallardo SE benefits from
several technical modifications:
The gearbox is now equipped with shorter
gear ratios in the first five gears,
enhancing the dynamic performance of the
vehicle. The result is also shown in the
acceleration from 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds
which improved by 0.2 seconds, achieving a
top speed of 196 mph versus 192 mph
previously. This is shown impressively on an
e.gear equipped car with a feature called
“thrust mode”, optimizing acceleration and
gear change from a standing start throughout
all gears.
The more direct and precise steering are
additional modifications carried out to
improve even more the superb handling of the
vehicle.
