The coupe and spyder versions of Lamborghini’s most successful model of all time enter the year 2007 with slight modifications. The serial production car’s enhancements include the steering wheel, flattened on the underside with partially galvanized areas; the galvanized instrument circles; the bespoke vehicle cover and skyroof in imitation leather (Coupe’).

The base colour “Marrone Janus” and contrasting colours such as “Bianco Polar” and “Azzurro Australis” (also Spyder) are now available ias colour options for the interior.

Two are the new items for the Coupe: carpets coloured in dark brown, orange and red, and the Interior Unicolor sportive.

Furthermore there are available the following options for the MY2007 Gallardo: Alcantara roof lining and Alcantara pillers, small interior carbon package, steering wheel in suede or perforated leather.

The most significant change can, however, be found in the brakes: for the first time, the highly efficient carbon ceramic braking system, which is already available for the Lamborghini Murcielago, is now offered as an optional feature on the Gallardo range. For extremely high brake performance requirements, on request the vehicle can be equipped with carbon ceramic brakes measuring 380 mm x 36 mm with six piston brake calipers, which reduce the rake pedal pressure and shorten the braking distance. With the standard steel brakes already producing first class performance, the optional carbon ceramic brakes provide absolute insensitiveness to fading. Further advantages are brought by a considerable reduction in weight and greater durability, in addition to the brakes’ attractive aesthetic appearance.
