2006 Lamborghini Gallardo SE

The Italian sportscar manufacturer presents
a limited special edition of its successful sportscar: the
Lamborghini Gallardo SE.
The Lamborghini Gallardo SE (Special Edition) 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 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.
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 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 0-100km/h in 4.0
seconds which improved by 0.2 seconds, achieving a top speed of 315
km/h versus 309 km/h 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.
The Gallardo SE will be available from September onwards.
