Lamborghini unveils Gallardo Nera in Paris

Lamborghini has unveiled its new, exclusive model, the “Gallardo Nera”, based on the 2007 Gallardo coupe. This special edition model, limited to 185 units, is a showcase for the individualisation options offered by Lamborghini’s personalisation service “ad personam”, which makes each and every Lamborghini into a unique vehicle.

Ad personam provides a wealth of options for enhancing the interior and body of the vehicle according to specific personal tastes, for example special colour paintwork.

However the Lamborghini Gallardo Nera, much like the orginal Model T Ford, is available in any colour you like, as long as it is black - either “Nero Serapis” or “Nero Noctis”. Special paintwork in matt black on the side mirrors, rear spoiler, rear body panels, roof, selected front panels and on the door sills and rear apron complete the monochrome picture. Additional details such as matt black rims in the “Callisto” design with the Lamborghini logo, brake callipers in silver, white side indicator lenses and darkened tail lights complement the martial look of the exterior.

The interior is styled in the colours “Nero Perseus” and “Bianco Polar” using the “bicolour sportive” equipment variant. A further “Branding Package” and the ad personam equipment package provide additional distinctive touches. The “Leather II” variant in “Bianco Polar” includes leather trims for the climate control operating panel, handbrake and gear lever console in addition to the inner door handles and seat side cushions. The seats boast rhomboidal stitching in the “Q-citura” pattern, which can also be found on the Alcantara roof lining, door trims and the partition wall between the seats and the engine compartment. Instrument rings and decorative stitching on the steering wheel, plus white piping on the seats and mats, round off the modifications in the interior.

The Lamborghini Gallardo Nera includes, as standard, a navigation system, rearview camera, on-board computer, alarm system, lifting system and a made-to-measure vehicle cover. Optional equipment for the model includes the e-gear automatic transmission, an engine hood with transparent glass panels, a Bluetooth-compatible radio and carbon-ceramic brakes.

he Lamborghini Gallardo “Nera” shares the standard issue Gallardo 4961cc 382 kW (520 hp) V10-cylinder engine, so it can still get from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 315 kmh. The drive train of the mid-engine sports car includes permanent all-wheel drive, based on Lamborghini’s VT (viscous traction) system.
