There are a few for sale on Dupont Registry. Hopefully one will end up on the 6.
I just can't get over the wing, wheels, and stripe. Wheels can be changed some SDS, stripe I can live with, but the wing... Ugh.

Before you buy one, keep in mind that superlaggera has been getting very poor reviews from auto publications. According to one review:
"... brake pedal, which is quite the nastiest, snathiest thing I've ever experience on a high performance car. Then there's the slightly clunky transmission, the stodgy steering, and the general feeling of weightiness. THe one thing it doesn't feel is superlagerra or indeed, much of a step up from a regular gallardo". (EVO car of the year 2007)
It even finished below Honda Civic Type-R and Audo R8! C&D review complained about similar problems:"This spiced-up Gallardo has flashy electric-yellow paint and an intoxicating engine scream, but in nearly 27 years at this magazine, I’ve never pressed on a touchier, less predictable brake pedal. You squeeze your foot, and nothing happens; press a little harder, still nothing; then suddenly, you’re hanging from your seatbelt. And when you try downshifting while braking, the whole car convulses as the e-gear blips the revs while the clutch is still engaged. The Superleggera is intended as a track car, but no competent race car feels like this." (C&D Gallardo Superlaggera review)
I would highly recommend an 06+ gallardo SE instead of superlaggera... looks like its not worth the extra $$$ at all and Lamborghini made some major mistakes in designing this car (especially the brakes).

all SL's get reg seats due to US side impact laws. Same for the AM DBS, Gt3 etc.

seriously? so is that why the LP's here dont have the racing seats? are racing seats unsafe in accidents? can you put them in after you buy the car? never knew this...

The issue w/ the brakes has to do w/ the ceramic brakes. They react just like your description from the articles. The steel brakes have great pedal feel similar to a Porsche TT.

There has to be more to it than that. In the same article, they had a Porsche GT3RS, also with ceramic brakes and it ended up winning the "2007 car of the year" shootout. Porsche's ceramic brakes have received nothing but positive feedback...

The guy who did the review on the SL probably has no idea what he is talking about. I own a SL and I can tell you it is one of the best cars I have ever owned. The is nothing wrong with the brakes. In fact the ceramic brakes are incredible.The guy who reviewed it must have a Cadillac for his everyday car. Everytime I take the car out I have a ****faced grin on my face. The car is a rocketship and the handling is a good as any car I have driven. Trust me if you get a chance to drive one you will love it .Everyone on Lambo Power who has driven one had only good things to say about it!!!
