I checked up with my dealer yesterday and boy oh boy does Lambo have some changes at hand.
All those people who have ordered the standard or previous gen Gallardo would now be getting the new LP560 and would of course have to pay more ( no option there, you'll get the LP 560 whether you like it or not!) ..
I am also told that all SL orders would be changed to LP orders as Lambo has discontinued the limited production car.
Btw,I read all this up as per the official docs provided by Lambo Italy to the dealer here in India. So most of the info is authentic.

Correct, the current Gallardo is no more and they are all going to be Gallardo LP560-4's from now on. You should see the first demo cars at dealers in the US by July and the first customer cars on the road should be around September-ish...

Thank you for posting the pictures and write-up on the LP560 Hovik. I’m assuming that the blue LED lights under the rear valence are simply for license plate illumination? Available for US market?
Is the (unfortunately non-US market) rear fog light that you mentioned the lower center red light with two blue LEDs off to the sides found around the 17 second – 41 second mark in the video? Example picture below:
Also, could it be that the Matte Pearlescent White model you saw was equipped with the “older” engine and not the new 560 bhp 5.2 Liter FSI Direct Injection engine?
Sorry so many questions…

what the hell?!? that's what the car sounds like stock?? Amazing regardless but I have to believe that's an aftermarket tubi or something. The looks are also a definite improvement over the current gallardo.

my latest edition of car & driver said the new gallardo will be priced right at 200k.
