My impressions of the LP560-4 with pictures and a video of it revving!

Gotta thank somebody for the opportunity, you know who you are!

The car looks SICK in person. The matte finish didn't impress me and I'm not sure about it being a popular color choice considering how hard/impossible it would be to take care of the paint.
The front is AWESOME! Mini Reventon! Angry and stealthy look. The headlights are a GREAT improvement! I know for some they look like regular Gallardo headlights with eyebrows, but not the case in person. Matches the front very well!
The rear is also very nice. I had doubts when I saw the first pictures, but in person it looks incredible. The 4 exhaust pipes also look great.
The rear fog light looks cool, but from what I know it's not going to be an available option for US market. New engine bay look is to die for!
The new switches inside look cool, and they use SL type of #ing on the guages, but they're made a little bigger/easier to read.
Overall I gotta say that this is the case of the LP640. The Gallardos are incredible looking cars and this is just an updated look. I don't see current Gallardo owners going nuts over this car and digging into their retirement funds to upgrade. It's a SICK car and I'm sure will be a hit just like the Gallardo!
I don't know any other car manufacturer right now that comes anywhere close to Lamborghini's styling... they really own! Good work and keep it up!

Now to the exhaust...
Maybe because we were in a closed warehouse, or the car was cold, but it didn't sound as good as a Superleggera. I took a video of a Superleggera launching will post that in a few also...

Nice writeup Hovik.

Do you know if that's a production model or pre production one?

Thanks

I can't say for sure, but I think it's the first one made - euro model.

The pictures and the video have a gray spyder next to the white LP560. By any chance is that a new car? I haven't seen any pictures of a spyder yet. It would be interesting to see if they found a way to make a glass engine bonnet on the new spyders.

Yes it is a grey spyder, no it doesn't have clear engine bonnet and that's not an available option for Spyders. Don't have any more pictures of it, just a regular Gallardo spyder.
