From my understanding, many of them (Gallardo's 05+(?), and murcies) have a nose-lift system in which the front can be raised to provide clearance for driveways, speedbumps etc. As far as potholes go, I think most do as almost everyone else with an exotic/ other low car does: do your damnest to avoid those f*ckers.

Avoid bad roads, and if I do encounter them slow down and go over the bumps at an angle and hope you dont drag the middle..and my skid plates work well!

x2, I have seen some unfortunate events when the driver did not use the nose lift. When lifted you do have a good clearance, I have driven a few Lambos where I use that feature to get up inclines and it works great. And for potholes all I have to say is look out.

I bought mine on ebay but they are very similar to these, the plastic material ones seem to hold up good..ive had metal ones on my Ferrari's and they made a lot of noise...these are deeper and protect the front spoiler better i think...just my 2c
