When can I get a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder?
The 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder will arrive in the United States in spring, 2006, just in time for warm summer weather. Unfortunately, it is virtually sold out. However, dealers are accepting orders for 2007.
How does the convertible top affect the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder’s speed?
With the roof up the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder’s top speed is 195 mph and with the top down it reaches 191. This difference in velocity is insignificant if you ever, ever go that fast.
What are the differences between the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupé?
The Spyder’s fully-automatic soft top makes it 265 pounds heavier than the Coupé and the rear deck is totally different. The Spyder has a carbon fiber engine cover that stretches from behind the cockpit to the tail lights, and which also serves as the cover for the soft top. In addition, the Spyder’s rear window can be lowered and raised and there are hidden, pop-up rollover bars behind the headrests. SPECIFICATIONS
