Looking for a Gallardo LP

[Lord_Howit_Hertz]

Definitely used to be white.

if it's not a factory conversion then is it rare still?

it's incredible how many 360/430 ferraris have been converted to manual now as some garages have gotten really good at it

It's anthracite beneath a crayon grey wrap. Was dyno'd at ~480hp, then de-coked and mapped to 615hp. All according to the owners social media.

Looks a lovely condition car.

The auction on CC is now live:https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2011-lamborghini-gallardo-spyder-performante

The car is white under the wrap.
A question has been asked about the manual conversion. Edit: The conversion was done by REP Performance.
Ricky's very knowledgeable and experienced on Lambos so would know what he's doing.
Auction finishes on Monday 25th Sept @ 7.00pm.

Thanks all. Aware of the rarity of LP manuals - which is why I am also considering a Superleggera (auto).

How about 1 of the 10 Singapore Limited Editions. It's mostly Superleggera spec apart from being 550-2 wheel drive, so even lighter. It has a low rear wing which most 570-4 Superleggeras didn't have but does have rear roll cage hoops and harness belts which would probably have been an optional extra for the 570-4s. In image 15 it has rear parking sensors so it may not have the rear camera which would be under a high rear wing. The one at Morgan Cars is no 5 of 10:

As it's a Singapore Limited Edition presumably it did start life in Singapore but is currently a NI registered car.

VVS has no 2 of 10 as a new unregistered car with only 50 miles on the speedo. This has the same rear roll cage hoops behind the seats and harness belts, so perhaps that was standard spec for this limited edition. VVS state "The car had an extensive mechanical revamp too including new suspension and software settings, giving the SLE a completely different style with a GT3 car feel."

As the VVS car is new and unregistered with delivery miles it's £100k more. That probably helps with any decision making.

i'd view this more as a 550-2 with superleggera bits rather than a 570-4 with rwd... gen 1 mag wheels, small carbon spoiler and rear deck, gen II carbon rear splitter, side skirts, mirrors and front bumper (note black bits on this are not carbon) and interior

the mirrors will not be electric folding btw

good shout given all the carbon bits will make it very light and the only way to get the alcantara interior with buckets in a rwd was the anniversario or imported special ediition... the singapore was a run of 10 sold to select customers in singapore only.

it is missing the special plaque on the rear wing, but should have a plaque on the inside, and both uk imports have had the red stripes removed that adorned the flanks

The link to the website for the Singapore Limited Edition car is no longer available as of at least last night.
Presumably someone has bought it, anyone on here?

Don't get excited as this one is a previously sold car, but just to prove that are a very few out there:

According to the cc8s register it's probably one of the two 2011 LP 550-2 orange cars.


I suspect that you are going to have to be either incredibly patient or incredibly lucky, or both, to find a manual LP coupe. Unless you extend your search to pre-LP cars you'll probably have to accept whatever car becomes available with no choice as to colour, service history, mileage, 2 or 4 wheel drive, etc, etc. I don't think there any manual Superleggera LP 570-4s in the UK.

Wishing you good luck with the search.

That's mine now - still in my garage
