The Top Gear awards have shaken up the industry from its pre-Christmas lethargy, with Lamborghini the latest to shout about its award.
The 520bhp V10-propelled convertible was voted into the dream car category’s first place by a team of judges from Top Gear TV and magazine, including Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond and magazine editor Michael Harvey. The award was officially presented to Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann, at a glittering Top Gear ceremony in London.
The 195mph supercar joined the winners’ line-up in a photo shoot in Mumbai. The magazine includes a review of the Spyder by Emma Parker-Bowles and Bollywood film star Akshay Kumar, with Jeremy Clarkson commenting, “We telly boys think the best, most fun car to emerge all year was Lambo’s new soft-top.”
The £131,000 Gallardo Spyder was officially launched at Frankfurt Motor Show in autumn 2005. UK deliveries started this year, from the four official dealerships in Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and London.
