Description
We are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional 2008 Right-Hand Drive Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, having covered just 20,700 miles from new.
The Gallardo Superleggera represents one of the defining analogue supercars of its generation, combining the visceral character of the original Gallardo with an uncompromising focus on weight reduction, driver engagement and performance.
Introduced at the Geneva Motorshow in 2007, the Superleggera was Lamborghini's answer to the growing demand for lightweight, track-inspired road cars and remains one of the most desirable variants of the Gallardo lineage.
The first-generation Gallardo Superleggera occupies an important place in Lamborghini's history. It represents the final evolution of the original 5.0-litre V10 and is widely regarded by enthusiasts as offering the purest and most engaging driving experience of the Gallardo range. With its naturally aspirated engine, hydraulic steering, analogue driving dynamics and unmistakable V10 soundtrack, it has become one of the marque's most desirable modern classics.
Developed with extensive use of carbon-fibre throughout the body and interior, together with the lightweight forged Magnesium 'Skorpius' wheels, a polycarbonate engine cover, titanium wheel bolts, a lightened prop-shaft and reduced sound insulation, the Superleggera achieved a significant weight saving of 100 kilograms over the standard Gallardo. The result was a dramatic improvement in agility and performance, with the 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V10 delivering 523 bhp and 0–62 mph times of just 3.8 seconds before continuing to a top speed in excess of 195 mph. Combining Lamborghini's renowned permanent four-wheel drive system and razor-sharp chassis, the Superleggera offers an exhilarating driving experience that continues to define the analogue supercar era.
Visually, the Superleggera is distinguished by its purposeful aerodynamic enhancements, including the larger fixed carbon-fibre rear wing, revised front splitter, unique carbon fibre-side skirts and extensive exposed carbon-fibre detailing. The cabin follows the same philosophy and features lightweight carbon-fibre sports seats trimmed in Alcantara together with exposed carbon interior trim to the door panels and centre console, creating a driver focussed and beautifully crafted environment.
This particular example is believed to be one of just six Right Hand Drive examples finished in Nero Noctis black paintwork from a total worldwide production of just 618 Superleggera’s.
With Lamborghini UK having first registered the Superleggera on 01/05/2008, service records completed by Lamborghini show the Pre-Delivery Inspection having been carried out on 24/08/2008.
Total service records completed by Lamborghini UK show works being completed as follows,
07/08/2008 at 2,124 Miles
29/01/2009 at 4,017 Miles
20/01/2010 at 10,047 Miles
24/11/2010 at 12,758 Miles
16/08/2018 at 16,457 Miles
06/10/2026 at 20,665 Miles
Following purchase by the third owner in 2012, the Superleggera remained in storage until the service carried out on 16/08/2018 shows a total of just 16,457 miles having been completed.
Most recently, a full service, recommission and new MOT were carried out at 20,665 miles by the current owner at the start of 2026.
Increasing recognition of analogue Lamborghini's, combined with limited production numbers and the rarity of right-hand drive examples, has firmly established the Gallardo Superleggera as one of the most collectible Lamborghinis of the 21st century.
With just three former keepers, this excellent and rare right-hand-drive example has formed part of a significant private collection of Lamborghini's and it would be a pleasure to answer any questions or arrange viewing.
