Congrats !

Personally I think it looks hideous in that colour scheme, but it's Dubai and taste matters not. If it was a good deal, I would have bought it too but I would have plans to at least retrim the interior and probably a colour change also.

Has it been wrapped on matt black? If so what is the factory colour?

It was a private deal. It's low mileage and belonged to a sheikha from Qatar hence the special Order interior.
How low.? Is it a typical car bought on a whim and hardly used...?

That's a helluva first post.

Is this 'welcome to Dubai' as well as 'welcome to PH'?

How long have you been here? Have you just dropped in, been overcome by the 'Dubainess' and gone for a crazy car, or been here a while and stepped tentatively into the shark-infested pool of supercar ownership?

Genuinely interested to hear your story. I almost found myself the owner of a Gallardo Superleggera a few months ago, but a decent amount of research turned me off that particular car. Maybe on the hunt for something alternative like you have there....

And allow me to jump to conclusions, if you don't mind; .....Palm....Lambo.........Banking? Or real Estate?

It's the original factory color special Order. It belonged to a sheikha from Qatar and now it belongs to my Duchess. In my opinion if you are going for a super car it's fine be adventurous with the colors! You only live once as they say

This car is well travelled... it's been in Monoco, Paris, London and now in Dubai. It's low and it's a fun weekend car for us. The attention it gets is crazy

Been in Dubai over 12 years and had a few Gallardo's and this car I had to buy for my Duchess. Got a Gallardo too... one of the first ones as its original Lamborgoni as I think after the engines are based on Audi R8.

I recently came across this forum but not new in Dubai. I'm in IT

Go for it mate... life too short.

Quite some mileage then! So... About 10000km?
Will keep a look out on the palm... I'm on the golden mile daily for work.

Hahaha not at all ... mileage is low. I think it’s spent more time being shipped around than driven! I’m usually have a run around the golden mile track now the weather is better!

Fingers crossed for you that it's no less than 44000km.
That's the figure that Al Ketbi had it advertised for just last week. Weird that you got it from a private sale when it was advertised in a garage.

Are we suggesting this was all in the mind of a 12 year old boy, mental or actual age?

If so i hope the chap can stay around long enough to explain what he got out of this?
