    The Gallardo has a wing? I'm not a major lambo enthusiast, but I've never heard of a wing on the Gallardo.

    The rear spoiler rises at around 80mph and drops back again around 50. Not really big enough to call a wing, but I reckon you can feel a mild downforce when it is up. (I'm probably imagining it!)

    The wing is only like an inch about the trunk cover. It flows evenly with the car so you cant tell its there until you look at it.

    I'm not Wayne but IIRC the color is Rosso Metus. It looks even better when you see it in person.

    At least it is different, and I actually like it at the same time!
