    As the title suggests I am trying to get some info on the Grigio Lynx and the Grigio Thalasso colors (optional paint colors on the LP560).

    Which color is which? I think the Grigio Lynx refers to a dark gray metallic color and the Thalasso is more of a silver metallic, but wasn't sure.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I guess pics would be helpful. The reason I am asking is because these two colors are listed as standard (probably not the correct lambo term) colors for the LP560. The list of the colors only had the names and not a paint chip to show the color. I recognized the names of all the others (i.e. the black, the white, the yellow, etc.), but wasn't sure the difference between the Lynx and the Thalasso. I think I know the difference (dark gray vs silver), but wasn't sure. Anyone else know for sure??

    I think the following photos are the Grigio Lynx. However, you will notice on some of the photo labels (done by a dealership) the color is labeled as Grigio Lynx and some are labled as Grigio Thalasso. Hence my confusion as I thought the Thalasso was a light silver color and the Lynx was the dark gray.

    Ummm, so are you saying the photos I posted are Grigio Thalasso and NOT Grigio Lynx??????? The photos below seem to contradict this. Please clarify. Thanks.


    I found the following photos that all say they are Grigio Thalasso, so I guess maybe Grigio Lynx really is the dark gray and Thalasso is the light silver.

    Anyone own a Gallardo in one of these colors that can confirm?

    You are correct. Grigio Lynx is the current darker grey (replaced Grigio Proteus) and Grigio Thalasso is the current lighter silver (replaced Grigio Altair). I have seen both in person at Lamborghini Dallas (still there).

    I tried that and the guy on the phone was less than enthusiastic to answer my question and was also unable to tell me the answer 100%. He didn't sound very bright.

    unless your coming in to see a car in person 97% of car sales people don't care what you have to say!

    I personally prefer the Grigio Lynx (the darker one), but I would opt for black wheels rather than the one I posted that has silver. I am not usually a fan of black wheels, but I think it would look good with the Grigio Lynx color.

    Grigio Telesto looks great in strong light, but otherwise reminds me of a plastic battleship. Not that anybody would notice on a Lambo. I like Lynx better, but would also take any Lambo in Grigio Telesto any day.
