    New Standard Items

    - Trip computer and heated mirrors are now standard
    - USB interface (for memory card) is standard and a CD changer is a zero cost option
    - Tire Pressure Measurement is standard

    Some new options

    - Ipod interface
    - Premium Audio System
    - Black colored exhaust pipes
    - Callisto Black colored rims
    - Cordelia rims
    - Q-citura interior (bi-color quilted interior)

    I am pretty sure there is gonna be a facelift in 08, if not then 09

    http://www.leftlanenews.com/updated-gallar...from-r8-rd.html

    I dont know how reliable it is but its a rumour, its on wikipedia too(not that wikipedias reliable either)


    "For the 2008 model year, the Gallardo will receive a slight facelift with a new front air dam, larger air intakes, dual squared of exhausts (similar to the Murciélago LP640) and new vents behind the front wheel. The Gallardo will also receive new rear suspension as well as a few other, unspecified components from the Audi R8"

    I guess then Automobili Lamborghini must be wrong :)

    Seriously though, I have the MY2008 order guide. There is **no** facelift for MY08.

    Maybe they'll do a facelift **in** 2008, i.e. MY2009?

    i hear they were creating bespoke interior i.e switches etc which are currently just from the A8, not sure which year the change will come in though.

    As a small bonus, the 08 Gallardo is trail rated.

    Why; the car was first produced in the year 2003. If 2008MY is coming out in June (with essentially no big changes, then 2009MY would make it six years with really no substantial changes in the 'look of the car' (not counting paint schemes and other ancillary options that were merely cosmetic). Any boost in power they made was, in my opinion, puny. It is time for Lamborghini to up the ante.

    Yes.

    Cordelia rims = suck

    No need for a facelift, it's hard to improve the looks of a G...
