2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Privilegio

The new Gallardo Privilegio follows a recent pattern now being established by Lamborghini to maximise sales of the maturing Gallardo model, which was started last year when the special Gallardo SE appeared in public for the first time at the Frankfurt IAA in September. With its distinctive shiny black engine cover, roof panel and door mirrors, the Gallardo SE was limited to 250 units - all of which sold out prior to the car being unveiled. At the same time Lamborghini introduced the new Gallardo Spider which is expected to account for the majority of the 5.0-litre V10-engined sportscar’s production totals this year, leaving the Coupé slightly in the shade


The new Gallardo Privilegio will be highly distinctive due to its use of a swage of matt-black finished parts on a polished black finished body - colours closely associated with the Bologna-based sportscar maker. The car’s base colour will be Nero Noctis (Night Black), although it will also be available in Nero Serapis.

Building on these two base colours will be a a series of visually distinctive matt-black finished exterior parts: outer shell casings of the side mirrors, rear spoiler, upper side panels and the slatted air vents they lead into, the roof (along with extra section at the back) and the outer sections on each side of the front bonnet which rake inwards towards the windscreen. Adding to the overall effect will be further matt-black finished parts including Callisto alloy wheels and similar finished rear lower spoiler covers. Completing the external changes will be darker rear tail lights while the Callisto rims will feature the CI logo - and providing a final a contrast - silver brake calipers will be fitted all round.
