Exotic Rides: 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

What makes a Gallardo Superleggera, a Gallardo Superleggera? Is it the ultra-sleek body paneling? The commitment to craft, in the absence of the butterfly doors commonly found on its roster mates like the Murcielago, Countach and Diablo in order to shave the excess weight of the bulky hinges? The $246,000 price tag? Or, perhaps, all of the above, plus a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds, and the esteem that accompanies cruising the strip in an Italian supercar? The Gallardo Superleggera is the performance variant of Lamborghini’s entry level hyper coupe. Sketched in expectation of the new Ferrari Scuderia, the stampeding-bull-badged manufacturer has made notable advances for the upcoming production model, but will that be enough when it is rated on both luxury and practicality? Fifty points in each suit will crown the 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera a faultless beast.
