2011 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera LP570-4 - Lamborghini Exotic Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
Duck your head, limbo in, probe the footwell for legroom, lower yourself carefully into the Sparco tub.

Duck your head, limbo in, probe the footwell for legroom, lower yourself carefully into the Sparco tub, stretch out, breathe out, and relax if you can. No, the Gallardo cockpit is not made for tall fatsos whose Gold's Gym membership expired in 1972. Which is a shame, because the Superleggera epitomizes luxury in a modern, laidback fashion - super, yes; leggera, less so. Almost the entire passenger cell is lined with black Alcantara, which looks and feels like suede. To reduce weight, the door panels, the transmission tunnel cover, and the seat buckets are made of shiny carbon fiber. Other nice touches include bespoke instrument faces, body-color accents like contrasting stitching and piping, aluminum pedals, and a meaty steering wheel with an ever-so-slightly squared-off bottom.inline_mediumwraptextright28529545/reviews/driven/1003_2011_lamborghini_gallardo_superleggera_lp570_406+2011-lamborghini-gallardo-superleggera-lp-570-4-front-three-quarter.jpgTrue
