I've seen a few of these in person, and I'm always surprised at how small they are.

I think of them as tidy (not tiny). Just saw a Murcielago roadster (ugly gold color) and they are bigger than I think they should be.

I've only seen one in person and was thrown off by the size. Pictures don't do it justice

I felt the same about the CCX I saw last week. So much power is so little space!

Why do people insist on blackening Gallardo taillights? It makes me sad.

I've always felt the same way. I think it's just the wide stance they pose. There's a Testarossa at my local c&c, I'm always amazed at how small it is.

Man, those and 458's, they're just itty bitty cars!

No clue.

Easiest way to de-classify a car.

i prefer the looks of the face lift. When I saw the Aventador I was surprised how low it was. Same with the Gallardo ST car.

It's the modern day powdered wig.

Yeah, the pre-facelift is starting to look awfully dated.

I still really like them though. There just something so right about a pre-facelift Gallardo.

In contrast with the V12 Lambos, which spread out to cover a parking space like warm putty.

I don't have an issue with making the rear tail lights a few shades darker, but completely blacking them out is really icky.

Same here.

This one was a stick, too. Extra goodness.

Kinja'd!!!

Fun fact: pre-facelift car had a Cosworth V10 and the facelifted car had an Audi V10

Also surprising is how smooth the paint is.

Didn't know that.

I didn't either until somewhat recently.

Apparently Audi bought Cosworth to help tune their high end engines. Since Lambo was used to making V12s they got Cosworth's help for the initial V10

Then by the time the Gallardo got its facelift Audi proper had been directly involved with the V10 FSI development

At least that's what I've read.

That brings out my inner hipster and makes me "appreciate" the first gen. Gallardo more.

SOON you will be able to buy a 2004 or 2005 Gallardo de Manuél for $45K

Then you can fix the complaints that the first two years got (which makes nobody want them now cause Lambo corrected them in 2006) with two simple mods:

1. RWD conversion (very easy, no ECU mods needed)

2. After market exhaust or an exhaust cut out (car was too quiet for first couple years)

I assume you've seen Larini exhaust videos on YouTube.
