2007 Gallardo Nera
On the show stand in Paris this year is a special edition of Lamborghini’s 2007 Gallardo coupe called the Gallardo Nera. Limited to 185 units, the Nera showcases how far you can go when you get chummy with Lamborghini’s personalization service, Ad Personam.
The Gallardo Nera’s most striking feature is its special paintwork, which is black and black and black all over. Matte black covers the side mirrors, rear spoiler, rear body panels, roof, selected front panels, and on the door sills and rear apron. Additional details such as matte black rims in the “Callisto” design with the Lamborghini logo, brake calipers in silver, white side indicator lenses, and darkened tail lights complement the “martial” look of the exterior.
The gaudy interior is rendered in “Nero Perseus” and “Bianco Polar” leather using the “Bicolor Sportive Equipment” variant. Leather is also found on the climate control operating panel, handbrake, and gear leaver consol, inner door handles and seat side cushions. Diamond-pattern stitching, which can also be found on the Alcantara roof lining, door trims, and the partition wall between the seats and the engine compartment. Instrument rings and decorative stitching on the steering wheel, plus white piping on the seats and mats, round off the interior mods.
The Lamborghini Gallardo Nera includes a navigation system, rear view camera, alarm system, lifting system, and a tailored vehicle cover. Optional equipment for the model includes the e-gear automated manual transmission, an engine cover with transparent glass panels, a Bluetooth compatible radio, and carbon ceramic brakes.
No modifications were made to the all-wheel-drive Gallardo’s 512-hp 5.0-liter V-10 engine, which is just fine since its 4.0-second 0-to-60-mph sprint and 195-mph top speed are still adequate. A convertible version has not been confirmed, but if you ask nicely, we’re sure the Ad Personam folks would be happy to build one for you.
