The first images for the facelifted Gallardo Spyder are here, and it wears the similar trigonometry inspired face which does not fit well for the Spyder. Though personally I feel that the extremely sharp styling does not work as well as it did with the coupe. Maybe it's the colour or the camera angles, but perhaps its looks better in the flesh. Besides the folding soft top, the Spyder is essentially similar to its coupe sibling, which was revealed at the recently concluded Paris Motor Show. It wears a new set of two-tone 19-inch Apollo polished alloys and feature bigger air intakes ahead of the front rims. Like in the coupe the powertrain air outlet area is wider for improved thermodynamic efficiency. What do you guys think? Am I too harsh on the looks or do you think it will grow on us?

At the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini presented its most successful super sports car with a facelifted design. Lamborghini has given one more facelift before the all-new replacement arrives. Lamborghini presents the new Gallardo LP 560-4 and the LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica at the Paris Motor Show. The new Gallardo LP 560-4 has a cosmetic upgrade while the Superleggera and the Spyder Performante, will be now renamed and offered as the Edizione Tecnica. The refreshed Gallardo models will be available at Lamborghini dealerships starting November 2012, while the rear wheel driven LP 550-2 'Valentino Balboni' Coupe and Spyder remain. The new Gallardo LP560-4 The new Gallardo LP 560-4 looks broader and more dominating, courtesy of a mathematical friendly triangle and trapezoid design language. Larger air intakes have been created ahead of the front wheels and the new 19-inch 'Apollo polished' alloy wheels, painted in matt black and featuring precision-machined spokes in polished silver. The air outlet for the powertrain in the rear has a wider surface area, to improve thermodynamic efficiency. The new Gallardo LP570-4 Edizione Tecnica Features of the Edizione Tecnica include the fixed rear wing, carbon-ceramic brakes that Lamborghini claims to combine low weight with remarkable fade resistance and durability. The power to weight ratio of the Edizione Tecnica is now an outstanding 2.35 kg/bhp. The Edizione Tecnica will be finished in exclusive colours where the entire roof arch and front air intakes are painted in a contrasting colour. The available shades are: - Nero Nemesis (matt black) body with Arancio Argos (orange) pillars and front air intakes - Bianco Canopus (matt white) body with Arancio Argos pillars and front air intakes - Arancio Argos body with Nero Nemesis pillars and front air intakes
