At a private function in Beverly Hills last night, west of the hustle and bustle of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Lamborghini unveiled yet another new version of the Gallardo: the 2012 Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder.Essentially a convertible version of the LP550-2 Balboni, the Spyder version retains the 550-bhp 5.2-liter V-10 engine and rear-wheel-drive configuration (the 2 in the car’s name stands for 2-wheel drive). The paddle-shift e-Gear will be the only available transmission.The retractable top is soft, and it folds under what Lamborghiniclaims is the largest single piece of automotive carbon fiber. Too bad it’s painted. The suspension has tailored for the inevitable weight gain, and a new matte-black accent adorns the bottoms of the side sills.The 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder will be available in March, priced at $209,000 (excluding $2995 destination and a gas-guzzler tax)
