The 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder is not just like any other roadster on the market. It is a spyder that can coast nice and easy in traffic or can scream its 550 hp engine on a race track. Because that's where the 550 number came from its power. As for the dash-2, it means it is rear-wheel drive.

Lamborghini introduced the Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante in 2010 as an open-top version of the Gallardo Superleggera.

The revised Gallardo came on the market at the wrong time. Yet, it managed to survive and kept the baby-Lambo running on the production lines in high-enough numbers to be kept for another five years.

Lamborghini introduced the Gallardo in 2003, but the carmaker was not convinced that an open-top version might be a good idea for a sports car enthusiast. Yet, it was.
