Lamborghini Gallardo Nera

Aux Champs Elysées

Spotted along the famous Champs-Elysées in Paris, this rare Lamborghini Gallardo Nera was sitting around patiently waiting to be let loose again in the streets of Paris.

Gallardo Nera (Special Edition) is a limited (185 unit) version of contemporary Gallardo coupe introduced at the Paris Motor Show. The car was designed to showcase the customization options available to the customer in the Ad Personam program.

The Nera features special matte black body panels, and is only available in black—actually a combination of Nero Serapis and Nero Noctis. Brake calipers are painted a special silver, and the taillights are smoked to match the darker paint scheme. The interior is stitched from high-contrast black and white leather in the Q-Citura (lozenge shaped) fashion. Note that the glass engine cover remained an option, even on the Nera.

Among the produced Gallardo Nera, 60 were destined for the American market, 91 were sold in Europe. I’m not sure how many Nera’s made it to Australia. So far I have only spotted one in Sydney.

It’s a shame the spotted Nera was customised with these horrendous wheels, as the originals seem to suit the car much better.
