...reports speculate that the car's name is derived from its new 5.2L direct-inject V10 producing 560 PS (552 hp), and its four-wheel-drive system. The new engine, expected to become the Gallardo's sole motor eventually, is reportedly derived from the same V10 in the Audi RS6 Avant. The new LP560-4 is also said to be lighter than a standard Gallardo by some 20kg (44 lbs.), and features some important styling tweaks to the now five-year-old coupe.

While the exterior upgrades are minimal, once spotted they jump out at you. Up front are what appear to be new headlights, as well as a third intake or inlet that possibly directs air underneath the car. Positioned front, center and low between the two larger intakes, the new inlet adds some angles to the front end that are very reminiscent of the angular Reventon. Lamborghini has also added new vertical intakes ahead of the front wheels, though otherwise the profile remains the same except for new (and gorgeous) wheels. The largest exterior alteration is the rear end, which has been totally redone. The taillights are wider and shorter, a black grille stretches the entire expanse of the rear, and a pair of dual exhausts now exit within a black housing above a purposeful looking rear diffuser.

Then I guess it doesn't matter that I was wrong then....it was the first Lambo they thought was drivable (in major part to it being made and designed in Germany- just using an Italian motor and drivetrain) but still lacked an "oh wow" factor.

So your statement is a little contradictary? Because you said it was a poor driver. The argument is not whether or not it has wow factor, but in fact if it was a drivable car or not. The car is drivable, nimble, flashy, and exciting. I am not arguing that it is on par with the likes of a zonda, or koenigsegg, because its not, but the car isn't in the same price range of those cars either.
