The Model: Everything about this car is "super". Super handling, super sleek, super-fast and as the name itself implied, super light. When Lamborghini unveiled the Gallardo in 2004, it was hailed as one of the greatest supercars ever. A modern, powerful new V10 powered these cars which featured on-demand all-wheel drive that engaged automatically when the rear wheels start to slip, plus a body design that was second to none in stealthy sleekness. Then in 2008, they upped the ante a bit with the Superleggera. First, they tweaked the 5.0L V10 a bit and squeezed out another 11 HP by improving the intake, exhaust, and ECU, then they shaved all unnecessary weight taking off 70 kilograms, or a little over 150 pounds by substituting carbon-fiber for such components as the central tunnel, rear air diffuser and interior door panel, seat buckets plus little things like using titanium wheel nuts. There were a few extras such as carbon ceramic disc brakes which added $15,600 to the base price. A couple more "supers" related to this model, it was in production for less than six months, a super short period and just 172 of these unique vehicles were produced, making it super-rare.

The Car: Whoever said "you can never get too much of a good thing" must have experienced a ride behind the wheel of a Superleggera. Of the 172 produced only 37 of them were finished in Nero Noctis, or Black, and adorned with the matte-black stripes and markings. The special light-weight sport seats are covered in the highest quality of suede leather, a treatment that extends to the massive dashboard. After careful inspection, everywhere you look the Superleggera appears to be a new car. Riding on specially constructed lightweight 19" wheels the Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires show little wear. Our consignor tells us that all required maintenance has been performed and all books and records are included. As one of the most powerful cars ever produced and flawlessly engineered, this is a car that was built for a person who likes, no, make that "loves" to drive. It provides the feel of the road and at the same time makes other sit up and take notice, even in a sea of supercars! �
