For the people in India, Lamborghini celebrates its 50th anniversary in style, with the launch of the limited edition of the model Gallardo LP550-2 with an ex-showroom Maharashtra price of Rs.3.06 crore.

The India Edition Gallardo Sports Car will be limited to only six super-sports cars adorned with the colors of the Indian flag, of which one car has already been sold to a Bangalore-based entrepreneur prior to the launch.

“This is the way we wanted to pay tribute to India and be different. We could have an Indian monument painted on the car for exclusivity, but we decided for the tri-colour theme,” said Pavan Shetty, Head of Operations, Lamborghini India.

The Gallardo LP550-2 Indian edition sports three colours such as arancio borealis (pearl orange), bianco monocerus (white) andverde ithaca (pearl green) on its exterior the tricolour strip of the Indian national flag that run from the front bonnet to the rear engine bonnet.

The interior has also got shades of the tricolor too, with stitching on the driver's seat in verde ulysse (green), on the passenger seat in arancio leonis (orange) and on the doors, center console and dashboard in bianco polar (white).

The India edition Gallardo is also equipped with the front nose lifting facility which provides better ground clearance for Indian road condition, making this as an advantage for Lambo buyers in India.
