Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

For the longest time, it has been a bittle struggle between these 2 supercars with a foldable roof, or convertible as it is more commonly known. Some will call them cabriolet or spyder depending on which part of the world you come from & the era too. They all mean the same thing, whether the roof is made of fabric with a metal supporting structure (soft top) or purely out of metal pieces that still fold away neatly (hard top).

The Ferrari F430 Spyder has all the right curves & a small capacity engine. The Lamborghini Gallardo spyder has a sort of angular look that appeals to the engineer-trained, logical side of me too. The interiors are different & each car maker represents contrasting school of thoughts. Ferrari owners are usually said to be successful but serious in a nutshell. Lamborghini owners are successful & crazy & fun loving with disregard for the rules. Somehow that sounds like me.

Both cars give amazing performance, are incredibly bloody expensive & are every man's dream ride. I guess since Audi owns Lamborghini, there will be some German practicality, engineering & sensibility trickling down to all that Italian passion. After all, Audi cars are known to be one of the best in the world.

At the moment now, the Gallardo Spyder has a slight edge, but all that could change in the near future. There is still the viewing of the actual car & the actual sales experience to be factored in. Now all I need is to win first prize in Toto. Twice.

Ja neh!!!
