Money no object, based on driving feel and looks, which of the many gallardo variants would you choose? I'll start...

5. Balboni manual box
4. Superleggera mk1
3. Performante
2. Superleggera mk2
1. Super trofeo stradale / squadra corsa

First Superleggera - rarer than CS or Scud, raw (e-gear only helps) and absolutely beautiful to look at. Balboni would be my only other suggestion.

Available yes but as I understand it none sold, however if you know different do tell, as I'd given up on the chances of finding one

based on feel
Has to be 2wd, there is no counter argument....

Looks.... Thats subjective, I prefer facelift (LP) and a big spoiler

Sound.... On stock exhaust... Below 3k LP, 3-5k pre LP, over 5k the mk1 SL

Interior... Alcantara with carbon fibre bits
