50th anniversary gallardos

[spreadselbow]

Hi All,

Looking to go from my 991.1 gt3 into a Huracan or Gallardo 50th/Perf

Anyone here owned the 50th and have anything to comment about it/ vs standard Gallardo?
Also I like the look of the white 50th listed with TH, any history anyone could add to help?

Many thanks

You’ll miss every aspect of the gt3 after 2-3 weeks of a powerful Audi.

Thrash the porka to your lambo dealer and ask for a test drive with earplugs in. The sound can blur your judgement of road manners, steering, pedal feel, ‘pointyness’ - drive one before you think any more about it 😜

50th Anni vs Standard G. Bumpers and wheels Any of the LPs are a hoot to drive. Still more of an event than many current SC offerings

Thanks for your comments guys,
I have been thinking of letting the gt3 go for a little while, it's a fine piece of engineering however I feel I only smile in it when I am hitting 8k revs.. and that's not often on the roads!!

I'm sure a trip to the South of France would change that massively with some much needed mountain roads,however in the meantime a big V10 lump may suit me better for the driving I do...!

If your looking for something that gives a real sense of occasion and an event to drive even at slower speeds, I would probably try seek out a Gallardo Superleggera over a 50th Anniversary.

Good shout, I didn't really consider one of these as always assumed they was out of my price range.. seems they've fallen a little.

Any idea if there much difference in tech from a earlier superleggera (2008) vs a 2014 560?

depends on what you mean by tech

interior electronics are much the same

Traction control is still pretty primitive by todays standards

Ive a 50th and love it.Much more of an occassion than the Porsche and you wont tire of the noise.
I prefer mine over the Superleggerra due to the rarity factor alone. One of 100 worlwide cars and i think 16 in total in the UK.
I'm biased as mine has all the carbon and buckets which ive not seen in any other UK car.

the 560 is a much better car : quieter, smoother, more insulated, more refined, more cossetting, more mainstream
..so i drive a superleggera

100% this.

I was chatting to a guy a few weeks ago looking to spend around £100k on something fun. Mentioned the usual suspects inc. a 570S. He just looked at me and said "Yea ... but it's a McLaren." I quite like them, but I'd rather have a Gallardo. Been tempted by an early 720S recently as they're so cheap compared to new but that also puts me off. Concerned about how cheap they'll become whilst I have one. Can't afford to lose another £50k+ on it in a year or two. For those of us without money to burn a G special edition is a safe bet. You also get a nice little badge in the window with the 50th anni, what more could you want.

Here you go



And with its stablemate!

Obviously I'm biased as I own one but I could have bought any gallardo and chose the best.....

Best power to weight of any gallardo
Super rare- only 10 UK white cars
Alcantra interior
Better steering feel as no front diff
Not that modern a chassis so you drive the car not a ECU
Fun at slower speeds as rwd
LP looks and rear spoiler

The superleggera will be faster due to extra grip, but that grip also means fun on public roads ain't happning

That's a 2013 facelift not a 50th really

[Pioneer]

It has the 50th badge in the window and says it on the original invoice. Tbh, I didn't really know what the difference was when I bought it, I just wanted a facelift in Orancio Borealis. HR Owens sold it to me as a 50th though

[AndyC_123]

Both awesome

Congrats guys.

[Never you mind]

Curios. Does it say 50th Editzone Limata or Just 50th?

[Pioneer]

Just 50. Same as this one at 1:00
