Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder: IAA pics

Same car, same reason, different source.
This time it's up to Autoblog to show us some pics of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder from the premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

I showed up late to the Lamborghini press conference and missed the sheet being pulled to unveil the Gallardo Spyder, but it’s no big whoop as we’ve all seen the spy shots before. The Spyder’s engine and tranny have received modifications including increased horsepower up to 520 hp and lower ratios for its six-speed gearbox. 0-100kmh (62mph) happens in a scant 4.3 seconds and the car can reach a terminal velocity of 195 mph with the top up and 191 mph with it down. Better make sure your toupee is glued on real tight before hitting the autobahn with the top down.

By the way, if you notice in the background of this pic there’s another Gallardo Spyder hanging from the wall. I love Italian art.
