SANT' AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy, May 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Automobili Lamborghini's Gallardo Spyder added another prestigious accolade to its growing list of honors when Robb Report Magazine announced the winners of its 2006 "Best of the Best" competition in its June issue. The Gallardo Spyder was named "Best Sports Car," from a field of finalists that included the Ferrari F430 Challenge, the Spyker C8 Spyder and the Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
In selecting the Gallardo Spyder over its competition, Robb Report's Senior Vice President Robert Ross calls it "maybe the best Lamborghini, period, presenting all the virtues of the Gallardo SE coupe, wrapped in an audacious convertible rocket ship." They cite the Gallardo's uncompromising "speed, handling and flair," stating "it offers comfort and around-town drivability on par with popular German brands, which makes the $195,000 Gallardo Spyder an almost practical solution for drivers who are in search of maximum style and performance."

"We are extremely pleased that the Gallardo Spyder has been selected for this respected and coveted award, especially over such a formidable group of competitors," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "This award brings awareness to our continuing efforts to re-sculpt the automotive sports car landscape with innovative technology and design solutions."
