Model years are inclusive, i.e. if it says 2004-2005, that means that particular Gallardo could be purchased as a 2004 or 2005 model.

This is primarily a visual guide, a one-stop source for those who need to quickly research visual differences between the numerous Gallardo variants. I have omitted mechanical/performance specifications purposely. These may be added at a later date as I learn how to package more information into the guide without adding clutter.
This list is as comprehensive as my internet researching abilities allowed. I know, however, that it is incomplete. If there is a model you think I may have missed, if you see incomplete or incorrect information stated anywhere on this page, or especially if you have a photo of a Gallardo that is your own or one you have permission to use, please reach out to me by commenting or by emailing me: dkim08@gmail.com
I will continue to update this page until I believe it is 100% complete and accurate.
