Yay, an excuse to post shots of this Balboni Edition Gallardo from the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.

The problem is that, those special cars are marketing incentives created to lure customers into dealerships. I don’t believe manufactures make much profit on these; their profit mainly comes from boring models like the pickups and minivans.
