" Lamborghini Steals The Show With Two Stunners  Lamborghini showed its Gallardo Spyder at the official press conference for the L.A. Auto Show. The Spyder has a black fabric roof that can be raised or lowered in about 20 seconds. The Gallardo&amp;#039;s space frame has been stiffened and reinforced in many areas, as was the windshield frame. The Spyder is equipped with a rollover protection system comprising two &amp;quot;pop up&amp;quot; hoops with airbags behind the driver and passenger. The Spyder also gets a 20-hp bump in power bringing the 5.0-liter V10&amp;#039;s power to a grand total of 520 at 8000 rpm. The six-speed gearbox has lower ratios in each gear, too. This should provide even more impressive acceleration than the Gallardo we tested a couple years ago. We&amp;#039;ll have a chance to try the new Spyder in Miami about two weeks from now. Can&amp;#039;t wait. Well, the Gallardo Spyder is certainly cool. But the big news happened after the show closed. Last night we went to a Lamborghini party at the Museum of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills. There were more than a few celebs at this shindig including PM&amp;#039;s own Jay Leno who, unlike us, has a couple Lamborghinis in his garage. One of his favorites (and ours) is the Miura. The Miura, produced between 1966 and 1972, turned the automotive world on its ear when it debuted with drop-dead gorgeous bodywork and a powerful V12 engine to match. To help celebrate the Miura&amp;#039;s 40th birthday, Lamborghini unveiled the Miura concept. As you can see by the photo, the concept is remarkably faithful to the original. And just for the record, it looks even better in person. The mechanicals are from the Gallardo so that means V10 power. The official word is that this is just a concept. But small companies like Lamborghini don&amp;#039;t build frivolous concept cars just for fun. And this Miura looked too &amp;quot;finished&amp;quot; to be merely an homage to the original. Let&amp;#039;s hope they build it ... with V12 power, just like the original. The Miura concept is being air-shipped today to Detroit for the auto show next week. So if you&amp;#039;re planning on going to the North American International Auto Show you can check it out there. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
