After what I hope was a great Labor Day weekend for everyone, it’s time to announce the Model Citizen/Live and Let Diecast Model of the Month. Once again, we’re returning to the AUTOart catalog to bring you the 1:18-scale Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera.
While Aventadors and Sesto Elementos get all the glory, the Gallardo is the model that helped Lamborghini reassert itself as a major player in the supercar market under Volkswagen Auto Group’s stewardship. The Superleggera took everything that made the original Gallardo attractive and made it better: lighter and more powerful, it was a true member of the 200+ MPH club.
AUTOart are the masters of scale-model Lamborghinis, and the Gallardo SL is quietly one of their best efforts. The interior detail is really excellent, as is the paint finish. With AUTOart moving away from diecast metal-bodied models in favor of composite, their classic metal cars are becoming increasingly desirable. Thankfully, favorable wholesale pricing means that instead of the MSRP of $163.95, we’re able to offer the LP570-4 Superleggera for $95 to the general public…and for LaLD readers in September, it’s only $85. Just enter promo code LALDSEPT at checkout. We have very few orange variants available and only ONE grey, so if interested you’re advised to act fast!
