Those multi-million dollar properties for sale in Ortega, Riverside and Avondale might be a little easier to shift if sellers were to take a leaf out of this Brit’s book. Unable to sell his 2 million dollar home, he is adding an incentive. His Lambo:

But, as always, there’s a catch. You might think you were pretty smart getting a piece of property in England and some sweet wheels into the bargain. But this Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is NOT the SE (Special Edition) version.

I say again, it is not the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder SE.

If it were, the new owner could rest safe in the knowledge that all the design flaws had been worked out. WIKIPEDIA tells us:

Mechanically, the SE addresses many of the criticisms of the original Gallardo; the steering is quicker and more responsive, the transmission gear ratios have been adjusted to better suit the V10, and the E-gear now has a “thrust mode” to optimize acceleration, and the car’s power has been increased to 520 hp (388 kW). The SE has a higher top speed of 315 km/h or 196 MPH, and it accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds. Only 250 units of the Gallardo SE were built. All the mechanical upgrades of the SE, however, will be included in all 2006+ Gallardos (excluding the two-tone bodywork).

I should also note that if you think you are going to outrun the police in London, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels-style, think again. The Five-Oh over there are driving these:

We. Own. The. Road.

We. Own. The. Road.

Yep, that’s right.

The SE.
