The ten special series sports cars, which are individually numbered, were delivered to their new owners during a special event and dinner held at the upscale Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Singapore. The sports cars came in the option of either white or black and feature a distinctive split red body side stripe, one of each style was shown in a temporary display outside the luxury hotel.

The Gallardo Singapore Edition was the idea of Melvin Goh, the Managing Director of Lamborghini Singapore, who took his idea for an officially-sanctioned special series to celebrate ten years of the importer in the republic (2001-2011) to the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese last summer. Lamborghini Singapore has been achieving great sales success while the Italian sports car maker as a whole has seen its sales crash across most of the world following the effects of the global financial crisis. Reportedly more than 50 orders have already been placed in Singapore for the next-generation Murciélago, the advanced, V12-engined LP700-4 which will debut at next month's Geneva Motor Show.

As well as the side stripes, each example of the the Gallardo Singapore Edition has an individually-numbered plaque inside the cockpit and a special Merlion logo attached to the lower rear three-quarter panel section. Merlion is the mascot of Singapore, a fictitious creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish.

The specially commissioned Gallardo Singapore Edition is based on the Gallardo LP550-2 Balboni Edition, the two wheel drive version named after the Raging Bull brand's legendary test driver Valentino Balboni. Under the skin the mechanicals of the mid engined sports car remain unchanged, that means the 5.2-litre V10 engine turns out maximum power of 550 PS at 8,000 rpm and peak torque of 40 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Top speed is 320 km/h while 0-100 km/h is achieved in 3.9 seconds. The dimensions are: length (4,386 mm), width (1,900 mm), height (1,165 mm) and wheelbase (2,560 mm).
