The new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, the most significant makeover of the Gallardo since the car’s introduction in 2003, is proving to be one popular vehicle. Lamborghini announced late Thursday that it has compiled a six-month waiting list for the car, even before its U.S. rollout later this summer. The announcement was timed to coincide with the delivery of the first Gallardo LP560-4 here.

The car was delivered to New Yorker Benny Caiola, Jr., whom Lamborghini described in a statement as a “noted Italian car enthusiast and collector.” Caiola bought the car at a local charity auction during the 2008 New York Auto Show. Caiola said he has “owned nearly every [Lamborghini] model.” The LP560-4 went on sale across Europe in June with a price tag of $222,000.
