Although 12,000 units may not sound like a lot in a world that routinely sees some nameplates sell over 300,000 copies a year, the milestone represents quite an accomplishment for a high-dollar super car. In comparison, the Gallardo's bigger brother - the Murcielago - sold just 4,099 units during its ten-year production run from 2001 to 2010.
So far no details have emerged on the Gallardo replacement, but we suspect word could be handed down sometime this year.
