The Lamborghini Gallardo is the best sports car from the manufacturer Lamborghini. In fact, it is the same Lamborghini Murciélago with only smaller engine power and size. This model is considered the most successful machine of the Italian company in the market. For two years more than 3 thousand copies have been sold. The whole model range is Lamborghini.
The presentation took place in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show. The name, as always associated with bulls, so Gallardo means brave or courageous and is one of the varieties of these horned. The engine and body were designed by Audi, and the rest was developed directly by Lamborghini.
A lot of versions of this model have been released to order or as special versions. For example, Gallardo Nera, Gallardo SE and Gallardo LP560-4. The latter had as many as four upgrades, including a special one for the police. In 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show the world saw the Gallardo Spyder with a folding top. In 2013, the car survived the restyling.
Specifications
Gallardo’s design, of course, is very similar to Murcielago because they were both worked on by one person – Luke Donquerwall. The doors of the car open horizontally. More electronic systems help the driver to control the machine. The basic engine is a 5-litre V10 with 560 horsepower. The transmission is presented as a six-speed robotic or mechanical. All this allows this “beauty” to accelerate up to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, and the speed in its maximum is 310 km/h.
The car is also equipped with 19-inch discs, a spoiler-controlled climate control and a leather interior. The characteristics of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder are different. The body has been greatly redesigned. The Spyder engine has a power of 520 hp and can squeeze out a maximum of 315 km/h. Acceleration time is slightly reduced and is 4.3 seconds.
Summing up the results
In my opinion, it’s just a chic supercar that just can’t leave any car lovers indifferent.
