Lamborghini Gallardo
| Lamborghini Gallardo |
| Description: |
The Lamborghini Gallardo is the Italian supercar maker Lamborghini's entry-level car, sitting beneath the Murciélago. It is also the first car to feature the new Lamborghini V10 engine - only the third engine designed by the firm. 5,000 Gallardos were built in just three years, making it the company's most-produced model to date. The second-place Diablo took a decade to sell 2,903 units.
The Gallardo was designed as a competitor to Ferrari's 360 Modena, and now competes with its replacement, the F430. The car is named after a famous breed of fighting bull and is pronounced roughly guy-ar-do. Gallardo is also Spanish for the word gallant. Although performance is lower than that of the Murcielago, it is still very high, and the Gallardo has much better rearward visibility (than the Murcielago) and, according to reviewers, is more maneuverable and tractable in low-speed traffic, making the Gallardo a more practical car to drive. It is also much more practical to use in bad weather than many other supercars, thanks to rear-biased all-wheel drive. Although corporate owner Audi[2] is renowned for its Quattro AWD system, Lamborghini uses a system of its own.
To the disappointment of some Lamborghini fans, the Gallardo does not have Jack Knife Doors, aka Scissor doors as found on the Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago models. |
