Lamborghini Gallardo

Exterior

Although it may look like the larger Murcielago, when you put the two hip-high supercars next to each other, the Gallardo immediately appears more compact and blunter.

The Gallardo seems somehow less extreme than its larger sibling � the restyled Murcielago LP460 � though it is polar opposite.

As sharp creases and angles on the strategy to carve a unique look for itself, it does something different than arch-rival Ferrari, whose Gallardo competitor � the F430 � bulges with curves and rounded shapes. The Gallardo�s overall form is more harmonious than the F430, despite its edgy, aggressive look.

Interior

Audi�s influence in improving the quality of the inside of Gallardo is obvious: plenty of properly fitting leather and soft-touch materials; knobs, buttons and switches straight out of an Audi A6 sedan.

 
Seating is comfortable enough to accommodate the occasional road trip. Unless the passenger seat is empty, there�s no carrying space inside the cockpit, but short drivers might squeeze a purse or briefcase behind the seat. A small rolling carry-on bag can be hold in a trunk in the very nose of the car. Though not as flamboyant as the exterior, the interior styling is still suitable for a vehicle that commands such a high price of admission.

Powertrains and Performance

The V10 engine positioned amidstrip develops 520 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. Power is fed throng, a six-speed manual transmission and an AWD system. Also, an automated, sequential-shifting manual transmission is available.

Safety and Security

The standard equipment are the antilock brakes, traction control and stability control, as well as head-protecting side curtain airbags.

Driving Impression
The V10 produces a sweet soundtrack at full throttle, truly befitting a Lamborghini. The Gallardo is capable of warp speed from any gear with its 520 hp on tap. This is because the big V10 and AWD system make the Gallardo a bit portly for this class of car. The brakes can be inconsistent in feel when pushed to their limit, even though they are immensely powerful. However, there�s plenty to like about the Gallardo. The new suspension updates help the car be a more willing handling partner. When the roads are slick and unfamiliar, the Gallardo is indeed the car you need, thanks to that AWD system.
