Author's Description:

The Gallardo was designed as a competitor to the Ferrari 360 Modena, and now competes with its replacement, the F430. The car is the name of a famous bull and the breed is pronounced roughly “gah-yar-do.” Gallardo is also Spanish for the word gallant. Although the yield is lower than the Murcielago, it is still very high, and the Gallardo has much better rearward visibility and, according to commentators, is more manageable and more flexible at low speed, making the Gallardo more practice driving. It is also much more convenient to use in bad weather than many other supercars, thanks to the rear-biased all-wheel drive. While the owner Audi is renowned for its Quattro AWD system, Lamborghini uses a system of sound.

However, to the disappointment of fans, Lamborghini is not his signature scissor doors on the Murcielago, and some owners have their own form, vertical doors. Lamborghini has chosen to keep the doors of exclusive V12 models, as it has done since the Countach when they were first introduced.

At current prices the United States, a base Gallardo costs about $ 165,000.

The Gallardo uses a V10 engine based on the former right-5 Audi design. This engine was split again to become the right engine-5 in the new Volkswagen Jetta. The 5.0-liter engine is a current Audi 4.2-liter V8 (featured in the Audi S4, A6, A8 and Q7 models) with two extra cylinders and add a little smaller diameter.

The Gallardo offers two choices of transmissions, a conventional six-speed manual transmission and a six-speed electro-hydraulic advanced auto-clutch manual, or to shorten Lamborghini, “E-gear”. This allows the driver to make changes much faster than an automatic transmission with manual control of the offer. The driver moves up and down by paddles behind the steering wheel, and does not need to manually actuate the clutch.

Police car

In December 2004, several Lamborghini Gallardo supercars were donated by the Italian police in honor of the 152nd anniversary of force. The Gallardo Police Cars will be used by traffic police (Polizia Stradale) emergency and alarm on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria, also under the special powers of security which is already operational throughout this path of the road and especially for the transport of organs for transplantation.
