2004-2012 Lamborghini Gallardo review
Designed to redefine its segment as the best high performance sports car and driving behaviour that fits its driver in every situation. The Gallardo is the synthesis of a true sports car that can be used on an every day basis.While matching these two apparently conflicting objectives, the guideline for Lamborghini engineers has been to fulfill the necessary comfort requirements without any compromise in the performance expected of a true Lamborghini car.The choice for engine, transmission, space frame and body, suspension, brakes and electronics are then all in line with such an objective.The result is a compact (length 4.3m) 2-seater high performance car (max speed well over 300km/h), that can be driven with pleasure both on race tracks and on long distance journeys on country and city roads.The layout has been conceived to reach the high performance targets, on the basis of the sports-oriented concept for which Lamborghini is well known.The basic characteristics of such a layout are:
mid-rear mounted engine, with the gearbox behind the engine
permanent four-wheel drive system
independent double wishbone suspension system
aluminium space frame
low centre gravity
weight distribution 42% front, 58% rear
two front mounted water radiators and one side mounted oil cooler
wheelbase 2.560m, front track 1.622m, rear track 1.592m
Model Range:
Lamborghini LP 570-4 Superleggera
Lamborghini LP 560-4
Lamborghini LP 550-2
Lamborghini LP 570-4 Spyder Performante
