LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO
Coupe
The
Gallardo (pronounced ga-yar-doh) is named after one of
the original five breeds of fighting bull. Created in
Santa Maria, Spain in the XVIII century by Francisco Gallardo
and his brothers, the breed became known for its good
looks and strength, characteristics reflected in the new
car. Initiated in 2000, the Gallardo was designed by Luc
Donckerwolke. A compact 4.3-metre mid-engine two-seater
coupe, it is capable of maximum speeds well in excess
of 300 km/h and can be driven both on an every day basis
and on the racetrack. The V10 DOHC four valve V90-degree
5-litre engine produces 500Hp with 510Nm. The transmission
is 6-speed manual as standard or optional 6-speed sequential
E-gear paddle shift.
