Like all Lamborghini cars, Gallardo has a sporty character and catchy appearance. But unlike many other models of the eminent brand, this one has become wildly popular. During the first two years of production, about 3 thousand people wished to buy Lamborghini Gallardo. All copies were sold out.
The car appeared back in 2003, when the start of sales was announced. And since then, for a decade, a series of these machines have been produced, of different trim levels and body colors. They were restyled twice, and they got a new body. 
What is the secret of such popularity of very expensive supercars? (Although this model just had a relatively low cost.) Let's try to figure it out by examining its interior, exterior and everything else.
Appearance overview

convertible test
The name Gallardo is taken from Spanish bullfighting terminology. It means "the bravest bull". Appearance only confirms this definition. We list the main features of the exterior.
- Lamborghini Gallardo in the photo looks very impressive, especially from the front. This convertible has an unusual front end. The hood area descends like a rolling sea wave to the bumper. But the front cover is protected by trapezoidal headlights, each resembling an ax blade.
- The bumper is equipped on the sides with massive lanterns.
- The side parts of the car are distinguished, firstly, by huge wheels with stylish disks, and secondly, by impressive deflectors, obviously intended for air intake, preceding the rear row of wheels.
- The model, as seen in the photo of Gallardo Lamborghini, is a convertible, but there is a modification of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, which has a body cover. It quickly enough, in 11 seconds, extends and turns the car into a winter version. This confirms the test drive video.
- The rear of the car is not very expressive, angular, equipped with powerful taillights and a bumper merged with the body. Although there is a kind of wing that increases the angle of attack. The view through the rear window is also much wider than in previous models. And where ordinary cars have a towbar, our hero has a strip of red light optics.
- The dimensions of the super-car are as follows: 4345 mm x 1900 mm x 1184 mm. The weight of some modifications reaches 1500 kg.
Salon and options
Inside the Lamborghini Gallardo is also stylish. The seats are made of leather. They provide maximum convenience for people, while the electronic adjustment includes many levels.
The steering wheel here is small, pleasant to reach. Surrounded by stylish paddle shifters.
The leather interior has numerous carbon fiber inserts. The ceiling is not very high, but it is quite comfortable. Numerous test drives posted on special sites confirm this fact.
When it comes to driving, there are many nice accessories for the driver. For example, cruise control, climate control, audio system and navigation. A neighbor-passenger inside a two-seater Lamborghini Gallardo is also comfortable, and there is a shelf for bags at the back.
Equally comfortable is a convertible with a retractable roof. To see this, just look at the photo of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder salon.
Specifications to the max
Let's start with the main features. A special pneumatic system helps increase ground clearance. With its help, a super-car can be raised by 4 cm. After all, the initial clearance of this Lamborghini corresponds only to asphalt conditions. 
The body of the Lamborghini Gallardo is completely aluminum. Experts from the Audi concern worked on its form. They were also engaged in its release, then supplying the assembly unit to Italy.
These cars are rear-wheel drive by default. The distance between the rear wheels, as befits a real sports car, is greater than the corresponding value for the front wheels. In addition, on slippery roads, the driver can activate all-wheel drive.
And now we list the main parameters.
- The engine of this sports car occupies a solid volume of 5.2 liters. It is lowered as much as possible, its lubrication is provided according to the principle of a dry sump. The main arsenal of this piston unit is as many as ten cylinders!
- Gearboxes for different modifications are different - automatic and mechanics.
- Fuel consumption is high, due to the impressive engine size. The average value is up to 15 liters per 100 km.
- The Gallardo Lamborghini has a top speed of 310 km/h with 530 horsepower.
- Acceleration to a speed of 100 km / h is carried out in 4.4 seconds.
- The engine, of course, is not diesel, gasoline is used as fuel.
You can learn more about all the technical characteristics of this series if you find the passport data of the machine on the Internet. And at the same time, it is worth downloading for free as a wallpaper, for example, the red Lamborghini Gallardo, as it will serve as an excellent decoration for your desktop.
Options and prices
The described model is perhaps the most affordable of all the “bulls” of the Lamborghini concern. Its price in Russia starts from only 3 million rubles. Such a price in rubles is possible for one of the first Lamborghini Gallardo produced in 2003.
The main data are shown in the following table. It all depends on the configuration, because the car has undergone several changes over the years of production. Since the start of sales was announced in 2003, the factory tuning has changed twice, more precisely, restyling has been carried out.
It all depends on how much the Lamborghini Gallardo costs. So, we have a summary table that characterizes the prices in rubles for the Lamborghini Gallardo, depending on the modification and year of manufacture.
According to the given data, it is clear that the price of Lamborghini Gallardo is not that high for Russia. Although we must remember that the number of copies of each configuration is very limited in Russia. 
Therefore, in order to buy a Lamborghini Gallardo somewhere in Siberia, you will have to search all over the country where to buy the desired model. The most common modification of the Lamborghini Gallardo lp560 4.
According to the latest news and rumors, at present, the demand for these cars among wealthy Russian citizens has only increased.
The Lamborghini brand has a long and controversial history. In the 60s, Ferruccio Lamborghini, who produced tractors and is a very wealthy man, found several flaws in a Ferrari car and talked about this with Enzo Ferrari, but he was reasonably told that his lot was a tractor, after which Lamborghini took up sports cars.
This hobby, which grew into a good business, showed the automotive world a new brand of sports cars - Lamborghini. But from 1972 to 1998, the brand was constantly at the stage of bankruptcy and changed five owners. Stability appeared only when moving under the wing of AudiAG.
For all the time, 18 independent models were released. Some models were sold in a piece copy, 120-300 cars each. And the best-selling model of all time was the Lamborghini Gallardo with more than 10,000 cars sold, which exceeds the combined sales of other relatives in the assembly shop.
A feature of this car is its engine, so beloved among tuning studios, because the base power is achieved without the use of turbines, which makes it possible to upgrade significantly. It is not surprising that several dozen Gallardos with a power of 1200 hp roam the world. And even a couple of cars with a power of 2000 hp.
Consider the technical characteristics of the most popular generations of Lamborghini Gallardo.
Lamborghini Gallardo 2003
Lamborghini has traditionally produced expensive cars, which may be why sales have been sedate. And the company decided to make a more affordable model that could spur sales.

Up to 100 km / h gallardo with a reconfigured engine accelerated in exactly 4 seconds. And the “maximum speed” has increased to 315 km/h. The gearbox has remained the same.
There were no changes in dimensions, but there were still additional technical updates:
- The changes affected the chassis settings and the regular Gallardo tires were replaced with sports ones;
- The steering wheel has also been reconfigured for more precise and linear control.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 2008
Slightly changing the design, in 2008 the new Gallardo was released and the main changes, according to tradition, were in technology. This car was marked LP560-4, where where LP is the designation of the mid-engine layout from the Italian Longitudinale Posteriore - "longitudinal rear", 560 - power, and 4 - the number of driving wheels.

Update 2013
In 2013, the appearance of the car was slightly updated, a new front bumper, a different pattern on the rims, a new interior trim, but the technical stuffing of the supercar remained the same. It still comes with a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 560 hp. With..
There is nothing to radically change, Gallardo is powerful and fast, light and at a moderate cost. Competitors from Porsche, of course, are not asleep, but there is no longer any need to face them for marketing reasons, because both Porsche and Lamborghini belong, one way or another, to the Volkswagen Group. In addition, there are older models, in the segment of which Gallardo should not fall.
The most popular car that the company (Lamborghini) produced is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and 570-4. This car was the most produced sports car of the entire Lamborghini line, no model was released as many times as this one was released. The vehicle code is “L140”.
In 2003, Lamborghini was actively producing as it was the fastest car in the company at the time, but without detracting from the Murcielago, the company decided to produce a car that would become a competitor. This car was the one we are talking about now. The car was planned in the same way as an inexpensive (relative to other models) urban sports car.
The most recent facelift of the model, which received new bumpers, larger air intakes and wheels on 19-inch rims painted in black and silver. In the technical part, the sports car has not changed, it also had a 5.2-liter engine that produces 560 hp.
Other models also existed, but they had very few changes and were most often made in honor of company anniversaries. In 2013, this car was discontinued, but due to the fact that it was very popular, they made a successor and became this sports car.
Lamborghini Gallardo design
The front part has a slightly embossed hood, the optics of the model are a bit aggressive, and its filling is lined. The massive bumper received beautiful aerodynamic elements and two large air intakes for the front brakes, which are connected by a crossbar.
The profile of the coupe and convertible has received beautiful aerodynamic elements in the upper part, which not only make the model beautiful, but also work great for aerodynamics. The rear-view mirror has a slightly aggressive shape, it is mounted on a leg and can be folded. In the lower part there are also stampings leading air to the air intake behind the door. The swollen wheel arches have beautiful R19 rims.
Behind the coupe received a beautiful narrow LED optics, made in the style of 3 arrows. A small spoiler on the hood cover is equipped with a brake light repeater. Under the headlights is a large full-width grille. The massive bumper has 4 round pipes of the exhaust system, and under them there is a small diffuser.
Coupe dimensions:
- length - 4345 mm;
- width - 1900 mm;
- height - 1165 mm;
- clearance - 90 mm.
The Spyder convertible has only changed its height by 19mm, but otherwise it has remained the same.
Specifications Lamborghini Gallardo
The manufacturer offered the buyer only two versions of the atmospheric power unit with a difference of 10 horsepower.
- The first LP560-4 engine had a power of 560 horsepower with a volume of 5.2 liters. This is a V-shaped engine with 10 cylinders, which, thanks to its power, accelerates the coupe to hundreds in 3.7 seconds. This engine in a convertible accelerates a car in 4 seconds. Fuel consumption is equal to 22 liters in the city of 98 gasoline.
- The second motor LP570-4 is no different, except for its power, only 10 forces. As a result, it was possible to achieve an improvement in dynamic performance - 3.4 seconds to a hundred and 325 km / h maximum speed.
- Previously, rear-wheel drive versions of engines with a capacity of 550 forces were still offered. There was also a version with a 5-liter V10 engine. This engine had 530 horsepower, which provided acceleration in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 315 km / h.
Lamborghini Gallardo units were offered in tandem with a 6-speed manual gearbox, or you could choose a 6-speed robot. There were no special problems in the reliability of gearboxes and motors, they appeared over time during hard use, but not strong.
The gearbox was made specifically for this car. This gearbox could be switched on for independent switching, as well as for manual control, where the driver needs to change gears using the steering wheel paddles.
The transmission turned out to be successful and later the company took this gearbox and installed it in a sports car.
The suspension is stiff, but that's normal for a sports car. A rigid suspension wears out quickly in Russia, since the roads in our country are not always perfectly smooth, and the suspension is designed for a perfectly flat track. The ride is stiff and you ride without comfort, but this is a sports car and this sport is more felt on a stiffer suspension.
Salon
When opening the door, by the way, it does not open up here, as many are accustomed to on models of this brand, you first of all notice an overlay with the name of the car at the bottom. The salon can be sheathed with completely different materials, it is either leather or Alcantara, you can also choose the color of the skin.
Armchairs Lamborghini Gallardo have a beautiful design, good lateral support, power adjustment and heating. You can comfortably fit in them, you should not expect a large amount of free space, because this is a sports car.
The driver will get a leather 3-spoke steering wheel without multimedia controls. The instrument panel is a 4-analog instrument, tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge and oil temperature. An on-board computer is located between them, and in the upper part there is a tachometer indicator, made in the form of a strip with LEDs.
The center console is equipped with a small display of the multimedia and navigation system, to the right and below of which there are control buttons. Below are the keys responsible for turning on and off the optics, power windows, alarms and the ESP function. Next we have a separate climate control control unit. Above the center console, right above the deflectors, there are 3 more sensors.
The tunnel is made of carbon fiber and has selectors for controlling the rear-view mirrors. Then we have buttons for selecting the driving mode and the operation of the gearbox, if it is a robot. At the end of the tunnel we are met by the parking brake handle.
Price and configuration
This model will be offered to the buyer in only two trim levels, which differ only in the engine. For the version with a 560 horsepower engine (LP560-4), you will have to pay an amount of 11,280,000 rubles. As a result you will get:
- leather interior;
- climate control;
- navigation system;
- Cruise control;
- power and heated seats.
The second configuration with an engine with 570 horsepower (LP570-4) will cost the buyer for 12,636,000 rubles. There is a fairly large spread in price, but in the end you get only a motor that has more power by only 10 horses.
If you want a Spyder convertible, you will have to pay 1,120,000 rubles on top.
The price of a car is small compared to other models of the company, precisely because of this, the Lamborghini Gallardo was so sold. Now such a car can be bought used, you can look at the approximate price on the bulletin boards.
Video
"Lamborghini Gallardo" is a whole series of sports cars that, starting in 2003, were produced for ten years by the company of the same name. During this period of time, the car has been repeatedly modernized and improved. Moreover, several modifications were released, among which there is even a police version. The series is a little smaller compared to but has become much more popular. For the first time in public, the model debuted in 2003 during the Geneva Motor Show.
Great popularity
In the entire history of the brand, the Lamborghini Gallardo car has become the most massive. This is evidenced by the fact that in just two years about three thousand copies of cars were produced (about the same number of Diablo models were created over eleven years). Many experts consider the relatively low price for this brand to be the main reason for such success. Speaking about how much the Lamborghini Gallardo costs, it should be noted that everyone who wants to purchase a model needs to pay an amount that is almost two times less compared to the same Diablo, and amounts to 165 thousand US dollars.
general description
In the development of the concept of the car, in addition to the designers of the manufacturing company itself, specialists from the Audi company took an active part. It is the latter that owns the design of the body and engine, completely made of aluminum. The body of the car is produced at two German factories, after which it is transported to Italy to complete the assembly. In general, the design is somewhat reminiscent of the Murcielago model. This is not at all surprising, since the creation of both machines was led by Luke Donkervolk. The fundamental difference between a car like the Lamborghini Gallardo was the replacement of vertical doors with traditional ones.
An important advantage of the model is the rear view, which has become more extensive. Driving a car has become much easier thanks to the large number of electronic systems used here. They also made the car more manoeuvrable. The standard equipment of the car includes trimming the interior manually due to natural leather, a rear spoiler (it is electronically adjustable), climate control for several zones, 19-inch alloy wheels and much more.
Technical equipment
The five-liter car engine is installed in front of the rear axle on the base. It has a V-shape and consists of ten cylinders. The power of the installation is 500 horsepower. In combination with the motor, a mechanical or robotic transmission can function. Both boxes have six gears. By increasing the camber angle from the usual 72 to 90 degrees, the engine height has decreased. Consequently, the center of gravity of the machine has decreased. The maximum speed of the Lamborghini Gallardo is 310 km / h, while the car accelerates to “hundreds” in just 4.4 seconds.
Special Series
In 2005, a special, updated one was born. In total, only 250 copies of the model were released, in the name of which the letters “SE” appeared, which stood for “Special Edition”. In the new Lamborghini Gallardo, tuning has affected almost all elements. First of all, the base motor has been improved. Thanks to some improvements, the acceleration time to the mark of 100 km / h decreased to 4.2 seconds, and the maximum speed of the car increased to 315 km / h. You can see the engine well thanks to the transparent cover. Unlike the previous version, the car boasts all-wheel drive, a rear-view camera for convenient parking, as well as the latest security systems.
As for appearance, absolutely all cars of the SE series are two-tone. At the same time, the roof, bumpers, rear-view mirror housings, as well as the outline of the engine cover are black. For the rest of the body elements, gray, green, orange or yellow is provided. The cost of the car was about 200 thousand US dollars.
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
During the motor show in the German city of Frankfurt, which took place in 2005, another version of the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Spyder, debuted. The main feature of the novelty was the possibility of folding the fabric top of the roof. The mechanism is controlled through two special buttons located on the dashboard. The engine compartment lid, which the designers decorated with narrow slots designed to remove air, has become almost flat. The rear window acts as an aerodynamic screen. It should be noted that it raises and lowers automatically and is activated by pressing a button.
The company's designers paid much attention to strengthening the car body. More specifically, the windshield pillars and sills were strengthened in the modification. The power plant with a capacity of 520 "horses" allows you to accelerate the car to 315 km / h. As for the dynamics, it takes 4.3 seconds for the car to reach a speed of 100 km / h.
Police modification
One very interesting event is connected with 2008 in the history of the brand. In October, several Polizia Lamborghini Gallardos, designed specifically for this purpose, were officially donated to the Italian police. This modification differed from others by the presence of some elements designed for the high-quality performance of the work of the servants of the law. In particular, the manufacturer installed a video surveillance system in these cars, designed to record cases of offenses. It is activated by the driver, after which, due to the GPS system, you can track the criminal. Moreover, modern technologies make it possible to calculate the distance and speed of the suspect on the way and even transfer photos from cameras to the nearest police stations. These cars have repeatedly helped to find stolen cars and detain criminals.

Gallardo Spyder
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder open roof
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder- This is an open version of the Lamborghini Gallardo supercar with a soft folding roof, officially presented in 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The main differences from the coupe version of the Lamborghini Gallardo is the increased power of the V10 engine from the standard 500 hp. up to 520 hp thanks to the introduction of an electronic bypass valve that directs exhaust gases at certain speeds bypassing the muffler section. This allowed the car to reach a higher top speed of 314 km/h (195 miles) instead of the 309 km/h that the Gallardo coupe developed. With the roof open, the car accelerates to a lower top speed of 307 km/h.
Acceleration 0-100 km / h is equal to 4.3 seconds, acceleration 0-200 km / h is equal to 14.5 seconds. Engine power of 520 hp achieved at 8000 rpm. The torque is 510 Hm at 4500 rpm.
Due to the presence of a mechanical fabric roof, work has been done to strengthen the sills and windshield pillars to securely reinforce the roof when closed. The mechanism for folding the roof is to automatically fold the material into the engine compartment of the car, and the control method is displayed on the dashboard of the car and is performed by two buttons. The process of folding the roof takes 20 seconds. Simultaneously with the folding process, the electric rear window is automatically extended, which can also be removed by pressing a button on the control panel.
Production of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder was announced in January 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The first sales of the car began in March of the same year. The planned circulation was 800 copies.
