Description
The Lamborghini Gallardo ([/ɡaɪˈjɑːrdoʊ/] or [gaj-ar-do]) is a sports car built by Lamborghini from 2003 to 2013. It is Lamborghini's best-selling model with 14,022 being built throughout its lifetime. Named after a famous breed of fighting bull, the V-10 Gallardo has been Lamborghini's sales leader and stable-mate to a succession of V-12 flagship models—first to the Lamborghini Murciélago (4,099 built between 2001 and 2011), then to the current flagship Lamborghini Aventador. On November 25, 2013, the last Gallardo rolled off the production line. Production of the replacement for the Gallardo, the Huracán, began in 2014.
During the 2007 Geneva Auto Show Lamborghini debuted the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera. The name paid tribute to the construction style of the first Lamborghini production model, the 350GT, designed and built by Carrozzeria Touring and its emphasis on weight reduction. The Superleggera was lighter than the base Gallardo by 100 kg (220 lb) via the use of carbon fibre panels for the rear diffuser, undertray, the rearview-mirror housings, the interior door panels, the central tunnel, engine cover; titanium wheel nuts and carbon fibre sports seats. The engine power was upgraded by 10 bhp (7 kW) thanks to an improved intake, exhaust and ECU (electronic control unit) for a total of 523 bhp (390 kW). The 6-speed E-Gear transmission was standard on US spec models with the 6-speed manual transmission offered as a no cost option.
