Overview
Feast your eyes on easily one of the most striking and contemporary exotic sports cars on the market today, Lamborghini's sizzling Gallardo. With a mid-mounted, twin-cam 5.2-liter V-10 making 552 horsepower and feeding a full-time all-wheel drive system, the Gallardo lays down a sensational combination of effortless speed and confidence-inspiring stability. If you prefer a little more friskiness with your power delivery, the limited-edition Valentino Balboni edition (named in honor of Lambo's legendary test driver) is rear-drive only -- happy to kick-out its tail when commanded by your right foot.While the look is pure Italian, in fact the Gallardo is a cultural hybrid -- the result of VW's ownership of both Lamborghini and Audi. Thus, under that origami skin the Gallardo shares its basic mechanicals with the Audi R8 (though that's hardly a bad thing). You'll notice some Audi-sourced bits and pieces in the cockpit, too. Which is to say, the Gallardo fuses Italian soul with German engineering. Sounds like a perfect sports-car recipe, no?
