THE GALLARDO LP560-4 SPYDER
"The Gallardo's a landmark Lamborghini: the first genuinely all-new car to be made by Sant'Agata under Audi ownership. It also marked a return for the firm to making a more affordable, usable super sports car than its legendary dynasty of V12s - something it hadn't done since the Jalpa went out of production in 1988. This was Sant'Agata's first serious crack at the bottom end of the traditional supercar market and was conceived as a direct competitor for the 360 Modena and Porsche 911 Turbo, going on sale to critical acclaim in 2003." - Autocar
Continuing its tradition of naming new models after fighting bulls, Lamborghini introduced the Gallardo coupé in 2003, positioning this new V10-engined supercar below its then flagship V12-powered Murcielago. It would turn out to be an outstanding success for the Italian manufacturer, selling more than 14,000 units over the succeeding decade. Prior to the Gallardo's introduction there had only been one V10-powered passenger car: the Dodge (later Chrysler) Viper, the engine of which Lamborghini (then part of Chrysler Corporation) had assisted in developing. Displacing 5.0 liters, the Gallardo's quad-cam V10 had four valves per cylinder and developed its maximum power of 493bhp at 7,500rpm. There were two, transmissions on offer: a conventional six-speed manual and an 'E-gear' six-speed automated paddle-shift manual.
Hailed by its maker as "a super sports car for day-to-day driving", the Gallardo was based on a styling proposal by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign with final refinements by Lamborghini's in-house team of designers, headed by Luc Donckerwolke. According to Lamborghini: "The vehicle's wheelbase and reduced overhangs give it a more dynamic look ... (while) the dimensions of the Gallardo and its performance goals lend it a compact sense of athleticism. All this has been modeled in a single volume, respecting typical and unique proportions, the distinctive sign of a stylistic tradition. " There was no denying that the Gallardo was a radical design in the best Lamborghini tradition and worthy to stand alongside legendary models from the company's past such as the Miura and Countach.
The LP 560-4 Spyder is the continuation of a great success story. This new open-air model shared its superb underpinnings with the coupe, and with its uprated engine, permanent all-wheel-drive, revised suspension, optimized aerodynamics, and reduced weight, the LP 560-4 Spyder delivers superior performance with vastly improved dynamics compared to previous iterations of the Gallardo Spyder.
