THE LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO
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. Displacing 5.0 liters, the Gallardo's sonorous quad-cam V10 had four valves per cylinder, making its 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 styling team, headed by Luc Donckerwolke. 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.
Launched at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, the successor Gallardo LP560-4 (560PS, 4-wheel drive) was a significant advance, powered by a new, uneven firing and more economical 5.2-liter V10 engine featuring direct fuel injection and producing 552bhp. At the same time the E-gear was revised to offer a Corsa mode that made shifts 40% quicker than before and also reduced the amount of traction control intervention. A 'Thrust Mode' launch control system was added also. Some 20kg lighter than its predecessor, the LP560-4 could accelerate from 0-100km / h (62mph) in 3.7 seconds and had a top speed of 325km / h (202mph).
THE CAR OFFERED
This striking 2009 Gallardo incorporates the refinements and high-performance improvements of the renowned LP560-4 package. It is highly equipped with over $36,000 in options, including Bianco Monocerus paint, black-finish wheels, E-Gear transmission, heated electrically adjustable seats, Q-Citura leather interior, leather package, branding package, travel package, style package, transparent engine lid, satellite navigation, and more. The car looks particularly crisp in white with gloss black wheels, subtly highlighted by red calipers... as if any Lamborghini could be accused of being subtle! Opening the conventionally hinged door reveals a striking two-tone black and white leather interior, with optional diamond pattern inserts and contrasting stitching. The overall effect is superb, with an aggressive, yet sophisticated style.
Sold new via Lamborghini Dallas and with ownership history in Texas and Florida, it has accrued just 22,300 miles from new (recorded at cataloguing), with regular maintenance noted on the clean CARFAX and Autocheck reports. Reflective of its outstanding condition and enthusiastic ownership, this car earned Best in Class in the Modern Sports Car category at the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival Concours. The window sticker, owner's manuals, fitted car cover, trickle charger, and spare keys are included.
There is a good reason why the Gallardo is the best-selling Lamborghini of all time as seamlessly melds the legendary style, panache, and breathtaking performance synonymous with the Sant'Agata firm with previously unseen refinement and build quality. This 2009 LP560-4 is a collector-quality example, strikingly presented with a host of desirable options.
