Designed to redefine its segment as the best high performance sports car and driving behaviour that fits its driver in every situation. The Gallardo is the synthesis of a true sports car that can be used on an every day basis.
While matching these two apparently conflicting objectives, the guideline for Lamborghini engineers has been to fulfil the necessary comfort requirements without any compromise in the performances expected of a true Lamborghini car.
The choices for engine, transmission, space frame and body, suspensions,
brakes and electronics are then all in line with such an objective. The result
is a compact (length 4.3 m) 2-seater high performance car (maximum speed
over 196mph), that
can be driven with pleasure both on long distance journeys and on country
and city roads.
Mid-rear mounted engine, with the gearbox behind the engine.
- permanent four-wheel drive system
- independent double wishbone suspension system
- aluminium space frame
- low centre gravity
- weight distribution 42% front, 58% rear
- two front mounted water radiators and one side mounted oil cooler
- wheelbase 2.560 m, front track 1.622 m, rear track 1.592 m
- total length 4.300 m, width 1.900 m, height 1.165
Particular attention was paid to achieve the correct weight distribution, true to
Lamborghini's engineering tradition. In fact, the chosen weight distribution is the optimal for a sports car, with advantages for traction, braking and handling.
The cab-forward cockpit integrated in the body by a strongly slanted front screen and tensed pillars, the complex surfacing intersected by crisp graphics and its cooling flow oriented detailing evokes as in the Lamborghini tradition in its proportions and formal language a strong aeronautical influence.
The scissor door cinematic has been reserved as traditional to the 12- cylinder lineage.
The foldable side mirrors slanted forward dynamising the side view are mounted on an evolutive shoulder incorporating air inlets.
The flush integration of the door handles emphasize the lateral air intakes and like all details improves the aerodynamic efficiency.
The rear lights prolonging the lines of the upper air intakes develop an aerodynamic lip present also on the rotating spoiler, combining once again function and emotion.
The wheels, a strong differencing factor in the Lamborghini history develop the traditional round holes design theme interacting them with spokes.
To conclude, the Gallardo design in details and proportions highlights our unmistakable and uncompromising presence.
