Lamborghini Gallardo |
This is an entry-level sports car. It is one of the most produced Lamborghinis. It is regarded as a rival to Ferrari 360 and Ferrari F430. The name has been derived from a famous variety of fighting bull. When the project of this car was started, the idea was to fabricate a sports car that would also be useful for routine use. There exists a 520 bhp V 10 engine that is potent enough for country and city roads. The maximum speed is 196 mph. 0-60 mph can be reached in 4 seconds. There are two transmissions – a traditional six speed manual transmission and an electro-hydraulic auto clutch manual called as an E-gear.

The predecessor of this famous sports car is 360 Modena. The 90 degree engine design has its roots in the Ferrari Formula 1 engine. The number 430 is derived from the 4308 cc mid-engine that produces 490 hp i.e. 114 hp per liter. This car is available in two versions – an open top Spider and a Coupe. The former is more expensive.

The suspension has stainless steel push rods, aluminum control arms of double wishbones and a power assisted steering. The dynamic ME quad-turbo V-12 engine is superb. This is a mid-engine with four turbochargers and twelve cylinders. An extremely efficient cooling system ensures that the engine is continuously cool.

Initially, the intention was to build a street car. However, the V10 engine outputs a gigantic horse power and hence it qualifies as a sports car. The engine has an unbelievably low gravity center, 4 valves for each head of cylinder and a 68 degrees V angle. The roof is made of lightweight carbon. The maximum speed is 205 mph. 0-60 mph is reached in 3.6 seconds.

The construction is made of modern carbon fiber. It's top speed is 214 mph and 0-60 mph is reached in 3.6 seconds. The secret of the speed is the aerodynamic design. Even the windows are arranged such that there is an unrestricted flow of air. The large front splitter and the rear diffuser indicate that the stabilizing wings on the sports car cause a potent downwards force. Due to this the car can remain stable at high speeds. The car has a Mercedes-Benz V12 engine that generates tremendous power.
