2011 Lamborghini Gallardo

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo

Two new models debut Lamborghini Gallardo 2011: 570-4 Superleggera coupe and Spyder convertible 570-4 Performance. Both are light versions of the Gallardo, which uses extensive carbon fiber components. As the name suggests the model they also have more power than the standard Gallardo.

There are things about the 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo that we can not share with you in this review model. Oh, it's not something taboo, such as illegitimate children, or the fact that both wet the bed. Rather, there is simply no way to properly express through words, the aspects to be heard, seen and felt. For example, we could come up with clever metaphors comparing the majestic roar of the V10 Lamborghini talents of Pavarotti singing, but they would never do it justice.

Therefore, we leave the sound on YouTube, the video of our own gallery of photos in hand and the feeling of your local Lamborghini is expected to consider worth a test drive. But here are the cold, the meat and potatoes in the analysis Gallardo that could help determine if this is the car exotic to add to your garage.

The Gallardo is technically known as LP 560-4, which sounds like the model number of your DVR, but in fact the code for the powertrain of the car. The LP refers to the placement V10 EN Italiano (posterior longitudinal), and produces 560 horsepower (a measure of great European power), corresponding to 552 horses. The 4 is the standard all-wheel drive system that gives the Gallardo incredible pulling power, impressive balance and behavior surprisingly forgiving.

In 2011, also has a couple of LP 570-4 Coupe Superleggera models are called (in which case its appearance after a year away) and the new Spyder performance. Both get more power, because of their greater quantities must be reported at the same time dropping the pounds (154 Superleggera, 143 performance) due to the diffusion of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials like polycarbonate. Shock even stronger, stiffer anti-roll bars and a series of aerodynamic improvements, as fully covered by the platform that says, Lamborghini makes these models "so close to the race" as respects any vehicle charging bull logo.

Whatever you plan Gallardo, however, it would be a much more sensitive than other Lamborghini, past and present. It is not larger than a Chevy Silverado. The doors are not scissors. No eccentric or wings. Surprisingly compact size and standard backup camera think it is not a nightmare to park. The interior controls are not only work but they are arranged in a sensible manner, with parental supervision of Audi. It's not wildly expensive - just very expensive.

But despite all this Sense and Sensibility, 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo is a wild child at heart, offering emotion, looks and sounds you expect an exotic sports car. One could point to competitors such as Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Audi R8, Ferrari 458 Italy, or Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, but they are not easily and / or is properly described. Therefore, we recommend a test-drive on all of them - not necessarily because that's what smart consumer should do, but because this sounds like a hell of a good way to spend a weekend.

Interior Design and Special Features

Unlike previous models, Lamborghini Gallardo 2011 cabin offers a very tolerable, thanks to a large extent the influence of Audi's parent. Materials and soft-touch leather adorn the interior much more than you might expect, but the square meters, drivers, and Multimedia Interface are mainly pulled the bin Audi parts. Some might complain about the dilution of the traditional Italian brand Lamborghini, but most are grateful that everything really works. Other steps can be found in fundamentally sound and a comfortable riding position and seat support.

The multimedia interface above leaves something to be desired, but the control knob and buttons are located in associated side of the screen instead of near the shifter, which requires the driver's attention too much on Gallardo formidable capabilities. In addition, storage space is negligible and that motorists will find the most adaptable and out at will - similar to the evolution of this segment, perhaps, some competing models offer supercar performance without the need for contortionist contortions driving.
