Lamborghini Gallardo

Start with what the Lamborghini Gallardo is: a 2-door coupé / 2-door convertible (Spyder) with 5.0&nbsp, built from 2003 to 2013, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Fabrizio Giugiaro at Italdesign (initial design) / Luc Donckerwolke (final design) / Walter de Silva (facelift). 14,022 were built.

The story

The Lamborghini Gallardo (; Spanish: [ɡaˈʝaɾ.ð̞o]) is a sports car built by the Italian automotive manufacturer Lamborghini from 2003 to 2013. It is Lamborghini's second car released under parent company Audi, and the best-selling model at the time with 14,022 built throughout its production run.

Named after a famous breed of fighting bull, the V10 powered Gallardo was Lamborghini's sales leader and stable-mate to a succession of V12 flagship models—first to the Murciélago (4,099 built between 2001 and 2010), then to the Aventador, being the first entry-level Lamborghini in one-and-half decades. On 25 November 2013, the last Gallardo was rolled off the production line. The Lamborghini Gallardo was replaced by the Lamborghini Huracán in 2014.

Its place in the line

The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Mazda Mazda3, the Bentley Continental GT, the Mazda RX-8. Nearby in the Lamborghini catalogue sit the Lamborghini Calà and the Lamborghini Marco Polo.
