Lamborghini Gallardo
Exterior
Although it may look like the larger Murcielago, when you put the two hip-high supercars next to each other, the Gallardo immediately appears more compact and blunter.The Gallardo seems somehow less extreme than its larger sibling – the restyled Murcielago LP460 – though it is polar opposite.
As sharp creases and angles on the strategy to carve a unique look for itself, it does something different than arch-rival Ferrari, whose Gallardo competitor – the F430 – bulges with curves and rounded shapes. The Gallardo’s overall form is more harmonious than the F430, despite its edgy, aggressive look.
Interior
Audi’s influence in improving the quality of the inside of Gallardo is obvious: plenty of properly fitting leather and soft-touch materials; knobs, buttons and switches straight out of an Audi A6 sedan.
Seating is comfortable enough to accommodate the occasional road trip. Unless the passenger seat is empty, there’s no carrying space inside the cockpit, but short drivers might squeeze a purse or briefcase behind the seat. A small rolling carry-on bag can be hold in a trunk in the very nose of the car. Though not as flamboyant as the exterior, the interior styling is still suitable for a vehicle that commands such a high price of admission.

The V10 produces a sweet soundtrack at full throttle, truly befitting a Lamborghini. The Gallardo is capable of warp speed from any gear with its 520 hp on tap. This is because the big V10 and AWD system make the Gallardo a bit portly for this class of car. The brakes can be inconsistent in feel when pushed to their limit, even though they are immensely powerful. However, there’s plenty to like about the Gallardo. The new suspension updates help the car be a more willing handling partner. When the roads are slick and unfamiliar, the Gallardo is indeed the car you need, thanks to that AWD system.
