Gallardo [2003-2013] Autocar First Drive - Lamborghini Gallardo Superlegerra

[Merc1]

Should I buy one?

Is the Pope a Catholic? Trouble is, the Superleggera ain’t exactly cheap at £145,000. But if you are one of the lucky few who can afford to operate in this area of the market, not a lot else comes close.

A 911 GT3 or GT3 RS are the only other road cars with similar focus. And neither of them looks or sounds anything like as good as this.

where did the rear spoiler go ?
Looks much sleeker without it

I think it's there, it just isn't up. This should be adjustable..

Yep! I suspect we'll see such a test late this year after the Ferrari is shown at Frankfurt.

Throw the GT2 in their and both the Ferrari and Lambo will be slaughtered.

Awesome coupe, I love the carbon fiber trim that makes it way lighter than stock ...!

Lets see if she can out-perform "F430 CS" ...!

I wouldn't count on it. Perhaps when it comes to the track, but I have a feeling the 430 Challenge Stradale will have the advantage when it comes to straight line performance (especially as the standard F430 is already over 100kg lighter than the standard Gallardo)

Once the GT2 arrives, I'm sure it'll kick everybody's ass

I don't think the Lambo looks better than a GT3, well at least compared to a GT3 RS. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

GT2 is gonna be hell for sure but it'll also face hell against the italians

The 996 GT2 is still at the top of every list and the 997 GT2 will take it even further. The GT2 has no competition. It is the best performing sports car you can get if you are not in the market for a super car.

That's true but those lists does not have the new Gallardo superlegerra or the F430 CS yet,it's gonna be very interesting seeing a test between the three cars.

what? every list? the original Gallardo matched the 911GT2 0-100 and 0-200. and got within 0.2 seconds of it on the Hring.

so far between the 911GT2, F430 CS and Gallardo SL, the SL is winning, because its the only one that exists
