Lamborghini is producer of high quality cars. Introducing Lamborghini Gallardo 2009, the combination between style and performance. MSRP: $198,000 - $198,000
The 2009 Gallardo’s cabin sports “a purposeful cabin that can be outfitted with leather, Alcantara or carbon-fiber accents,” Popular Mechanics says. “The familiar Audi-sourced nav system and A/C controls are easy to use, and the tach's 8500 rpm redline is one of the few clues to the outrageous side of this Lambo's personality.”
The newest Gallardo is “a much more vicious machine,” Motor Authority thinks. It’s about 52 pounds lighter than the previous Gallardo, and with better aerodynamics, it’s “a far more formidable track weapon than the standard Gallardo,” they observe. Its chief weapon, though, is obviously its 5.2-liter V-10 engine. The changes for 2009 result “in a significant spike in output to 552 horsepower at 8000 rpm (from 512) and 398 pound-feet of torque (from 376),” Car and Driver reports. Named for its European power output (560 PS, the equivalent of those 552 hp) and its four-wheel-drive powertrain, the LP560-4 can catapult to 62 mph “in 3.7 seconds,” Motor Authority adds, and reach a top speed of more than 200 mph, Lamborghini claims. At speed, “the engine emits a deep bellow when pushed, and is most brutal in the lower end of the rev-range where it seems to summon the most force.”
