Gallardo is the latest "machine is much more violent," thought the motor Authority. It is about 52 kg lighter than the previous Gallardo, and with better aerodynamics, it is "much more formidable track weapon than the standard Gallardo," they observe. Its main weapon, though, is clear 5.2-liter V-10 engine. Changes to the 2009 result "in a significant surge in the output of 552 horsepower at 8000 rpm (from 512) and 398 pounds-feet of torque (from 376)," Car and Driver reports. Named for the European power output (560 PS, 552 hp equivalent people) and four-wheel-drive powertrain her, LP560-4 can catapult to 62 mph "in 3.7 seconds," added the motor Authority, and reaches a top speed of more than 200 mph, Lamborghini claims. At that speed, "the machine emits a deep growl when pushed, and most brutal in the lower end of the rev range-which seems to summon the most power."
Gallardo LP560-4 offers a choice of six-speed manual transmission or six-speed "e-gear" transmission using paddle shifters to control the action, clutch no pedal required. It is found in about 90 percent of all Gallardos sold in the United States, and it's been reworked for this year to include a quick-shifting mode Corsa, reports Edmunds. "As before, there is no console-mounted shift lever in sight: just a trio of flat keys labeled 'Sport', 'A' (for automatic) and 'Corsa' plus a pair of shift paddles on the steering wheel and only two pedals." Shifting progress of the softest mode A to fast for Corsa Sport-which can be "very brutal," Car and Driver says. This "appropriate only in driving 10/10th. Anything less, and the Sport mode is breaking the neck much better compromise is still fast but not" Popular Mechanics agreed, noting transmitting "eGear seem less awkward lap here at Las Vegas Speedway , although Sport and Corsa mode produced right sudden. (and sometimes violent) shift. "
In addition, the Gallardo has a "launch control thrust [which] can be switched to stand Satan begins," added Edmunds. This is useful for goading four-wheel-drive to drive four-wheel-drive Gallardo System uses "all that rage horses to the pavement." "A viscous-type center differential," Edmunds notes that "divides the torque between the front and rear:. Ahead 30 percent and 70 percent rear in this case"
Handling is further enhanced, most reviewers felt. "Gone is the instability when cornering at high speed and a tendency to understeer the negative edge of the Gallardo," says Authority motor. Edmunds feels Gallardo "serious eye and dampers tuned to filter more of an impact than we expected on the open road," and Car and Driver observed "flavor porkiness of the Gallardo has been somewhat reduced, and the body roll, if there is any, is really not detectable" Popular Mechanics observe Gallardo "pushing it a bit with the speed of redundant entries, but a lift of the throttle quickly fold in the nose and neutralize the balance of the car." Overall, they think, "car sometimes feels like. required precise steering, brake and throttle input to avoid understeering. "
One aspect of the performance that brought complaints available Gallardo carbon-ceramic brakes. They "are not appropriate for a stop-and-go traffic, the problems we have seen on a number of other cars were fitted with them," says Authority motor. Edmunds agrees: "When CCBs can reach temperatures on the track, they bite like crazy and transporting Lambo to stop in a hurry, but in the way they run cooler and tend to feel a bit erratic."
Gallardo total performance package is amazing. Motor Trend said it best: "LP560-4 attempt to violate Newton's second law is a comprehensive assault on the senses. Getting kicked in the ass a split second before he was shot out of a cannon is probably the closest approach."
