Lamborghini Gallardo 2003 Price, Specs, Specifications, Pictures, Wallpapers, Reviews, Photos. The Lamborghini Gallardo is a sports car built by Lamborghini. The car is named after a famous breed of fighting bull. The Spanish word gallardo translates into "gallant".

The Gallardo offers two choices of transmissions, a conventional (H-Box) six-speed manual transmission, and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled semi-automatic robotized manual, which Lamborghini abbreviates to "E-gear". The Audi R8 sports car, launched in early 2007, is based on the Gallardo platform, and uses a 4.2 litre V8 in place of the Gallardo's V10 to avoid competing directly with the Gallardo. Lamborghini Gallardo, the smaller cousin of the Lamborghini Murcielago, was design to be a cutting edge sports car that could still be used as an everyday car - a task that seems next to impossible. Unfortunately the car lacks the famous Lamborghini scissor doors, which are reserved for V12 lineage.

Throttle is controlled by a Drive by Wire system with two electronic throttle bodies. The car uses a 6-speed manual gearbox with an option of a sequential gearbox - the e-gear - providing gear changes using paddles mounted to the steering column. In order to offer exceptional handling the Lamborghini Gallardo has also been fitted with front and rear limited slip differential. To assure the finest grip in various weather conditions Lamborghini Gallardo is equipped with Pirelli PZero tires - 235/35 ZR19 front and 295/30 ZR19 in the rear. The ensure outstanding brake efficiency the car uses large brake disks combined with Brembo clippers - 365 mm / 8-piston front, 335 mm / 4-piston rear.
