The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 is the quintessential enthusiast’s Lamborghini, the perfect choice for public roads. Beneath its crisp exterior is a 550-horsepower V10 mated to an aggressive single-clutch automated gearbox set low in the middle of an aluminum space-frame chassis. What matters to most, however, is that the package has been blessed with traditional rear-wheel drive. Despite an abundance of exotics claiming to be driver-oriented sports cars, it is rare to find a vehicle that is not only gorgeous to look at, but overdelivers in all measured performance categories. Machines this entertaining – this passionate – should be registered contraband.
The Lamborghini Gallardo’s sharply creased styling and V-10 prove irresistible to drivers who want to be both seen and heard. Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and coupe variants include the rear-wheel-drive LP550-2 and all-wheel-drive LP560-4.
Only the rear-drive coupe offers a six-speed manual; others feature a six-speed automated manual. Several special editions, each with an Italian name like Squadra Corse or Superleggera Edizione Tecnica, are available.
