Lamborghini Gallardo (2003-2007)















The Gallardo is one of the most popular and best-selling Raging Bulls. I could feature every Gallardo model in this post, but I am focusing on the first-gen standard Gallardo for this one. It is the first all-new Lamborghini model introduced since Audi acquired the Italian supercar manufacturer. Powering the original Gallardo is a 5.0-liter V10 producing 513 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. It makes the launch from 0 to 60 mph in about 4 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 198 mph. The original Gallardo features a rear-biased all-wheel drive system and is paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed E-gear electrohydraulic manual. The E-gear allows the driver to make faster, more responsive shifts than a standard manual gearbox. A fleet of Lamborghini Gallardos were commissioned by the Italian State Police in the mid 2000s for highway and traffic patrol use. Select aftermarket tuners offer twin turbo kits for the Gallardo that can increase power output up to 2000 horsepower. The Gallardo was updated significantly in 2008 and updated again in 2013 before getting replaced by the Huracan in 2014. Several limited edition and special edition models were created toward the end of the Gallardo's production run. As of now, the original Lamborghini Gallardo is valued between the high $80,000s and the low $100,000s. It is a fantastic vehicle and an excellent supercar bargain but doesn't stand out like newer and more exclusive Lamborghinis.
