2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The Lamborghini Gallardo ... so sweet!!! Actually, this car was very difficult to understand. On the roads, it felt heavy, probably because of the steering, which required some strength to be used at low speeds, when you usually want it to be as light as possible. And the noise was coming out from the 4-wheel drive transmission system, not from the V10 ... and it was very hard to see out of, especially when some buildings and houses blocked my view in a crossroads ... and the brake pedal was useless on the first centimenters before putting your head in the windscreen if you dared breaking too much ... and the nose was very, very low (it can be raised but it take ages and the guy in the passenger seat was still very unconfortable when we had to go over a sleeping policeman). And yet, I adore the Gallardo. Because had it had started to rain, it would have been the only car able to take advantage of the weather, and also because it was remarkably confortable. Besides, on the track ... Oh my God!! It didn't feel as much ... alive as the Ferrari, but it was at home. The E-Gear responded brilliantly - although a bit brutally - in Sport Mode, the brakes never fade and appeared to be more easy to use once they were in temperature ... and then, the sheer amount of power delivered by that V10 ... 500hp of heaven ... It was very, very hard to leave this car at the end of the day. Now, I can honnestly say that I wouldn't buy one because the Nissan GTR is better in every way, but that day ... yes,I was completely sold ... that car really is fantastic! Jan 16, 2008
