Overview
For
2007, Lamborghini will offer the special-edition
Gallardo Nera in limited production —
just 185 cars. The Nera comes with custom exterior
colors and exclusive interior materials. After
decades of offering only a single model, Lamborghini
added a second sports car for the 2004 model
year. Priced lower than the Murciélago,
the Gallardo was a product of the relationship
between Lamborghini and its parent company,
Audi AG. Audi itself is a division of Volkswagen.
Built with an aluminum body and space frame,
the Gallardo has a V-10 engine and all-wheel
drive. Its six-speed gearbox is located behind
the midmounted engine. Engine output rose from
493 horsepower to 520 hp for 2006, and the gearbox
received lower ratios. Though it's a true sports
car, the Gallardo is intended for everyday driving
as well as racing. The model name is taken from
a breed of 18th-century fighting bulls. A
Gallardo Spyder convertible with a fabric roof
is also available. The roof stows in the Gallardo's
engine compartment.
Exterior
Unlike
the Murciélago's scissors-style doors,
the Gallardo has conventional front-hinged doors.
The body sits low to the ground and has big
side scoops, sharp edges and curves. The cab-forward
cockpit is integrated into the body, which features
a sharply slanted windshield and what Lamborghini
calls "tensed pillars." Cooling inlets
dominate the front end, and foldaway mirrors
slant forward. Built with a relatively long,
100.8-inch wheelbase, the Gallardo is 169.3
inches long overall. Its height is just 45.9
inches. An electronically controlled spoiler
is fitted at the rear. Weight distribution is
42 percent in the front and 58 percent at the
rear, which Lamborghini says is optimal for
traction, braking and handling. Pirelli PZero
tires are mounted on 19-inch wheels. Brembo
brakes have eight-piston front calipers and
four-piston rear calipers.
The
Gallardo Nera includes black-painted exterior
sections, as well as exclusive wheels with silver
brake calipers. Lamborghini says the Nera is
intended to have a "martial" look.
Interior
Two
occupants fit inside the Gallardo. Electrically
folding outside mirrors and an automatically
dimming inside mirror are standard. A multimedia
system includes a CD changer.
In
the Gallardo Nera, exclusive materials include
an Alcantara leather headliner and custom leather
seats with white piping. In case your thirst
for cowhide remains unquenched, the climate
controls, door handles and more can also be
leather-trimmed. Other Nera standards include
a navigation system and a rearview camera.
Under
the Hood
Gallardos
are powered by a 90-degree, 5.0-liter V-10 that
has four valves per cylinder. The V-10 generates
520 hp and 376 pounds-feet of torque. The six-speed
gearbox can operate with "E-gear"
paddle shifters. According to Lamborghini, the
coupe can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in
4 seconds. The all-wheel-drive system normally
operates with 30 percent of output at the front
and 70 percent at the rear, but it can adjust
the distribution as needed.
Safety
Antilock
brakes incorporate electronic brake-force distribution,
and side-impact airbags are installed. An electronic
stability system is standard.
