Product Overview

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is a high-performance compact convertible sports car in production from 2005 to 2008. It was powered by a naturally-aspirated V10 engine that displaced 5.0 to 5.2 liters. Both manual and automated manual transmissions were available, and AWD was standard.
The first V10 Lamborghini, the Gallardo was slotted below the Murcielago as an "entry-level" option. It retains much of the shouting style that Lamborghini has been known for, alongside its questionable reliability.
Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.36 coefficient of drag to show for it. With a 13.6L/100km (17.3mpg) fuel "dis-economy", owners have to be prepared to pay for their "smiles-per-mile".
