Anyone have a source for the production numbers for these cars? It would be useful in the article.
Articles such as http://www.lamborghiniregistry.com/Gallardo/index.html, credit the younger Giugiaro (Fabrizio) as the designer of the Gallardo. Some other articles, http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_0310_2004_lamborghini_gallardo/, say the design was an ItalDesign-Giugiaro/Luc Donckerwolke collaboration. Just looking for some feedback. So far it looks like Lamborghini credits ItalDesign-Giugiaro for the design.
I think it would be accurate to credit ItalDesign for the style and leave it at that. Barring a definitive statement from one of the Giugiaros, this may never be resolved. Forty years after the Miura, people are still arguing about whether the car is really a Guigiaro or Gandini design, and there was much speculation about the true designer of the ItalDesign-Volkwagen W12 concept (officially a Fabrizio design) when it debuted. The design process could very well allow for Donckerwolke and both of the Giugiaros to have made contributions. About all that can be said with certainty about the Gallardo is that the Giugiaros did "most" of the work. Audi seems to have been less inclined to micromanage this project than they were with the Murcielago, which was credited entirely to Donckerwolke. In all likelyhood, the Giugiaros produced a proposal and Audi merely adapted it to suit their corporate tastes- a la Chrysler and the Diablo.
OK, dudes, they REALLY need to make a Gallardo model with scissor doors; the Murcielago, Countach, and Diablo got 'em, so why not the Gallardo?
The Lamborghini Gallardo doesn't have scissor doors because its when Audi became owner of lamborghini, and they agree to make it an option, but the V12's bring scissor doors because its part of the agreement. I hope that answers your question about scissor doors on the Lamborghini Gallardo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallardogallardo (talk • contribs) 02:50, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Listen, I agree with the last guy but who is going to listen to us? We are just another consumor to them. My real anwser to that last question would be that I guess they dont want all their cars looking the same.
Can anyone tell me where the fuel cells are in the gallardo (as well as other Lambos)? It seems to be in the luggage space. How the hell do you go on holidays? In your other car I suppose! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.131.16.59 (talk) 05:42, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Question for Italian speakers only: how do you pronounce Lamborghini? Is it lambor-gee-ni or lambor-gui-ni? I've had some debates over this with friends.
lambor-gui-ni I think.
A "g" followed by "he" or "hi" in Italian signals a hard "g." (A "g" followed by "a," "o," or "u" is always hard; followed immediately by "e" or "i" it's always soft.) I think the rendering of the syllable as GUI is misleading for English speakers as it the syllable is pronounced GHEE to rhyme with "key", rather than how the acronym GUI is pronounced which is more like "gooey." A similar pothole for English speakers exists with the chocolate company Ghirardelli; it's a hard "g". (Not a native speaker but I've studied it. 6StringJazzer (talk) 16:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC))
I find the addition of this picture somewhat strange... The user who added it to this page gives the following desciption: "Lamborghini V12 engine, with the Gallardo Spyder in the background".
Unless I'm missing some points and someone can explain the inconsistency I'll revert to the old pic in a few days. Berserker79 11:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I removed the trivia about Akon mis-pronounciation, since it is incorrect. Standard Spanish pronunciation of the word is WITH L, not with a "y". nihil 23:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
By the way guys, NIHIL is AKON. He's just trying to cover up his stupidity.
I had this sudden urge to prove NIHIL wrong. So I did a simple search on google for the correct pronunciation for the word "gallardo". According to the official spanish-english pronunciator for the American Heritage Spanish-English Dictionary, the two "l"s are in fact pronunciated as a "y". To hear a sample go to the following website and click the speakerphone beside the word http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dict_en_es/spanish/gallardo.
Ok, so why is the mispronunciation not mentioned in the article? I think it should be noted.
You should look better, the pronunciation of LL in Spanish IS different from country to country, you know? For some reason, Mexico is not the only country that speaks Spanish! The standard pronuciation of Gallardo in Castillian Spanish is Gah-LAR-do. Since you had the urge and did cite your sources, I will kindly do the same:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A737723
Yours, André Zamorano Vitorelli a.k.a. nihil 12:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Gallardo is NEVER pronounced Gah-LAR-do in Spanish. Greetings from Spain. Will.
Now that's quite interesting. I've recently seen some show on Discovery or something, including an interview with Luc Donckerwolke, the designer of the Murcielago, and I'm pretty sure he used the 'gah-yar-do' pronounciation. --Zahn 04:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok, therefore I'm resuming the trivia --Zahn 15:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok, Ok... I stand corrected. I just talked to them and the LL Castillian is different from /L/ indeed, it's just not only the /y'/ the arcticle states, but not what I thought it was, there is a small "i" in it after the /L/, so, in any case, Akon is actually missing it. Now cheer up everybody. But I'm still no Senegalese rapper! :P nihil 20:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Just for the record, someone should change it to IPA format.

According to MSN Autos (http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/overview.aspx?year=2006&make=Lamborghini&model=Gallardo) the price of the Gallardo is $100,000,000.. the article says it's 165k. I'm going to change it to 1m, but if anyone finds a more accurate source (like directly from the company lamborghini) that gives a different price, feel free to change it.

Hi i have currently made a new exotic car site here. I was wanting to add the relevant pages to relevant wiki pages and wondering if thats ok to do so? Please let me know.
Thanks
Richard
I feel that the gallardo does not meet the standards of being called a "supercar" due to the massive performance achievments required of the title. yes, the gallardo is an exotic (that most of us would enjoy having in our garage), however, it really doesn't perform very much beyond today's popular sports cars. the gallardo is a tad more nimble than most supercars, designed for slower traffic and whatnot rather than accelerating quickly.
if anybody agrees with this, please comment and or change the class ranking on the wiki.
Thanks, Cpgeek

I removed a few sentences on other applications of the V10 engine because there is a page dedicated to the engine itself and the information was incomplete/inaccurate. The Audi and Lamborghini engines are only vaguely related, having different heads, pistons, crankshafts and blocks. http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/66447/audi_s6.html If we want to talk more about how they are related and other applications of the engine, I think it should take place on the engine page.

I've added a few details to the Nera information, didn't put a reference this time as it got deleted the last time I used it. The Nera was not available in two colors as stated originally, it was only available in black, a combination of high gloss and matte black, but still only black. Also the interior received the Q-Citura stitching, I think mentioning this name is important as it was the first Gallardo model to offer this option (it was standard on the Nera) from the Ad Personam program. I think this info is important to make sure all the details about the Nera are present, this is not spamming or anything, just setting the records straight.

Just wondering about the whole 0-60mph part. It states 0-60mph (0-100km). As I would think many people know, 60mph is not 100km/h. While it is close, I am sure the performance is actually slightly different between the two. Just voicing this. Would someone please respond with any solution? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.149.77 (talk) 05:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
This car seems to defy the physics of power to weight ratios.
http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/download/1108_rt_lambo_dp.pdf http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/exotic/112_0808_2009_lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_test/index.html http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/supercars_and_exotics/2009_lamborghini_gallardo_lp560_4_short_take_road_test
All three instrumented tests record the quarter-mile trap speed between 126 and 130 MPH. That's astonishingly fast for a 3400 lb. car with 550 HP, even to the point of suspicion. For perspective, the Dodge Viper SRT-10, which weighs 110 lbs less and has an additional 50 HP, could manage only 124. The Corvette ZR1, with almost 100 additional horsepower, nearly twice the torque, and 200 lbs less weight, reached an equivalent 126 to 130 mph.

I've left the LP560 results up because it's conceivable the AWD traction and the transmission's lack of torque interruption could result in such incredible times, but I'd still like to see a non-press-car test by less numbers-driven publications. Alexdi (talk) 18:12, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
This article is a bit jargony for an encyclopedia. In particular, what the heck is this supposed to mean:
"lower gearing turned an already fast car into a seriously quick"
Fast typically means top speed and quick refers to acceleration but that would be appropriate for a car magazine more than Wikipedia.
6StringJazzer (talk) 16:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
I believe the following sentences in the first paragraph should be removed: "Despite similar sounding the [[Spanish language|Spanish]] word ''gallardo'' doesn't mean "gallant". It translates as "brave", "courageous", "ruthless".<ref>http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/gallardo</ref>"
a. The reference DOES state that gallant is a definition
b. The vehicle is named for a bull with that name, not the adjective
c. It's an Italian car, not Spanish (although it is a breed of Spanish fighting bull), so the Spanish definition is not really relevant
I removed the sentences but they were readded by User:Leo711 with the comment "Don't be such a sore loser". To me the sentences seem irrelevant, so I am bringing the discussion here to determine if the sentences should stay. Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 19:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
There is incorrect information about power output. It seems that the authors from non SI countries don't understand the metric horsepower according to SI which is in fact used as the name of the car by Lamborghini. So in many places where the power numbers are metric it is mentioned as PS (which is German). So PS should be HP which is metric horse power and all other places in which there is power mentioned like 562 should be "brake" horse power which is DIFFERENT from horse power (which refers to metric/SI horse power). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.28.214.196 (talk) 14:17, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm working on a clean up for the article, I feel it doesn't have much order, so I plan on dividing it in First generation: to put the info on the Gallardo, Gallardo Spyder and Gallardo SL. Second generation: for the LP560-4, LP560-4 Spyder, LP570-4 SL, LP570-4 SP and the LP550-2 (which is now a standard production model, similar to when they released the SE and the next model year Gallardo now had all the SE updates), I'll also add a special and limited edition section for the SE, Nera, Balboni, Bicolore and add the two new, Tricolore and the LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. Mike.BRZ (talk) 07:11, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
I've put the clean up I was talking about, is not as extensive as I wanted... I really had no time for Wikipedia in this previous months, there's still a need for info on the first version of the Gallardo, anyway, let me know what you think about it. Mike.BRZ (talk) 22:57, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- great idea! I guess the LP570-4 SL replaced the LP560-4, while the LP570-4 SP was offered along side of the LP570-4 SL as a special lightweight performance car. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.222.112.6 (talk) 18:16, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- there's also the STS Super Trofeo Stradale — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.222.112.6 (talk) 18:24, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
There has been an affluence of special editions lately but I'm kind of confused about them, they are not even mentioned on the lamborghini website (listing only bicolre, tricolore and super trofeo stradale) the balboni isn't there because the RWD Gallardo now is a standard model while the SE and Nera aren't because they were from before the 2008 refresh but they used to be there and somehow all these new limited editions that are new aren't. Mike.BRZ (talk) 21:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
I consider that this car does not warrant its own page, it doesn't even contain extra information is the same that's already here. Mike.BRZ (talk) 08:24, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

The beginning of the article states that the car is Named after a famous breed of fighting bull.
Immediately after, the Overview section says that The car name is taken from the 18th century Spanish bullfighting breeder Francisco Gallardo.
Which of these is true?
If it is the former (which is corroborated by an actual source), can we have the latter removed? 93.43.209.142 (talk) 21:07, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
