Thx Gallardo for saving the lambo and making some of our childhoods in nfs most wanted
Ferrari had another slow model called the Mondial. The Ferrari Mondial was a slow car which to me the Lamborghini Jalpa looked better. The idea that I like is that two Lamborghini Urraco V8s put together created the Power Plant of my favorite supercar the Moroder Cizeta v16t
I don't understand why McLaren get flack for looking the same when Lamborghini don't. Can't tell the difference between a Gallardo and Mercielago at a distance. Can't tell the difference between an Aventador and a Hurracan. Can barely tell the difference between the generations. All the "one offs" are just body kitted regular ones so look roughly the same.
I don't have a problem with Lamborghini doing that. I just have a problem with the free pass they get that McLaren don't.
Awesome car. This is the only supercar I ever drove. I got gifted a race day at Zandvoort and the Gallardo was the final car in the buildup. Never felt anything like it.
Lambo is the Rocky Balboa of the exotic car world, the eternal underdog, but who ultimatly always end up beating the favorite.
Ferrari are for people who are born rich, Lambo are for people who BECAME rich, by that i mean by themselve, not because daddy run a hedgefund.
and say what you want, but not a single brand was pinned on so many walls in so many generations.
also i'm eating crow being among the ney sayers back then, but ever since they're run by audi, they aren't just look alone but genuinely great cars.
if tomorrow i was on the market for a high price exotic, my money will go to the raging bull, defenetly !
Lambo only exist because they are owned by VW. So the car that saves them is probably VW Golf.
Lamborghini should stick to selling tractors. Audi improved the rubbish, but you can only polish a turd so much
lamborghini reventon?????
To think I met a Gallardo owner earlier today ๐ฅฒ YouTube algorithm๐ฅน๐ฅ๐ฅ
Isnโt there an adventador. Ok. You just mentioned it right at the end.
When the Huracan first came out, many people including me didn't like the design that much, I still don't like it much, Gallardo looks better. And Aventador is the best Lambo design.
My most disliked Lamborghini ๐
Lamborghini Gallardo was my first car crushโค๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ
Electric cars have no soul!!
Gallardo is just a more expensive version of the Audi R8 thatโs why the parts are so interchangeable just saying and Iโll take a lambo over any other super car because the rest are just generic
Because Audi bought them!
And now they have aducity to make cars only for the elties
13:11 nice lil beat
791 Urracos builtโฆ
Also the voice actor of Tanjiro has one
What about Diablo murcielago aventador?
Lamborghini haters says that lambo is pro car
I love my super trofeo!
The e gear single clutch auto manual is vastly under rated. Such an amazing experience.
14:36 which version is this black beauty?? Me wish me own. =O
I like how yall are always way wrong. And it still didn't beat the Pcar since it was owned buy audi which was part of porsche's group. ๐ Can't beat them join them.
Lamborghini has a long history of only existing because one car saved them. This is nothing new.
They sold 122 350 GT's, 275 400 GT's… but that was not enough to make the car production profitable, and even though still in the era of Ferrucio Lamborghini's ownership, and agricultural equipment production, there were questions as to how viable the continued car production would be.
But then they release Muira, considered the world's first true Supercar. (yes the Bugatti Atlantic and Mercedes Benz 300SL have been touted as such, but the Muira set the template for all Supercars to come)…. and they sold 765…. even though it was more expensive than the first offerings. Made bank on that to some extent.
Starting with a period overlapping with the Muira, from 1968 … all the way through 1978… they sold over 1200 of their big GT machine, the Espada, but then in about the same period, they lost money on the Islero, to some extent, only selling about 220, and only about 320 Jarma's, so again, moving through the early 70s, one car was keeping them afloat.
Then though, in the mid 70s, they took aim at smaller Ferraris, and released the Uraco with a V8… and they sold like… 770 odd of them. However, they also began selling a monster V12 machine, which would go on to become an icon, called the Countach, in that period…. but initially, it did NOT sell well. I mean, it sold OK, but through the 70s in to the early eighties… they sold around 710 cars…. but when the QV, and later, towards the end of the 80s, the 25th Anniversary model was released… they sold like 600+ of BOTH, managing to recover what the initial slow sales had done to chip away at what Uraco made them.
In that same period however, up to say 1990, they also built the Silhouette… and only sold 55…. and the Jalpa… and only sold about 400, and of course… dropped the first real performance SUV with the LM002… and only sold about 320. So they were still making cars which were not making them the money they ideally should have, kind of propped up by the Uraco, and later Countach models.
It was bad. So bad, they wound up going under. They were sold to Chrysler. Yet, they had been working on a new car when this happened… so they went to the new parent company, and asked for the cash to make it. The problem was, however, that Chrysler was engaging in something of a Hail Mary play, by buying them, hoping they might add something, and with some American sensibilities and manufacturing experience, be made profitable… and thus prove a nice income stream…..because Chrysler kind of had no money either, in reality.
Nevertheless, remarkably, the Chrysler bean counters said yes. A 'Thumbs Up' was given, a light of green flashed… and so off Lamborghini went, and built the car.
They called that car the Diablo: They would go on to sell about 2500 of them all told in a ten year-ish run. Again, like the Muria, and Countach, it would go on to become an ICON and basically keep them with their foot in the game.
Eventually, one of the most iconic cars ever made was replaced by the Murcielago. Of course, now we are in the 21st century. They sold about 500 more of them than they did the Diablo… and now they had a big new German parent company…… but the cars were more expensive to make, had higher standards to meet, so selling about 3000 of them was not ideal for profitability.
Luckily, we get to this car. The Gallardo came along, and thanks to sharing a lot of development with one of the parent companies other marques' project, including sharing an engine…. they could make it cheaper… and they could SELL it cheaper… and sell it, they DID. Well over 7000 of them, more than any other Lamborghini model. However, it is just one brand saving model, among a stable of brand saving models which have come along and kept Lamborghini out of the grave in the last 60 odd years.
Fortunately, the Aventador came along, and like the Muira, Countach (eventually) and Diablo, it sold VERY well… sold about as many as the Gallardo, even though it was their flagship hypercar, and the Murcielago did not sell as well as it ideally needed to for the Gallardo NOT to save their asses. Since then, things have been looking up more and more.
And the Diablo ???
What happened to Ferrari, they really fell off compared to Lamborghini, mclaren, porche and dodge.
Lamborghini getting rid of the v-10 sucks ass. I hope the bottom falls out of their bank account for becoming tree hugger for zero reson
14,000 Gallardoโs were soldโฆ so theyโre the supercar equivalent of a Camry. A supercar for the great unwashed masses. Hardly enticing. Iโll stick with the elitism of Ferrari.
Ferrari is too stuck up on themselves, I wouldn't touch a Ferrari with a ten foot pole ,I'll take a Lamborghini instead
"Many manufactures just threw shit at the wall."……….and the following second a still picture of a 2022 Jeep Liberty appears in an ad
Priceless!
I'd pick the Gallardo eveytime especially the Gen1 with that 5.0L
