The Lamborghini Family

Last week, I talked about my favourite jet, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. This week, I will be talking about my favourite sports car brand, Lamborghini!



First up, the Lamborghini Gallardo. The standard Gallardo houses a 5 litre, V10 engine (10 pistons), 373kW (500bhp) base and a 510 N-m torque. The car is capable of going from 0-100km/h in 4 seconds, 0-200km/h in 14.5 seconds and a top speed of 309km/h.

The newer Gallardo SE (Special Edition) houses a meaner 388 kW (520 bhp) base. It is capable of going from 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 327km/h.

The newest 2007 Gallardo superleggra is the fastest of the three Gallardos. It boasts a carbon body, making it super light or superleggra. The car gets 10 extra hp (horse power) and 154 fewer pounds.

The Gallardos are actually slower than the Murcielago, but the Gallardos handle better, making it a more practical and safe car.

Lamborghini is also designing a new SUV, which will house a 6 litre V12 engine borrowed from the Murcielago. The new SUV also features some characteristics similar to the Murcielago, like its headlamps and its side air vent.
