Talk:Lamborghini Gallardo

message: 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)

message: 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.
:Italian speaker here. Yes, it's lam-bor-GUI-ni, accent on the penultimate syllable, with a hard "g", same as in "good". If spelled "Lamborgini", then it would be pronounced lam-bor-DJEE-ni, same sound as the "j" in "jack".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.217.72.150 (talk) 18:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronounciation 

message: 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".
# As far as I know the Gallardo has a V10 engine, not a V12. Is this a typo or what?
# The car next to the engine looks like the Murcielago, not the Gallardo.
# The only Gallardo I see in the picture is the other white car partly hidden by the woman on the left.
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'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.

thread_title:  External Link 

message: 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
: It's still exclusive enough to be called a supercar.  I don't think you'll find many people willing to change its classification.  Also, can everybody please start signing their entries here?  Four tildes - ~~~~.  It's not hard. --Vossanova o< 19:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Porsche 911 is in the same class and it's listed as a sportscar too; i'd say the Gallardo is in that class too. Supercar should be reserved for completely unattainable cars like the Reventon. 129.125.180.53 (talk) 14:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Super Car status is attaiained by only a few cars on the whole planet. Enzo Ferrari, Mercdes McLaren SLR, Buggati Veyron to name the top ones in no specific order. Gallardo is no where close to the supercar class. Even the Murcielago doesn't come under the Supercar class and Gallardo is just a 'baby Lambo'. Neptune000 (talk) 19:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

text: These sort of categories are subject to inflation. Years ago less than 400 HP were enough to be a supercar (Lamborghini Countach). These days I think circa 500 HP should still suffice to be a supercar (Gallardo, F430). Even if the BMW M5 and similar saloons have also 500 HP, they are heavier and so different enough. Jeremy have called cars like the Enzo and the Veyron hypercars to distinguish them from your average supercar. The Reventon is just a Murciélago for very rich collectors, so it doesn't need to be in a different category. Rps (talk) 16:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: 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. WikiBull (talk) 07:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

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.

thread_title:  LP560 performance 

message: 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.

replies: text: Agreed. The whole sentence "The result was a much improved car, it handled and turned in better, sounded better under full throttle and the extra power and lower gearing turned an already fast car into a seriously quick one." sounds like it was written by Jeremy Clarkson.

thread_title:  Wording and Style 

message: I believe the following sentences in the first paragraph should be removed: "Despite similar sounding the Spanish word gallardo doesn't mean "gallant". It translates as "brave", "courageous", "ruthless".http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/gallardo"
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)

thread_title:  Gallardo and gallant 

message: 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)

message: 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.

message: 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.
