2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Base 2dr Coupe Overview

The Lamborghini Gallardo is Lamborghini's more competitively priced supercar. Aimed at competing with the Ferrari label, the two door sportscar delivers Lamborghini performance for a lot less than its older brother, the Murciélago.

Although it does not include scissor doors, the Gallardo is the first contemporary generation of Lamborghinis built without a twelve cylinder engine. Its styling cues and body design look very similar to the traditional Lamborghini design with a wide body, a low stance, large wheels, and a mid mounted engine. It comes ready to deliver 500-horsepower with a 5.0-liter V10 engine and a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed E-Gear sequential gearbox. Body paneling is made out of both steel and carbon fiber. Options include ceramic breaks for quicker stopping and a glass engine cover, designed for showing off the V10.

For 2006, changes are insignificant.
