About the Gallardo
The Lamborghini Gallardo was the first V10 Lamborghini model and the second model after the purchase of the company by Audi.
The Gallardo was the most commercially successful model for Lamborghini supercars to date, with 14,022 models being built over the car’s decade-long model run. Lamborghini’s SUV, the Urus, has surpassed all supercar models in terms of sales.
The Gallardo was an entry-level model to give customers a first taste of Lamborghini, so they would upgrade to V12 models like the Murcielago or Aventador.
The Lamborghini Huracán is the successor to the Gallardo as the V10 model in the lineup.
