Lamborghini Gallardo Spider Specification

Great care has been taken over the structural design of the new Gallardo Spyder, which, of course, complies fully with all the relevant safety standards. The space frame has been reinforced in the area of the sills and the A pillars have been strengthened with the adoption of an automatic rollover protection system (comprising two ‘pop-ups’) integrated with the air bag system. Like other models in the range, the Gallardo Spyder also benefits from aluminium bodywork and features permanent four-wheel drive.

The Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder features a number of important modifications to the original Gallardo Coupé’s engine and transmission system. The 10-cylinder 4961cc propulsion unit now develops 520hp (382 kW) at 8,000rpm. The six-speed gearbox creates a more dynamic performance with lower ratios: first gear is 27% lower, second gear is 13%. Third, fourth and fifth gears are all 6% lower, while sixth gear is 3.5% lower. The steering is also more direct and precise and the suspension has been recalibrated.
