Motor Trend - Exclusive First Test: 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4!



Lambo's updated baby bull charges from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, hits quarter-mile in 11.4


To outside observers, the whole process looks complicated and, well, a bit silly.

Clicking the right most e.gear button on the center console of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 engages Corsa mode. A push of a silver switch on the center stack disables the stability control and lights up two amber Gallardos on the instrument panel, the smaller of the two indicating that ESP is completely off. Left-footing the brake pedal and matting the throttle revs the LP560-4's engine to over 5000 rpm and creates a cacophony of popping and banging.

The color is too loud indeed plus most cars that has that colors is some japanese hatches driven by idiots where i live,so if i were ever to get a Lambo i'd never ever have in that color.
