2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

The Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is an exclusive sports car with sleek, futuristic styling, a power-operated soft-top, and a 520-horsepower, mid-mounted V10 engine. It has no trouble scoring a prime valet parking space or out-running lesser cars on the open road. Buyers can choose between a conventional six-speed manual transmission and an electronic "E-gear" automatic that can be shifted manually. The Gallardo Spyder's corner-hugging, race-ready suspension is combined with a sophisticated, full-time all-wheel-drive system for top-notch handling. It's a tight fit inside, but standard equipment is generous. Options include a rear camera that helps compensate for the lack of rearward visibility.
