The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4


In the world's fastest cars, we've already had two entries, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 and the Lamborghini Reventón.
But the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 deserves honorable mention.
This Lambo is powered by a 5.2L V10 (based on the Audi RS6 V10) with FSI direct injection, generating 560 horsepower and 398 ft·lbs of torque.
This allows the LP560-4 to run the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 130 mph.

But wait, the Murcielago LP640 can go 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds, and the LP560-4 can manage 0-60 in 3.3 seconds.......
So is the LP560-4 really faster by .2 seconds?
And the LP640 has a quarter mile time of 11.8 seconds at 126 mph.....
I think I have to change my original post.
It appears the LP560-4 IS faster!

And what does the Lamborghini Gallardo cost?
Around $180,000 to $210,000.
