| Re: Lamborghini Gallardo V8? What a Gallardo with a V8? Who will buy that, it will be much slower than the 911 turbo and F430, or maybe the car is for posers who don't care about speed and only wants to pose in a lambo. |

| Re: Lamborghini Gallardo V8? Maybe it will be more track oriented. Ditching a two cylinders, a few cc's and the 4WD system could save them maybe up to 150kg. The full benefits might not be felt in straight line performance. I think it's an interesting proposition. |

| Re: Lamborghini Gallardo V8? Yeah the Gallardo is kind of a heavy cow. It weigh signifigantly more than the F430 and is also slower so cuting of some of the interior, engine wieght and AWD might help the car in terms of preformance. The car will still be great without AWD, now would it? |

| Re: Lamborghini Gallardo V8? F430 has a V8 and it's rwd so Lambo wants to go head to head with Ferrari. Also currently Gallardo is LIGHTER than F430 (3153 vs. 3197 lbs according to Serious Wheels site) so without the awd parts and with a lighter engine Gallardo V8 won't loose much in performance.

 Lamborghini will not move downmarket, makes no buisness sense. The Gallardo is as "down market" as they need to go in its current setup. | |

| Re: Lamborghini Gallardo V8? They should just take the current Gallardo and make RWD an option along with some additional engine tuning to the V10 and other lightweight features like Challenge Stradale style. Fast-autos.net has the Gallardo at 3560 lb vs. 3197 of the F430. Last edited by Carbon; 10-29-2005 at 07:07 PM. |
