2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Highlights

• 512bhp V10 engine
• Long MOT to March 2025
• Only 27.5k on the odometer
• Four-wheel drive transmission
• Retrimmed leather interior

Overview

Numbers matter to anyone interested in a Lamborghini. So let’s start by reacquainting ourselves with some of the Gallardo’s distinguishing features: 0-60 in 3.8 seconds flat, 512bhp from a 4,961cc V10 engine, and a top speed of 193mph. All this seething power and fury is put into some semblance of order by the E-gear transmission, sending it to all four wheels for exceptional acceleration and handling.

And the Gallardo serves up a good serving of style alongside all this performance, with its unapologetic supercar features: sharp lines, a wedge-shaped front end, massive vents, and the ‘Spyder’ convertible roof. This one’s finished in a smart black paint scheme, with matching black wheels and roof, a black and white interior, and a flash of yellow brake calipers.

The interior benefits from recently retrimmed leather seats, with diamond stitching, and a very useful upgraded stereo fitted with Apple CarPlay. Add to this a long MOT and reassuringly low recorded mileage, and you have yourself a car worth putting in your garage.

Summary

A mid-engined sportscar is something we all have a yearning for. And the Gallardo offers a great way to scratch that itch for many people. Its performance statistics are something you won’t tire of recounting to anyone who will listen, and plenty who won’t. But even more importantly, you’ll be the proud owner of a V10 rocket which can catapult itself - and you - past 60mph in the blink of an eye.

And there’s even space for a couple of shopping bags in the luggage compartment, so here you have a practical, everyday car. No need to leave it hidden in the garage when you could be screeching your way down the vegetable aisle at nearly 200mph.
