10,000 Gallardo in Midas yellow
The V10 Lamborghini Gallardo has become the most successful model in the company's history, with 10,000 examples rolling off the Sant'Agata Bolognese production line.
The original Gallardo Coupé was launched in 2003, and the model range was extended with Spyder and Superleggera models as well as special editions such as the Gallardo SE and Nera.
The current Gallardo LP 560-4 Coupé was launched in 2007 with increased power denoted by its '560' badge, and permanent four-wheel drive signified by the '4'. The LP 560-4 Spyder version was announced in 2008.
The limited edition two-wheel drive LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni was revealed in 2009 and at the Geneva Auto Salon this year Lamborghini offered us the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, a lightweight version of the already lean Gallardo LP 560-4, with a top speed of 202mph and acceleration from 0-62mph in 3.4secs.
A couple of Gallardo have been donated to the Italian state police, and a race version of the Gallardo LP 560-4 features in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo: the one-make race series running in Europe, launched by Automobili Lamborghini in 2009.
Gallardo number 10,000 is finished in Midas yellow and is destined for a lucky punter in China.
