This car is now 10 years old and still a super exotic. Cars like this will always hold their value for style, sound, excitement, fun and exclusive. Corvette, Mustangs, M3/4/5, AMGs all lose their desirability once something new comes. Lamborghini is cool for decades.
I'd take this over a 458 purely because this is still a supercar, a 458 has just become a fashion accessory for supermodels and celebrities. This is still a proper driver's car.
I love this car, it is an absolute dream car. I'm from the gallardo a piston from the engine order for 280 €. I have 10 posters of lambo hang in the room, so I'm probably one of the greatest admirer of this car!
@sassy2161 The splitter acts as a front-mounted spoiler to increase downforce on the front wheels. A diffuser is a "tray" found underneath the car (at 3:40 you can see a gray piece of metal stretching horizontally across the bottom of the car's rear end). It essentially acts as a vacuum which sucks and sticks the car to the ground. Like a spoiler, it adds downforce, but it uses different principles of physics.
@katanamast279 A base 2011 Gallardo without any options is $202,000, while a Superleggera is $237,600. So basically $35,600 saves you 353lbs. That's a pretty substantial weight loss, but if you're mainly just driving the car on the street, which 99% of owners will be, than that weight savings isn't going to mean, nor feel like much. Hope this helps.
@MultiTopgearfan Slight correction mate, LP550-2, not LP550-4. The Balboni is 2-wheel drive (RWD). It is indeed better looking, however this is 20hp more powerful.
I think the gallardo uses the standard system audi uses where 40/60 is used. But I believe the torque split is around 15/85 front to rear on the R8. Audi still wanted it to be more rear-driven with oversteer coming actually quite easily.
KTO Phantom sure an awd system will grant more grip but an experienced driver regardless if the car is rwd or awd should be able to control the car so the tires wont get destroyed, unless you purposley try to destroy tthe tires (drifting or powersliding whatever the right word is)
@jetliigor Yes, they make a convertible gallardo but not a convertible gallardo superlegerra. Just go to lamborghinis website. This is a video of the superleggera and there is not a convertible of this version, the superleggera.
Best Lambo ever with looks and sounds to die for. 2WD is too lairy for your typical driver. Eat your heart out Ferrari and McLaren as this old girl shows you how to be a true supercar
@racingmylife15 Well, that is unless Lamborghini does decide that removing the awd system is essential. This change would drop 350lbs off the going kerb weight and would then add more cornering ability, relinquishing most if not all understeering issues found. I like Ferrari's too but this Lamborghini is a great piece of craftsmanship.
@urock12201 Yea I get what you are saying. This is my favorite Lamborghini because its a bit more ridiculous. I dont know if i would buy it over the standard Gallardo though. Do you know the price difference between the standard and this one? Thanks
these things are beautiful and are very fast. jeremy clarkson claims that they are just as good as a normal gallardo except with the higher price longer name and less kit. thats stupid you gotta consider the other things like the sharpend up suspension and engine responsiveness to name a few.
Does the convertible version of this car have the same roof problem as the murcielago version? The fact that you have to set up the roof your self? Does the gallardo have that problem too?
@Thebaziboy Not even in the same league, the Italia is at least another $100K more. I can say, the Lamborghini SuperLeggera is the funnest damn thing on four wheels I've ever driven. It was the main reason I have been hitting school like a mad man these past years so I can get into a career in which I can afford one with ease. I hope all the darn hard work pays off! I think after all I will/have gone through, I will shed a man tear of happiness the day I get my own set of keys to my SuperLeggera
I see people arguing over the F458 Scuderia the LP570 is the competitor to the F458 if people did there research they will find that Lamborghini is making a SV model of the gallardo deem the LP590 which will be rear wheel drive and be way lighter then this but this will not happen for a couple of year but i will be waiting to see this battle i love when lamborghini and ferrari battle for the top spot on the super car grid.
Don't count the 458 out people this car is magnificent and it would have to be to beat the ferrari, but the reason as he said its lighter is because of the gearbox, but the dual clutch is so ridiculously fast in the 458 it probably just about makes up for it couple that with a few carbon fiber extras and its not much heavier and one fucking hell of race! FORZA LAMBORGHINI AND FERRARI!!!
@lucarioguy111 I have been saying they need one of those for a while. All the light weight parts of the Superleggera(and good looks) and the lightweight(and fun driving) RWD from the Balboni. It would be another 1-200lbs less than this car.
@BassJackass In order to mod a Honda so it can beat this car in a race you'll probably pay more than actually buy this car..but even if you do mod it to be faster it would still be just a Honda.. this is a Lamborghini we are talking about..
@jw111892 the balboni edition will be the sv version of the gallardo it will compete with the F458 Scuderia this will happen in the next couple of years keep your eyes open man because it will be an epic battle to remember
the allwheel drive is great but it still needs more tq ...maybe match the tq to 550 footpounds and that thing will accellerate like a monster like the TwinTurbo lambos more tq going to each wheel would do more in the performance ...Lambos got it right ,,they just got to get the tq up on the car and for stock they will have a very fast Lambo
I agree... the 560 does sound better. Lambo has done so many versions of this car... i hate to say it... but it's starting to look redundant... like a 911. Still, the Gallardo will always be my favorite Lamborghini. 560 at the top. I was kinda crazy about this car, but now I'm not so much. I'm ready for a successor.
the old superleggera was much louder (if that is possible), more hardcore so this not came as an evolution to me. for me this is the S++ version of the 560-4 using the superleggera badge. very good but could be better. maybe lamborghini make a special version mixing the superleggera and the rwd balboni with the straight pipes of the old superleggera, making the ultimate mid-engine italian supercar
It's been 7 years since but damn the look of this car is still on point. Aggressive and gorgeous
This car is now 10 years old and still a super exotic. Cars like this will always hold their value for style, sound, excitement, fun and exclusive. Corvette, Mustangs, M3/4/5, AMGs all lose their desirability once something new comes. Lamborghini is cool for decades.
This car with this color is my favorite car of all the cars in the world! Thank you so much for this video!!
After 12 years ......man it was worth the wait
very nice
u hab no veruifivation mark ?/
that was one of the best test drive/commentary I have ever veiwed well done men.
I'd take this over a 458 purely because this is still a supercar, a 458 has just become a fashion accessory for supermodels and celebrities. This is still a proper driver's car.
This is my favourite Lamborghini on the market right now.
This is my favorite Lamborghini for sure
I love this car, it is an absolute dream car.
I'm from the gallardo a piston from the engine order for 280 €. I have 10 posters of lambo hang in the room, so I'm probably one of the greatest admirer of this car!

your conclusion is phenomenal
That Superleggera stickers, super cool
0.10 that drift was so friken awesome

@MultiTopgearfan

This guy is awesome. Nice review!
very good driving at the beginning
I think the gallardo uses the standard system audi uses where 40/60 is used. But I believe the torque split is around 15/85 front to rear on the R8. Audi still wanted it to be more rear-driven with oversteer coming actually quite easily.
3:39 sounds amazing when it revs while it drifts
Lambo could save another 100 kilos or so by ditching the 4 wheel drive system. That would make this car truly desirable.
R u serious ditching the 4wd will just ruin the style Lambo follow.
they made the balboni gallardo. its rear wheel drive only
And this car is super expensive a rwd system will ruin the tires and make the car go out of control so that's why it has awd.
KTO Phantom sure an awd system will grant more grip but an experienced driver regardless if the car is rwd or awd should be able to control the car so the tires wont get destroyed, unless you purposley try to destroy tthe tires (drifting or powersliding whatever the right word is)
Boss Phanto RWD is defintely more fun than AWD to drive.
Still an awesome super car today :)
I love the lime green and how they review cars in HD
@yunan4 no its mid engine. There is not really any mid engine 4 seat cars. There is no room in the back.
@jetliigor Yes, they make a convertible gallardo but not a convertible gallardo superlegerra. Just go to lamborghinis website. This is a video of the superleggera and there is not a convertible of this version, the superleggera.
The first generation Superleggera was in fact prettier and better sounding... it has a legendary 5.0l V10 engine...
@dejavu77pv not fully sure about the price but it's definitely Group 20. This is for uk insurance by the way
there is my DREAM CAR!!!!!!!!!
I've always loved the flatness of the Lamborghini.
the 4wd is split 40/60 to the rear just like the Audi R8 meaning it will slide just not as much as a rear wheel drive
Best Lambo ever with looks and sounds to die for.
2WD is too lairy for your typical driver.
Eat your heart out Ferrari and McLaren as this old girl shows you how to be a true supercar
absolutely gorgeous!!
@racingmylife15 when the lightweight 458 will be available there already will be gallardo succesor.
3:38 LOVE that rev limiter sound!!!!
@TheJdog557 sure
Wow… gallardo sv… I can't wait to see that.
@racingmylife15 Well, that is unless Lamborghini does decide that removing the awd system is essential. This change would drop 350lbs off the going kerb weight and would then add more cornering ability, relinquishing most if not all understeering issues found. I like Ferrari's too but this Lamborghini is a great piece of craftsmanship.
As Balboni owner I agree with the closing statement 😊
finally i found someone that share the same idea of the look of the 458...
@urock12201 Yea I get what you are saying. This is my favorite Lamborghini because its a bit more ridiculous. I dont know if i would buy it over the standard Gallardo though. Do you know the price difference between the standard and this one?
Thanks
Now thats good looking!!!!
these things are beautiful and are very fast. jeremy clarkson claims that they are just as good as a normal gallardo except with the higher price longer name and less kit. thats stupid you gotta consider the other things like the sharpend up suspension and engine responsiveness to name a few.
Beautiful indeed
Does the convertible version of this car have the same roof problem as the murcielago version? The fact that you have to set up the roof your self? Does the gallardo have that problem too?
What a beauty
@Irvine5312x6ma still would be an lp 570... theres already a balboni 2wd of the normal gallardo...
@EpicFluffmiester that depends there are some roads on europe with no speed limits, its like need for speed for the rich people
@Thebaziboy Not even in the same league, the Italia is at least another $100K more. I can say, the Lamborghini SuperLeggera is the funnest damn thing on four wheels I've ever driven.

I think after all I will/have gone through, I will shed a man tear of happiness the day I get my own set of keys to my SuperLeggera
@gilbata somewhere around Sevilla i guess.
my dream lambo i dont know why everyone is so pumped about the reventon
@speedingforfun the 4 aFTER 570 MEANS AWD srry caps
It looks sooo SICK at 3:48
I see people arguing over the F458 Scuderia the LP570 is the competitor to the F458 if people did there research they will find that Lamborghini is making a SV model of the gallardo deem the LP590 which will be rear wheel drive and be way lighter then this but this will not happen for a couple of year but i will be waiting to see this battle i love when lamborghini and ferrari battle for the top spot on the super car grid.

Not bad...Is it worth the premium though?
@BassJackass
In order to mod a Honda so it can beat this car in a race you'll probably pay more
than actually buy this car..but even if you do mod it to be faster it would still be just a Honda..
this is a Lamborghini we are talking about..
Loved this car ever since my friend bought 1 2days ago which makes it even worse hes only 22....grrr hate u mckenzie :L
wish both the gallardo and murcielago successors come with rwd
@racingmylife15 you got some laptimes? our do you just say "hea the ferrary is faster" without prooving it?
Have to drive one..!
those head lights are so sick! Looks like the Kobe symbol Nike made for him.
How many were produced?
600
this car in pearl white, (i dont know what lambo calls it) its perfection.
how much it cost?
new and used one i wanna knew the rates of both
@lilmike19881 what builder job are you doing were you can afford one of these at 22?
@jw111892 the balboni edition will be the sv version of the gallardo it will compete with the F458 Scuderia this will happen in the next couple of years keep your eyes open man because it will be an epic battle to remember
@Nonlethal106 its almost 300 grand when all is done and its not an everyday car
is this the guy from chicago cars direct????
@luisbarvalopez some? 12000 kms of autobahns is a lot:)
@WRX125rider haha it sure is every man's dream ain't it? and I love the green colour the car comes in.
awesome car
Best gallardo of the best
the allwheel drive is great but it still needs more tq ...maybe match the tq to 550 footpounds and that thing will accellerate like a monster like the TwinTurbo lambos more tq going to each wheel would do more in the performance ...Lambos got it right ,,they just got to get the tq up on the car and for stock they will have a very fast Lambo
Which one is better?? Ferrari 458 or this?? Something about this car just pulls me in more than the 458.. Any opinions??
Which 458 , otherwise this by far
0:39 i like how it says the speed limit is 20km/h
@bhere2pk true that I know a friend who graduated as a engineer and still cant find a job for 2 years now.
this is how every supercar should be driven. not just driving slow and showoff
Gallardo SV
- yes please!!!
Best in its class.
This will beat the Ferrari 458 Italia or even the Speciale ANY DAY ANY TIME ANY WHERE!
Haris11 again thank you for liking my comment!
Ja'crispy Diablo thank you for the like.
ilia toretto
Thank you for liking my comment!
That's so true! It beats it look wise and performance wise
Jan Cermak
Yeah very true and very real!
Whats the tune at the begiggning? also i cant spell its almost 4 in the morning!.
yes, the lp570 may. but the lp570-4 superleggera does 220
I agree... the 560 does sound better. Lambo has done so many versions of this car... i hate to say it... but it's starting to look redundant... like a 911.
Still, the Gallardo will always be my favorite Lamborghini. 560 at the top. I was kinda crazy about this car, but now I'm not so much. I'm ready for a successor.
This needs to race the 458. That would be an epic battle.
i was at this cafe and some old dude had one i called it slow so he gave me a dirty look and floored it out off the parking lot...i loled so hard
Eyegasm!!!!
does lambos have turbos?
the old superleggera was much louder (if that is possible), more hardcore so this not came as an evolution to me. for me this is the S++ version of the 560-4 using the superleggera badge. very good but could be better. maybe lamborghini make a special version mixing the superleggera and the rwd balboni with the straight pipes of the old superleggera, making the ultimate mid-engine italian supercar
does it have a boot?
seems more balanced and with better agility
he's wearing Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.. Nice!!
@sarokas12 forget that, what we really need is a gallardo bicolore superleggera lp-570-4 valentino balboni superveloce lp-560-4 hahaha :P
@Mrakssey my god do you have on your mind how much is 70 kg less?
whats a diffuser is it the splitter?
having to pick between this and the ferrari 458 would be like trying to pick my favorite child
lamborghini gallardo lp580-2 superleggera super veloce valentino balboni spyder!!! the ultimate gallardo!
Can this beat the Porsche CGT?
awsome car also fast
yep. its in the front, seeing as the engine is in the back.
