2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 - First Drive Review
Hugging the outside wall of the banking at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at about 130 miles per hour, we had a thought: “This dash-top stitching looks perfect.”
Yes, the fencing was whizzing by in a blur, along with banner ads for cigarettes and motor oil and car wax and other assorted stuff. We were coming up fast on the braking cones that would prepare us for our slow, second-gear, 170-degree left-hander leading into the infield road-course portion of our track drive of the 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, and we’re focusing on dash stitching?
Well, it is really nice. But we wouldn’t have noticed it—at least not right then—if the new Gallardo weren’t so calm, so collected, and so composed at that speed. Indeed, it was only at about 120 mph that we even started hearing any wind noise. This is a car that lives for triple-digit speeds.

i agree 100%. my personal opinion, lambo is doing a much better job than ferrari these days. don't get me wrong, while ferrari is still great, i don't think they're getting any more attractive and maybe even less attractive. lambo on the other hand seems to be getting better and better. maybe i'm just biased as i've always preferred lambo over ferrari, but still...

Absolutely gorgeous. If I saw all those Lambos lined up I would probably die.

Wow, the Gallardo has finally turned away from being just a more affordable Lamborghini and made itself a totally unique identity. It's like a funner, easier to manage, Murcielago.

In my opinion there's not much better than a white lambo.

Meh, just another car trying to look cool.
Just kidding. How can I say that?! I don't have anything original to say, so I'll quote S4. "Absolutely gorgeous"!!!!!!!!!!
