The Gallardo design vision was initiated in the year 2000. The challenging and simultaneously fascinating task of the designers was to cultivate the attributes from Lamborghini and combine them in an extremely individual packaging.
Its design, based on an Italdesign-Giugiaro style proposal was developed by the Lamborghini Centro Stile to incorporate the parameters of its design philosophy. The scissor door cinematic has been reserved as traditional to the 12-cylinder lineage. The Lamborghini V10 cylinder DOHC four valve V90 5 liter, 500 Hp, 510 Nm, is the concept solution for the high performance Gallardo.
Instead of the more classical choice of a V 72, an angle of 90 degrees was preferred in order to limit the height of the engine with advantages in the car layout (e.g. lower engine bonnet and better rear view) and in the lowering of the centre of gravity (i.e. better car dynamic characteristics).
Even firing intervals (that ensure the smoothness of the engine) are guaranteed by the adoption of crankpins incorporating an 18-degree offset. A dry sump lubrication system not only achieves the correct lubrication even in extreme dynamic conditions, but also permits the centre of gravity to be lowered further. The throttle control is performed via a Drive by Wire system, with two electronic throttle bodies
