Our Review of the 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

Lamborghini Gallardo

Several things can be said about the Lamborghini Gallardo series: including the polarizing reactions most buyers have towards their car. The ten-cylinder engine is at the heart of the strong emotions, it is powerful for its class and delivers a large amount of torque.

Lamborghini Gallardo Engine Specs

The Gallardo Spyder is equipped with a Lamborghini 5.0 liter ten-cylinder engine that utilizes 40 valves. The engine is mated to a Lamborghini 6-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lamborghini.

The fuel system for the 2007 Gallardo is a Lamborghini LIE system, running on gasoline . The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 23.80-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Gallardo comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the Gallardo Spyder are 74.80 inches wide by 169.30 inches long. It sits 45.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 100.70 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $180,050 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.

The standard warranty period for the Gallardo is 24 months, or Unlimited miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the convertible market.

Fuel Efficiency

The Gallardo Spyder received a miles-per-gallon rating of 10 - 11 in-city driving and seventeen when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was exceptional.

We Think...

The 2007 model year was telling year for the Lamborghini Gallardo. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Spyder version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
