Automobili Lamborghini
has achieved a new production record in 2010, with
Gallardo number 10,000 rolling off the production line
at Lamborghini’s factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese.
The V10 Lamborghini Gallardo, with its permanent
four-wheel drive, has become the most successful
Lamborghini model of all time. Starting with the
original Gallardo Coupé launched in 2003, 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
same enhanced performance and technical modifications
characterize the LP 560-4 Spyder, which was announced in
2008.
The limited edition two-wheel drive LP 550-2 Valentino
Balboni was revealed in 2009 and at the most recent
worldwide premiere at Geneva Auto Salon this year
Lamborghini presented the Gallardo LP 570-4
Superleggera: a lightweight version of the already lean
Gallardo LP 560-4, with a top speed of 325 km/h and
acceleration from 0-100 km/h of 3.4 seconds. All clients
are able to take advantage of the Ad Personam programme,
which allows owners to customise further their
Lamborghini car to create a unique super sports car.
“Production of car number 10,000 is a very important
milestone for Lamborghini,” said Stephan Winkelmann,
President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The
Lamborghini brand is extreme, uncompromising and
Italian, and the Lamborghini Gallardo has played an
exemplary role in defining and delivering our brand
reputation into our worldwide markets. Today Lamborghini
is represented in 45 countries by over 120 dealers, with
the strength and presence of the Gallardo product
playing a significant role in the growth and recognition
of our brand.”
The Lamborghini Gallardo has won numerous international
awards for its dynamic performance, design and brand
integrity, from media, international automotive groups
and design councils. The Lamborghini Gallardo has been
famously featured in music videos and films, and its
client list features numerous celebrities, sports stars
and VIPs. 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.
The achieved record with the Gallardo number 10,000, in
yellow “Midas” and destined for China, will be
celebrated also during the ‘Lamborghini Day’ in
Shanghai, 25th June, before being delivered to its
owner. In the first event of its kind in China,
Lamborghini will showcase eight cars from its super
sports car range.
