A highly desirable UK-market Gallardo Coupé with a 6-speed manual gearbox, which makes the most of its 493bhp 5 litre V10, just 46,000 miles and an enviable service history. Lamborghini’s best-ever selling model, the Gallardo, was introduced during 2003 and production spanned a whopping ten-year period, all the way to 2013 when it was replaced by the Huracán. Sticking with the tried-and-tested two-seat mid-engined layout that Lamborghini have become known for, the Gallardo was powered a 5-litre, even-firing, naturally-aspirated V10 engine, which was later upgraded to a 5.2-litre, odd-firing example for the second-generation (2008-2013) cars.
The first-generation 5-litre cars produced an astonishing 493bhp (later 513bhp for 2006-2008 models) which was sent to all four wheels through either a 6-speed gated manual transmission or a 6-speed electro-hydraulically actuated single-clutch automatic transmission, which was christened 'E-Gear' by Lamborghini. Whilst the E-Gear system was able to shift far quicker than its manual counterpart, many journalists in period criticised the harsh shifts, whilst the sublime gated transmission with its characteristic 'click-clack' noise was the firm favourite amongst driving enthusiasts. The car presented here is a 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe, with the open-gated manual gearbox.
With only c.46,000 miles covered from new, you would struggle to find a better example of a Gen 1 car. In 'oh-so Lamborghini' spec, of black over black, it is hard to see this as anything but the perfect junior supercar. It's evident that this example has been extremely well-cared for from new, and the low-mileage is supported by a comprehensive service record, a mixture of Lamborghini and specialists, with the most recent (and fresh MOT) being just prior to auction. It's supplied with a large history file including invoices to support the maintenance record.
This is a great opportunity to take ownership of a modern-classic Lamborghini with a timeless design; a 'supercar' that is very easy to get along with, whilst you’ll never tire of shifting that gear-lever. Very few excellent examples, especially manual cars, come to market and this one, in a very stylish colour with a high factory specification, really ticks all the boxes.
