2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Review

Like its illustrious forefathers, such as the legendary Countach and Diablo, the 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is poster-worthy material for the bedroom walls of teenagers everywhere. Unlike those classic models, however, the Gallardo is a supercar that you could actually live with every day. Well, make that most days. If you ever carry more than one passenger and a duffel bag, the Gallardo isn’t going to cut it as a daily driver. Yet Gallardo owners will surely have other vehicles to choose from when such needs arise — and in the meantime, they’ll be tickled by how tractable and ergonomically sound this full-on exotic can be during daily use.

But all right, let’s cut to the chase. Lamborghinis are fundamentally about face-flattening speed, and the Gallardo LP560-4 — the “LP560-4″ part has been added to the car’s name for ‘09 — is even more powerful than Gallardos past. A variety of changes made to its mid-mounted V10 engine, including direct fuel injection, have added 40 extra horses, for a grand total of 552. Thanks to a weight reduction of about 45 pounds and quicker shift times from the optional sequential-shift automated manual transmission, the Gallardo is now good for 0-60 sprints in the mid-3-second range.

Other updates this year include revised exterior styling, particularly around the rear fascia and taillight area, which softens the Gallardo’s angularity a bit. Chassis rigidity has also been stiffened. Finally, the Gallardo LP560-4 benefits from rear suspension modifications adopted from its Audi R8 platform-mate, which are said to enhance the Gallardo’s already otherworldly cornering capabilities.

These updates should make the Gallardo — now in its sixth year of production — even more desirable to those with the financial means to make a purchase. Of course, there are a number of worthy competitors at this stratospheric price point, but the Gallardo LP560-4 continues to measure up well. Ferrari’s F430, for example, is a wonderfully balanced canyon-carver, yet the Gallardo has more distinctive styling, and its Audi-like interior makes it a uniquely practical proposition among Italian supercars. Porsche offers the tremendously capable trio of the turbocharged 911 GT2, the normally aspirated 911 GT3 and the iconic all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo; however, none boasts the cachet and visual impact of the Lambo. And while the all-wheel-drive R8’s performance is perhaps a little too close to the Gallardo’s for comfort, Audi hopes that the Lamborghini brand’s exclusivity will win over those who might cross-shop the two.

At the end of the day, the 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is a very expensive toy. However, while many such toys don’t feel at home unless they’re on a racetrack, the Gallardo can actually ferry you and a lucky passenger around town in reasonable comfort. Add the Gallardo’s distinctive look and sound to the equation, as well as its chest-compressing acceleration, and you’ve got a highly desirable supercar. Few cars say “I’ve arrived” as authoritatively as a Gallardo.
