Lamborghini Gallardo

PERFORMANCE 

The high engine power and torque output permit a top speed of 309 km/h and high acceleration capabilities. 

This top speed is reached guaranteeing an excellent car stability and controllability. Indeed, in addition to the optimisation of the suspension characteristics, a must was the definition of the correct aerodynamic features, by concentrating not only on the reduction of the drag coefficient, but, even more important, on the control of the front and rear lift coefficients. Such a study lead to important aerodynamic body refinements (e.g. front flap, flat bottom) and to the implementation of a rear spoiler, electronically controlled as a function of the vehicle speed.
