Supercars from this era never age. The interior has style and design that will never be outdated. Everything is just art.
And exterior. They did an amazing job with the Spyder. Has that '458' vibe of timeless, yet Modern semi-futuristic design about it
In my opinion, pos-facelifted models of the Gallardo will look better over time than the whole Huracan lineup.
ur mum is outdated
They do age. The early Gallardo models are fairly dated inside and exterior wise they don't look as sharp as the LP Gallardo
@@thomashayhurst6547I got one and I like the pre LP car more especially the engine. I also prefer the longer headlights and the flat bumper. Cars are going back to that design. The only thing I like on the LP cars is the rear. The car looks so much better in person.
V10, manual gearbox and no roof: This was the peak of fueled cars.
These should be down to below £50K now from good dealers, but sigh - it's still just beyond my reach. Need a roof over my head 1st along with a 4 door car, lol.
Oh man, the Viper.
Nah sorry but manuals suck
@@pedrosastrebono3516 yea, they can suck your d*ck for ya.

'Baby Lambo' is such a cute way to describe a Gallardo.
cerealkiller Baby lamb
cerealkiller and Huracan
the huracan is the baby lambo...but the perfomante isn't the Performante is...it's mad!
Is the huracan a "taddler lambo" then? It grew up a bit but still not up there with the v12's 😂😂

2:45 that gear change! OMG
Proper gated manual. Porn.
@Suraj Bala jr. yeah,it just porn
It's fake. The sound is added / boosted

have yet to experience one :(
4.7 s. :D I still remember, when this was considered really fast :D
@116118711586790918440 Ya, and it really puts you into prospective when you realize that this was filmed 10 years ago. Time is flying =/
Motortrend tested 0-60 in 3.8s
mieguistumas This is the first gen Gallardo and it was tested at under 4.5 so idk where they ever go 4.7 from.....and the addition of the LP560 etc are tested at 3.8sec etc.
***** That is the newer model.
mieguistumas 0-60 in 4.7 seconds is still considered pretty fast.
"93 million miles of head room" 😂
that is the distance between the earth and the Sun
oow lol
+greathey1234 Actually science lied and the sun is only 4000 miles from sea level.
thomascampr which sun is that?
greathey1234 There's only one sun sweetheart.
2:44 always gives me chills
Powerrrrrrr
2:47 , that expression after that gear change doe...
Lamborghini certainly know how to make good sounding cars
Yes, the Murcielago-SV comes to mind.... nothing can top that....
C Testa 50th wedding. Annivessary
Mentions lambos, has ferrari in his pic and also he has bugatti in the name.
W h a t
Its an audi engine
Busso Alfa romeo no the 5.0 was a Lamborghini engine, the 5.2 in later models was audi
0-60 is actually 4.3 seconds on this gallardo spyder. Before they added launch control, the Gallardo had a severe problem with the AWD system bogging down and actually slowing the car down on launch. Also, the gear ratios were a bit too long on first and second gear. This is why the early gallardo's all have 4 second + 0-60 times.
Imagine having a 130k lambo and got smoked by a 30k saloon like an veo fq360
I got an 08 Spyder which has the extra HP and launch but I don’t use launch it ruins the car.
He got so much energy in his older reviews.
+Apple Bee i know right?!
well he was younger.
Apple Bee I was in high school when this season aired. :(
Ukiyo He wasn't that young! LOL
This review isn't "older". In his older reviews in the 80's and 90's, he acted like a gay douchebag. Took him a long time to find the sweet spot.
"the steering wheel, for instance, is covered in a bath mat-" Jeremy 😂
Lmao, and you can never find the seatbelt. WELL I DONT CARE 😂
Did he say 4.7secs to 60, for a lambo?. how times have moved on
Kings mario it's more like 4.2 don't really know what he was talking about lol.
Kings mario Going by previous issues of Road & Track, it's actually closer to 4 seconds even. But on the other hand, that might be due to other factors like the use of a paddle-shift box, conditions on whatever track you're at, and just driver skill itself; overall I'm sure both the roadsters and the coupe alike are quite quicker than 4.7 to 60mph.
That's correct for older stick shift models. Agreed times have changed. My 2013 Sypder E-Gear's 3.5 but still slow compared to 2018 standards. Zero to 60 website shows 3.3 but I have tested with/without turbo and it's pretty consistent 3.5-3.7 in radials and 3.2 in Hoosier R7's.2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Bicolore
0-60 mph 3.3 | Quarter mile 11.3 10 Cyl Eng. | RWD | Coupe
Launch control in these supercars with single clutch transmission like the Gallardo, F430, Murcielago, 599 etc... completely screwed the clutch, so you wouldn't get the best 0_60
Yip
2:43-2:50 Goosebumps! The Gallardo was just perfect in every edition they made!
You know its a nice car when you cant stop smiling at it while watching a video.
Lamborghini gallardo is fast
Damn right
"AND LISTEN TO THAT!"
*ggrggrhrgrgrgrrorjrhhrrogggrfogogkoorrrrrerrrrr*
Yep
"The most important characteristic that I look for in a car; it's a laugh."
So true.
Feeling is not lying, as always
2:40 that noise is incredible
I prefer this Gallardo above the new versions, because the sound of this 'old' one sounds AMAZING!
***** but gallardo was masterpiece..
The Gallardo has one of the best sounding engines, the huracán in the other hand has a V8-Sounding V10
Mojo Risin agreed sounds SO good
Gallardo if you want a soul
Huracan if you want a body
lol, v8???? too much earwax??!
That a perfect color combo. 😍
+Harry Mathews he's amerivan
+Stanley Tacos *american
+Khairil Amri American* Lol, you would think after a few tries somebody would have gotten it right. ;-)
Clear Adventure I know, you guys still think American has an asterix in it
Instead of the orange I would have a deep red with matching calipers, but that's just me
Italians should be proud of Lamborghini, especially the exhaust notes. Some guy should actually make the Italian national anthem using the exhaust notes.
So, who's watching this exactly after 10 years i.e., 2019! Love for old Topgear never ends!!
That gear change at @2:48 🤤
wow, i am going to miss this fella
Zajecik ill miss you too mate
4 years old Review, but still one of the best :D i love comin' back every few month
redsprite81 most underatet comment
Wow, 7 yrs ago
"It doesn't matter! because I have 93 million miles of head room!" LOL gotta love topgear :P
Can you believe it? A manual.
Such a joy to see this thing have one.
BRING THEM BACK
The Gallardo Spyder with a manual gearbox still is my favourite car to this day
This is, hands down, my absolute favourite Clarkson car review of all time. Thanks TG for making it available.
Ahhhh, if I only had a spare few hundred thousand quid lying about, I could drive one....
Finally i saw a comment that commented 14 years ago
Lamborghini Gallardo, world best selling supercar, not because of it's performance but because of it's soul 😎
My dream car (obviously it is my last name)
*****
***** Darude - Sandstorm
***** Here you are..
You're the girl of every car guys dream...
Just saying.. :)
You look cute
I come back watch this video from time to time, and every time it gives me chills. One day, I will own a lamborghini, no matter what it takes.
Nope, no you won't...
Cassius_sb 1/2 way there.
+wiseimmorto I will own one as well. Keep at it.
So, you made it?
I always say that the Gallardo isn't my dream car, it's my future car! you got this! or do you have it now?
Its sad... Id want this over the Aventador or any of the newer Lambos... It has a clutch and stick, its small, it doesn't look like a jet fighter inside and it roars properly with its V10 engine. To me this is real Italian muscle, despite the V12 Big Brothers who has a super computer controlling everything you do. Other than the V12 Diablo, to me this seems like the "final" raw muscle of the super car industry
I agree. This and the v12 vantage with a 6 speed. All that's left lol
I would have a Murcielago with 6 speed manual those things are just beauties
Hariz Hafi. V Mburucuyá
Hariz Hafi 100% agree. Still looks so beautiful, evergreen good looks.
Chris Mahar Just get a LP550-2 with Manual :)
2:47 I made the same noise as Jeremy when I heard that gear change
Around this time I drove my friends gallardo and the sound made me fall in love same way it did to clarkson
I think he actually bought one
He did!
S-Boy when
He did.
I remember watching this when it showed on tv and thinking that car could never look old in 20 years ... 2019 and it looks and feels prehistoric
“that’s the sound of a 5.0 V10 engine. It’s the noise of 512 rampaging Italian horsepower” best quote by Clarkson
Drove this today - oh.my.god. just brilliant experience!!
i can never get bored of that beautifull orchestra.
His impersonation at 2:20 makes me laugh every time.
_OoOoOoOoUuUuUuHhHhHh_
Finally someone commenting about that 👍🏼
I really think this is one of the best car reviews Top Gear has online :D
I drove my friends one exactly like this and it did sound damn glorious. Makes you want to rev it just to get that sound
This review is the reason why I loved old topgear with Jeremy in it
This review has about my favorite Clarkson line ever in it.
"The aircon of Lambos of old were pretty much an asthmatic breathing at you through a straw..."
no seatbelt WELL I DONT CARE!! LOL
Saw one of these beauties up close at Bear mountain back in August, which apparently is a pretty good spot for owners with cool cars to collude on the weekends. It was a spyder version just like in this video, but all black (paint job & rims) with a black on white interior (that's how close we were to see it, sooo gorgeous!!), it even followed behind us as we left the park!! Great summer fun!
Drove one of them today and it was bloody fantastic!
I've always liked the look of the Galliardo over the Murciélago. It's so small and nicely wrapped. No one buys a Lambo to be the fastest or best handling...they buy it to be noticed.
I never get tired of watching Jeremy and the crew do car reviews
Same here ... I'll literally end up watching and sometimes repeating the same one days later and still enjoy it as tho it's the first time seeing it lol
i love the sound of that V10 when it hits the powerband
I had a chance to drive a Lamborghini Gallardo in Singapore. Doesn't matter 1st or 2nd Gear put your foot down and BAM! Feels like being charged by a rampaging bull behind you! Truly an amazing machine! Such a cool car
4:19 With the CoCo
+Viktor Zivina What's CoCo? :D
3:13 mmm that music makes me feel like im playing Nfs Most wanted with the gallardo
my favorite Top Gear segment ever. Gorgeous car.
That sound of the gear shift in this car is just amazing!
2:40. you are welcome, makes my heart race every time, I LOVE THIS CAR
The Gallardo is pretty much my baby. I have a huge die-cast model of it since a decade ago, which I still have today, and has been my most used car in NFS Most Wanted. Truly one of my favorite cars despite its flaws.😌
This is my favorite car video of all time. Just because the Gallardo V10 sound is godly. Can't stop watching it!
Watching this in 2020! Gallardo will always be my wallpaper
V10 n/a with gated manual being cheaper than paddle shifts. We were at peak automotive pornography (aesthatically & mechanically) in the mid 2000s.
Nobody:
UA-cam agorithm: recommends this _decade old_ video
Me, even though I've watched it about 5 times in the past: * clicks *
Also, I just noticed they're using Pirates of the Caribbean music at 0:40.
0:53 splinter cell (the clean up)
I drove one of these last week from Vegas to the Hoover dam. Sooo fun....!!!
10 years later UA-cam decided to recommend me this clip. Thanks!
lamborghini Gallardo is the best lambo
yes! finaly someone shares my point. i don't care about aventador, reventon, sesto elemento, egoista. i would take gallardo lp570-4 all day every day.
vubevube .....AND it has the added bonus that it's V10 responds well to turbocharging ;)
And as Jeremy says, it will go down in history as one of the most beautiful ever.
I couldn't agree more.
Ayman B.
If you can, take one out for a drive. I did a dream-car tour with a Gallardo and GTR and while the GTR was tuned and clearly faster, the baby lambo left a much bigger mark. It had an aftermarket exhaust and butterfly valves and it was 6spd manual....2nd gear pull was absolute car nirvana.
this is on my "to do before i die" list. but i think i would stop liking my car after such a ride and feel incomplete.
" and listen to this: (best eargasm ever)
4:05 : "it's a big hammer" a classic from Jeremy. He always think about hammers XD
Love the Gallardo, especially that V10 soundtrack.
I think the new húracan's exhaust sound worse than this, especially with the fake pops and crackles
The new v10 revs way better though so it's okay
...they aren't fake pops and crackles
+Mat Fox Well the pops and crackles are kind of fake - it electronically cuts the engine revs after the throttle has been depressed. It isn't a 'natural' part of the engine sound, it is done by a computer. The recent M4s and M5s as well as the F-type SVR have similar systems.
+Julian Taffa - Well, I feel like the word "fake" implies that the sound is created artificially by some speaker or something. But yeah, the crackling does not come naturally. I guess you could call it "forced." Either way, I love it!
4:49 something that so many cars these days lack. A proper gearbox
I love that gearbox, Changing gears must feel soo powerful.
It's been 11 yrs and skill love it
One of the best videos made by top gear and jeremy
Dream car of 90s. Youths
6 years and thes are now an affordable car
Not the gallardo! It's still about 100k for just a base model!
+ swiftripper 747 Exactly, it is affordable.
Yes alex they are very affordable,my b/f going to get one a 2007 i believe for 86 grand.So there attainable for sure.
Now I ain't saying she a gold digger...
Just seen one on Autotrader for £69k. cheaper than a new Porsche
Best segment ever.
My mates dad had one of these, and let me tell you, it's one of the best experiences of my life so far, the noise, feel, even the sight of flying along at about.....ahem, the speed limit of course ;)
The first gen was a 5 litre V10 then it went to 5.2 V10

This is the clip that got me into top gear
This is the best sounding car in the world in my opinion.
this car all day over the f430 period.
Jacinto Reign hell ya
I honestly would think I'd buy this over most of the modern super cars today, mainly with what I saw in the interior... "stick shift".. Not too many super cars Ive seen have them anymore, what with the paddle shifters included with them. Very inferior car in means of what is produced now, but Im a bit nostalgic when it comes to manual transmissions and 5,6,7 spds (if there is such a thing as a 7 spd stick)
That's because you're a true enthusiast. Most "car guys," want a manual gear box, and criticize the steering wheel flaps that change gears, and even this is being neutered further, by automatic only super cars. Technology is making cars better on paper, and allowing mediocre people to drive them, but are ruining what made super cars great in the first place.
***** Much of what I learned is through stick shifts. Through a cable clutch not hydraulic clutches is which todays cars go buy. Believe it or not, I have a harder time with 4 cylinder cars in the manual field because how light the clutch pedl is, as opposed to a V8 clutches from 10 years ago on how they were when they used to be cables. Im so used to stomping the clutch pedal down its just almost impossible for me to get used to anything else. Now also with how domestic cars can be with the padal shifters, which I have tried, its a joke to me. Theres no reason to try and fix something that isn't broken
Bowlofarthritus My "Dream Garage" only consists of vehicles with manual transmissions, I have driven almost everything except super cars and manual is the way to go. The G63 AMG 6x6 is the only exception
The new Corvette Stingray C7 or new zo6 actually has a manual 7 speed. It's the only one I know that has that sort of transmission though. Feel free to add on examples
bamaboy2711 Porsche 991 has 7 spd manual gearbox. Pdk is an optional extra. 7th is for cruising, just like the Corvette.
Beautiful car. I love the grey and orange interior
The sound in 2:47 is quite epic reminds me a sound of Maserati 250f a little bit.
I love that car ^^
0:40 Somebody PLEASE tell me where the music that starts playing here is from. I recognize it but I can't put my finger on it and its killing me!

I love the sound of the V10 it's a beautiful car.
I love the Lamborghini montage at the beginning...
Muse - Map Of The Problematique
Song when Clarkson is driving the yellow Gallardo
I heard it too I was like OMG
DUDE I was like MUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSEEE!!!!!
Fun fact: This was Jeremy Clarkson's actual Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
The Italian EU registration plate is just a cover up?
keanehgz Yup they cover up the plates purposely. He has since sold his Gallardo Spyder.
Umer Raja No it's not. This was the demonstrator. He bought a similarly specked one, right hand drive.
I'm pretty sure this episode aired when Jeremy still had Ford GT. Also, the car is left hand drive. As for number plates - I remember the aformentioned Ford GT was shown with it's actual Isle of Man numberplates during one program
joelsoares this car is right hand drive,the first yellow one I’m talking about,that could have been clarksons car they were talking about
amazing review
Those early Gallardos only had 512bhp? Interesting. My buddy has a much later RWD only coupe that has about 580 from the factory. What a beautiful car. I actually like these more than the newer Huracans but obviously the performance isn’t nearly as good
My favorite part 2:35
A few weekends ago got to drive an F430 and a Gallardo on the track. Honestly, the F430, which i drove first exceeded expectations. The sound was brilliant, the feel through the steering wheel, informative. It basically begged you to push it just a bit harder, and reassured you it could handle it (if you could). The Gallardo was super underwhelming. The gearbox, while not great on the F430, was crap. While in the Ferrari, in the corners it would grip and go, the Gallardo's tires would squeal and tell me I was at the cars limit. In a 40mph corner, the Ferrari was telling me that I could still go much faster, the Lambo was squealing and groaning. The understeer was shocking for a car of this caliber. This was my first ever Lambo, and my 2nd Ferrari. Honestly, I grew up with Lamborghini posters and screen savers. While I had an admiration for the "special" Ferraris (F40, Enzo etc), Lambos WERE the dream. After driving them both, I am a Ferrari Convert. My dreams have changed with experience, and my new goal (which is currently attainable within a few years if I keep my mind to it) is an F430 or 360 with that beautiful gates shifter (which I have tested once is the 355). Really, I got off track, but the point is this: Don't get stuck on the preconceived ideas of what a car should be like. I thought the Ferrari would be the poser, I just want to look cool car, and the Lambo was the actual driver's car that made you feel like you just harnessed the bull; when in reality, the opposite was true.
I saw one of these today...it was a good day
Love the interior.
2:40 why electric cars will never be exciting.
DanM194 exactly. This is what Tesla fans don’t understand. The point of having a super car is to be thrilling and exciting. Like the the girls chase the bad boys, it’s for a reason right?
Spoken like someone who've never driven an electric car. Oh yeah, 900+ lb-ft of torque on a P100D is definitely not exciting at all.
@@Shorty15c4007
I think what the original commenter was talking about was the noice. I’ve been in Tesla’s with Ludicrous +(?) whichever is more ludicrous than ludicrous and I’d have to say that whilst it is fucking fun, you don’t get the beautiful notes that a well sounding engine can make. Doesn’t mean it isn’t satisfying hearing the motors whir, just doesn’t make you ecstatic like a solid engine note
"quiet, Bark ARRGHH"
yo siempre he querido un Lamborghini con esa configuración y sobre todo manual !!!
I just drove one!!!!!!! Smiles for days
