2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Road Test Ratings

Incredible sound and performance. Design and styling keep in touch with its heritage.

Outrageous engine sound. Power and grip like no tomorrow but the steering feel does not communicate to the driver as well as its peers.

Rearward visibility compromised by the low roofline but seats and control effort are commendable.

Power-lifting nose feature and Audi-sourced controls are a bonus. Cabin space is average.

Angular styling divides opinions but is in keeping with Countach heritage. Audi influence inside adds substance to the style.
