GALLARDO
POLICE CAR
The Gallardo (pronounced ga-yar-doh) is named after one of
the original five breeds of fighting bull. Created in Santa
Maria, Spain in the XVIII century by Francisco Gallardo and
his brothers, the breed became known for its good looks and
strength, characteristics reflected in the new car. Initiated
in 2000, the Gallardo was designed by Luc Donckerwolke. A
compact 4.3-metre mid-engine two-seater coupe, it is capable
of maximum speeds well in excess of 300 km/h and can be driven
both on an every day basis and on the racetrack. The aluminium
space frame and body panels together with thermal plastic
front and rear bumpers achieve a dry weight of only 1,430
kilos in spite of the car¡¯s 4-wheel-drive system.
The V10 DOHC four valve V90-degree 5-litre engine produces
500Hp with 510Nm. The wheels are 8.5x19 front and 11x19 rear
fitted with 8-pot brake caliper/365mm front discs and 4-pot
brake caliper/335mm rear discs. The transmission is 6-speed
manual as standard or optional 6-speed sequential E-gear paddle
shift. A see-through glass panel engine cover is available
as an alternative to the standard louvre type cover.
