The Lamborghini Gallardo (/ɡuyˈaɾdo/) is a sports car built by Lamborghini. The Gallardo is Lamborghini’s most-produced model to date, with only 5000 on first three years of production . Each car costs about $200,000. The car is named after a famous breed of fighting bull. The Spanish word gallardo (/ɡaˈʎaɾðo/) translates into “gallant,” and from Italian into “striking”.
The Gallardo was designed as a competitor to the Ferrari 360, and now competes with its replacement, the Ferrari F430.

Lamborghini’s parent company Audi is renowned for its quattro 4WD system, however Lamborghini uses a system of its own.
