What engine does the Gallardo use?
1 Answers
The Lamborghini Gallardo is equipped with a V10 DOHC 4-valve 90-degree engine. The detailed specifications of this engine are as follows: 1. Torque output is optimized across the entire rpm range. These effects are managed by a variable geometry intake manifold and a continuously variable valve timing system. The maximum torque of 510 Nm is achieved at 4,500 rpm, and the engine can deliver 80% of the maximum torque at just 1,500 rpm, with peak horsepower reached at 7,800 rpm. 2. The drivetrain features a permanent all-wheel-drive system based on Lamborghini's proven viscous traction system. On surfaces with uniform adhesion, the traction distribution is automatically adjusted to 30% front and 70% rear without electronic intervention. During acceleration on high-grip surfaces, traction shifts more towards the rear axle, approximately 80%. If rear axle adhesion decreases, more traction is immediately directed to the front axle. 3. Following Lamborghini tradition, the Gallardo supercar employs double-wishbone suspension systems at both front and rear. This setup delivers exceptional handling, high-speed stability, and comfort. The high-horsepower engine and torque give the Gallardo outstanding acceleration performance, with a top speed of 309 km/h.
