Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
Not typically published in standard format for this class of vehicle, but designed for performance.
Crash Test Ratings:
Exotic supercars are not typically subjected to the same standardized crash testing as mass-market vehicles by agencies like NHTSA or Euro NCAP. Safety features are integrated with a focus on high-speed performance.
Stability Control:
Traction Control System (TCS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) are standard, often with driver-selectable modes for performance driving.
Braking System:
Advanced ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution), ventilated discs front and rear (ceramic composite options available on later models but likely not covered in early manuals).
Airbags:
Driver and passenger front airbags. Side airbags may be optional or standard depending on market and year.
Chassis Construction:
Lightweight aluminum spaceframe chassis for rigidity and reduced weight.
Infotainment System:
Early Gallardo models feature a relatively basic infotainment system, typically including an AM/FM radio, CD player, and potentially an optional navigation system. Advanced connectivity features are limited compared to modern vehicles.
Driver Assistance Features:
Primary driver assistance includes TCS and ESC. Limited advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are present in these early models.
Connectivity Options:
Basic auxiliary input for audio. Bluetooth for hands-free calling may have been optional on later models within this range.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically recommended every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, for high-performance driving, more frequent changes are advisable. Consult the manual for specific recommendations.
Major Service Intervals:
Significant service items like spark plug replacement, belt inspection/replacement, and coolant flushes typically occur at intervals such as 15,000 - 30,000 miles (24,000 - 48,000 km).
Engine Oil Type:
High-performance synthetic engine oil, typically SAE 5W-40 or 10W-40, meeting specific Lamborghini approval standards (e.g., API SN, ACEA C3). Exact specification is critical and detailed in the manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant with corrosion inhibitors. Typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specific Lamborghini coolant types should be verified.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 or higher performance racing brake fluid (e.g., DOT 5.1 or specialized track fluids). Must be replaced regularly due to hygroscopic nature.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific synthetic transmission fluid for manual or e-gear units. Often a specialized gear oil for the manual transmission and a specific ATF or hydraulic fluid for the e-gear system. Manual will list exact part numbers/specifications.
Clutch Wear E Gear:
The e-gear clutch packs can wear over time, especially with aggressive driving. The manual will detail clutch wear diagnostics and replacement procedures.
Engine Management Sensors:
Potential issues with various engine sensors (e.g., camshaft/crankshaft position sensors, MAF sensors) can lead to performance degradation or warning lights. Diagnostic procedures are crucial.
Suspension Components:
Given the performance nature and age, wear on suspension bushings, ball joints, and shock absorbers is common. Alignment checks are critical.
Brand Legacy:
Lamborghini, founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini, has a storied history of producing iconic V12 supercars (Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murciélago). The Gallardo was developed as a more accessible, V10-powered model to expand the brand's market reach.
Gallardo Introduction:
The Gallardo was first unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, marking Lamborghini's first foray into the entry-level supercar segment. It was designed to compete with cars like the Ferrari 360 Modena and later the F430.
Facelifts And Updates:
While the core 2003-2005 models represent the initial production run, the 2008-2010 models likely refer to the LP560-4 facelift (which introduced a more powerful 5.2L V10, but the manual specifies 5.0L V10, so it covers the earlier version of the LP560-4 or pre-facelift models within those years).
Manufacturing Location:
Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy
