Lamborghini Gallardo: specs, engine, mpg, dimensions
The Lamborghini Gallardo is a Coupe sold in one generation (2003–2013), including a restyling that ran from 2008 through 2013. Across that span the catalogue lists two production blocks: the original 1 generation (2003-01-01 to 2008-12-31) with 9 versions, and the 1 generation, restyling (2008-01-01 to 2013-12-31) with 14 versions.
The Lamborghini Gallardo is a Coupe sold in one generation (2003–2013), including a restyling that ran from 2008 through 2013. Across that span the catalogue lists two production blocks: the original 1 generation (2003-01-01 to 2008-12-31) with 9 versions, and the 1 generation, restyling (2008-01-01 to 2013-12-31) with 14 versions. Every engine in the data is Gasoline, with 10 cylinders in a V-shaped layout, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No, and a Central engine position. Fuel is 98. Gearboxes are 6-speed Manual or 6-speed Robotic; drive is AWD on most versions and RWD on four restyled 5.2 variants. Power in the file runs from 500 hp (368 kW) to 570 hp (419 kW). The fastest 0–100 km/h figure measured is 3.4 s (restyled 5.2 MT 570 hp and 5.2 DSG 570 hp); the highest measured top speed is 325 km/h. Combined fuel use, where measured, runs from 13.3 to 19.5 L/100 km. This page does not contain prices, reliability scores, or problem lists: those values are not in the data.
Generations
The Gallardo has one generation. The catalogue stores that generation as two dated blocks so the restyling is not counted as a second model cycle.
1 generation (2003–2008), Coupe, 9 versions. Production in this block is dated 2003-01-01 to 2008-12-31. Body type is Coupe. All nine versions use a 4961 cm³ Gasoline engine, 10 cylinders, V-shaped, Central, boost No, Distributed injection (multi-point), 6 gears, AWD. Named versions: 5.0 MT 500 hp (two entries, 90 L and 80 L tanks), 5.0 DSG 500 hp, 5.0 MT 520 hp (two entries, 90 L and 80 L), 5.0 DSG 520 hp (two entries, 90 L and 80 L), 5.0 MT 530 hp, 5.0 DSG 530 hp. Outputs are 500 hp / 368 kW, 520 hp / 382 kW, and 530 hp (382 kW on 5.0 MT 530 hp, 390 kW on 5.0 DSG 530 hp). Peak torque is 510 Nm on every version (4500 rpm on the 500 hp pair, 4250 rpm on 520 hp and 530 hp). Compression is 11.1 on the Manuals and 11 on the Robotic versions. Bore × stroke is 82.5 × 92.8. Peak power rpm is 7800 on 500 hp versions and 8000 on 520 hp and 530 hp versions.
1 generation, restyling (2008–2013), Coupe, 14 versions. Production is dated 2008-01-01 to 2013-12-31. Body type remains Coupe. The restyling keeps 5.0 MT 530 hp and 5.0 DSG 530 hp (4961 cm³, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 11, 510 Nm at 4250 rpm) and adds 5204 cm³ and 5200 cm³ Gasoline engines with Direct injection (direct), compression 12.5, 540 Nm at 6500 rpm, and 550 / 560 / 570 hp. Drive is AWD except on four RWD versions: 5.2 MT 550 hp (two entries) and 5.2 DSG 550 hp. The 12 named lines in the restyling list are: 5.2 MT 560 hp (5204 cm³, 90 L), 5.2 MT 570 hp (5204 cm³, 90 L, 1340 kg), 5.0 MT 530 hp, 5.0 DSG 530 hp, 5.2 MT 550 hp RWD (90 L, 1380 kg), 5.2 DSG 550 hp RWD, 5.2 DSG 560 hp (5204 cm³, 90 L), 5.2 DSG 570 hp, 5.2 MT 560 hp (5200 cm³, 80 L), 5.2 MT 570 hp (5204 cm³, 80 L, 1485 kg), 5.2 DSG 560 hp (5200 cm³, 80 L), 5.2 MT 550 hp RWD (80 L, 1520 kg). The generation counter for this block is 14; the payload lists those 12 named specification lines.

Bore × stroke is 82.5 × 92.8 on every 4961 cm³ version and 84.5 × 92.8 on 5204 cm³ versions; it is not measured on the two 5200 cm³ restyled lines (5.2 MT 560 hp 80 L and 5.2 DSG 560 hp 80 L). Suspension is Independent, spring front and rear on every version. Front brakes are Ventilated disc on all restyled versions; on 1 generation they are Disc on the 90 L 5.0 MT / 5.0 DSG 500 / 520 / 530 hp lines and Ventilated disc on the 80 L 5.0 MT 500 hp, 5.0 MT 520 hp, and 5.0 DSG 520 hp lines. Rear brakes are Disc ventilated except restyled 5.0 MT 530 hp, where they are Disc.

Which version to choose
Use the numbers, not marketing names. Same catalogue titles are split by hp, tank, displacement, kerb, and drive.
Fastest 0–100. Restyled 5.2 MT 570 hp (90 L, 1340 kg) and 5.2 DSG 570 hp: 3.4 s and 325 km/h. The Manual line uses 22.2 / 10 / 14.4 L/100 km and 344 g/km CO2; the Robotic line uses 20.4 / 9.4 / 13.5 and 319 g/km. Both are Euro 5, AWD, 570 hp / 419 kW, 540 Nm, 5204 cm³. The 80 L 5.2 MT 570 hp is 0.5 s slower (3.9 s), 1 km/h slower (324 km/h), 145 kg heavier (1485 vs 1340), and sits 30 mm higher (120 vs 90 mm).
Same 570 hp, choose gearbox. On the 90 L pair, Robotic 5.2 DSG 570 hp undercuts Manual 5.2 MT 570 hp by 1.8 L/100 km city, 0.6 highway, 0.9 combined, and 25 g/km CO2, with the same 3.4 s and 325 km/h.

The 5200 cm³ 80 L pair is 0.3 s slower (4.0 s), 1 km/h slower (324 km/h), 140 kg heavier (1550 kg), and uses an 80 L tank; Manual combined 15.0 vs Robotic 14.0, CO2 351 vs 330.
RWD 550 hp. Restyled 5.2 MT 550 hp 90 L and 5.2 DSG 550 hp: 3.9 s, 320 km/h, 1380 / 1620 kg, 90 mm. Robotic combined 13.3 vs Manual 14.4 (−1.1 L/100 km) and CO2 315 vs 341 (−26). The 80 L 5.2 MT 550 hp RWD is 0.3 s slower (4.2 s), 1 km/h slower (319 km/h), 140 kg heavier (1520 kg), 30 mm higher (120 mm), and Euro 5.
Keep the 4961 cm³ engine. Restyled 5.0 MT 530 hp: 3.8 s, 315 km/h, 24.8 / 12.4 / 17, 1515 / 1700 kg, 96 mm — 110 kg heavier and 6 mm higher than 1 generation 5.0 MT 530 hp (1405 kg, clearance not measured) at the same 3.8 s and 315 km/h, with 4.8 L/100 km less city fuel than the pre-restyle 29.1 figure. Restyled 5.0 DSG 530 hp matches 1 generation 5.0 DSG 530 hp on 315 km/h, 1405 / 1800 kg, 127 mm, Euro 4; 0–100 and consumption are not measured on both.
Early 500–520 hp. 1 generation 5.0 MT 500 hp (90 L or 80 L) and 5.0 DSG 500 hp: 4.2 s, 309 km/h, 29.1 / 13.9 / 19.5, 1520 kg. 5.0 MT 520 hp (both tanks) and 5.0 DSG 520 hp 90 L: 3.9 s, 315 km/h; the 80 L 5.0 DSG 520 hp is 4.3 s and 314 km/h with kerb and consumption not measured.
Arithmetic spread (restyling 5.2 family). Peak power 550–570 hp is a 20 hp band. 0–100 3.4–4.2 s is 0.8 s. Top speed 319–325 km/h is 6 km/h. Combined fuel 13.3–15.0 L/100 km is 1.7 L/100 km. Kerb 1340–1550 kg is 210 kg.
