2004 Lamborghini Gallardo
November 2004: 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo

This is a stuning Lamborghini Gallardo which arrived at our shop in Mineola, New York in August 2004. Lamborghini introduced this new "entry level" Lamborghini at the 2003 Geneva Auto Show which drew a lot of attention. The car is a non-traditional design from the past Lamborghini's in both styling and technology and the doors opened in a conventional way as opposed to the upward swinging doors of the Murcielago.

The Gallardo also sports four-wheel drive from Audi's technology bin which is a first for Lamborghini.
You will see some images of the Gallardo with the 3M™ Paint Protection Film being installed to protect it's paint from the harsh elements and the New York roads. Specifications of the car are listed below.
