Sometimes
the least subtle method of getting a point
across also happens to be the best method.
This is the design philosophy behind the Lamborghini
Gallardo. One of the most ostentatious, eyeball-grabbing
sports cars ever to be built, the Lamborghini
Gallardo combines a sleek, aerodynamic front
end design with a broad, intimidating rear
deck. The Italian supercar looks fast even
when it is standing still, and it is one of
the most flamboyant vehicles in exotic car
rental.
The Lamborghini
Gallardo has plenty of go to back up its show.
Underneath the rear cooling slats lies a 5.0
liter V10 engine that produces 513 horsepower
and 376 lb-ft of torque. When combined with
the vehicle’s relatively light weight
of 3,400 lbs, this is enough to launch this
raging bull to a top speed of 196 miles per
hour. A six speed manual transmission or a
dual clutch automatic help to reduce the time
required to reach 60 miles per hour from a
standing start to just 4 seconds – almost
less time than it takes to read this sentence
out loud. All-wheel drive keeps everything
barely under control, although the Gallardo
is not nearly as twitchy as Lamborghinis of
old when driven at the limit.
Of course,
inside the Gallardo both driver and passenger
are treated to executive-level accommodations
that include some of the finest leather stitching
available in a sports car rental, and interior colors
are keyed to the exterior paint. Drivers also
benefit from a rear-view camera that is essential
equipment when it comes time to back up –
there is very little that can be seen in the
rear-view mirror other than the spectacular
engine bay.
The Lamborghini
Gallardo is one of the most powerful and exciting
cars available as a Atlanta luxury car rental. The
combination of Italian heritage and mind-twisting
performance numbers make it a difficult competitor
to beat.
