Bring A Trailer has listed a flawless 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo with a six-speed gated manual shifter that has made . staffers weak at the knees.
With turbochargers, rapid-firing dual-clutch automatics, and electronically power-assisted steering, contemporary supercars are weapons of speed. Because their performance capabilities can be extracted so quickly and easily, they no longer convey the emotion that supercars used to. Indeed, even McLaren understood the 750S required more feeling to equal Ferrari. However, modern supercars can only be emotionally infused with sound. Instead, we'd like to suggest that the antidote to modern supercar anesthesia is to buy this Lamborghini Gallardo, which has a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V10 and a six-speed gated manual transmission.
The Gallardo, Lamborghini's predecessor to the Huracan Evo, inaugurated a new era. When production of the Gallardo ended in 2013, it became the company's best-selling vehicle, but the Huracan quickly surpassed it. Past that, it's seemingly the most gorgeous Lamborghini model since the first Miura, and we keep up with the early Gallardos, which were really the most lovely of all, with less fastidiousness and straightforward, streaming lines that have matured inconceivably well.
Simply take a gander at the unpretentious Grigio Altair paintwork brandished by this 2004 model and let me know that present-day Lambos look better; you can't, on the grounds that they don't.
But back to the car.
This 2004 Gallardo, which can be found in Ottawa, Canada, is an early example because it has the 5.0-liter even-firing V10 engine that makes 493 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. It also has a soundtrack that was made by the automotive gods themselves. What's more, this one sounds significantly stronger since it includes a Fabspeed Motorsport suppressor sidestep.
That soundtrack is made ever better by the way that this vehicle has a six-speed manual gearbox and by the way that it's no carport princess, having traveled 55,000 kilometers (34,000 miles) in its 19 years in the world, with 4,400 of those miles being added by its ongoing proprietors since December 2020.
It holds its notable 19-inch Cassiopeia haggles, a functioning back spoiler, xenon headlights, power-collapsing side mirrors, and, as an indication of its utilization, a little gouge on the trunk cover.
However, considering the mileage, the black interior appears to be in excellent condition, and the power-adjustable Nero Perseus leather seats have not been damaged in any way. The gated manual shifter is the standout here. It also has dual-zone climate control and a touchscreen from a later Gallardo that is equipped with Bluetooth.
The ongoing proprietors likewise had some mechanical work done during their experience with the vehicle, with the brake sensor wires being as of late fixed, the power directing stuff replaced in 2022, and the grip revamped in 2021.
The all-wheel-drive supercar's old mufflers, power steering parts, factory stereo, and brake parts that need to be replaced are all included in the sale. Because the existing undercarriage panels were damaged while the mufflers were being removed, they are even including new ones.
The car has a clean US Carfax report despite being in Canada. The offering closes in three days, with the bid remaining at $60,000 at the hour of composition. Given that a brand-new Huracan Evo costs more than $200,000, this could be a steal and the ideal alternative to drab modern supercars.
