A total of 33 different model variants of the Lamborghini Gallardo (2003-2013) were built. From the initial models Gallardo, Gallardo Spyder, Gallardo Superleggera until the facelift came in 2008. Then came the models with Gallardo LP 560-4 to Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante, which was followed by another facelift in 2012 and then these special models were called, for example, Gallardo SE, Gallardo LP 560-4 Gold Edition or Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. However, there were also single pieces like Gallardo V8 or the police vehicle for the Italian highway police (Polizia Stradale) dsd also for advertising purposes was used.

The top speed from 315 to 325 km/h with the LP 570-4 Superleggera. The acceleration from 0-100 km/h goes from 4,0 sec. down to 3,4 sec. and for these performances there is always a V10 mid-engine, the first years with 4961 cm³, from 2008 then with 5204 cm³.
