The Lamborghini Gallardo just turned 20. It's time to learn its history.
Lamborghini had already tested the waters with a smaller, more affordable model as early as the 1970s, when the company was still run by founder Ferruccio Lamborghini. The first was the Urraco, which evolved during the 1980s into the Jalpa.The Gallardo's gestation would also start in the '80s. After Lamborghini was purchased by Chrysler in 1987, it started work on a car code-named the L140.
After Volkswagen Group purchased Lamborghini in 1998, the project was revived, though it was started again from scratch. Only the basic concept, general dimensions, and the idea of a V-10 engine were retained. Lamborghini was responsible for the V-10, whose development was overseen by Massimo Ceccarani and Maurizio Reggiani. Ceccarani was Lamborghini's technical director at the time, a role he handed to Reggiani in 2006.
Over the years, additional variants were launched, including the lightweight Superleggera, open-top Spyder, and even a GT3 race car. Prior to that, Lamborghini's motorsports participation was very limited. While all these aspects proved impressive, what really made the Gallardo stand out when it came to market however, was its performance combined with drivability, reliability and everyday practicality, enabling it to be used as a daily driver by many of its owners, something that couldn't be said for many supercars at the time.
