Smooth dimensions, traditional “non-Lamborghini”
doors and a larger, more conventional cockpit
make the 2008 Gallardo Spyder surprisingly
different from traditional Lamborghini’s.
And, while the exotic car rental still has
the Lamborghini sports car image, it’s
a lot easier to drive and equally as livable.
Characterized
by a 5.0-liter V10 engine, the all-wheel drive
Gallardo Spyder produces 512 horsepower and
376 pound-feet or torque. Though a six-speed
automatic transmission, known as e-gear, is
optional, the sports car comes standard with
a manual six-speed and gated metal shifter.
Reaching speeds of up to 195mph, the car can
sprint from zero to 60mph in just four seconds.
Standard equipment includes 19-inch wheels,
an automatically extending rear spoiler, bi-xenon
headlights and a fully powered soft top and
integrated tonneau cover.
Drivers
who choose the Gallardo Spyder as a luxury
car rental appreciate the vehicle’s
speed, style and comfort. Interior characteristics
include soft leather seating, dual-zone automatic
climate control, a four-speaker stereo with
six-CD changer, a multimedia control interface,
optional heated seats and an impressive navigation
system to ensure that you never lose your
way while driving down unfamiliar roads.
The
Spyder comes equipped with all the usual safety
features, including antilock brakes, side
airbags and stability control. Optional features
include heated side mirrors, carbon-ceramic
brakes and a suspension lift system to ensure
your front spoiler never scrapes should you
hit the curb. To prevent similar scrapes on
the rear bumper, a rearview camera is available.
For
those who crave true luxury in their Lamborghini
car rental, take advantage of the “Privilegio”
options, which allow drivers to pick and choose
specialty leathers, exterior paints and wood
trims. The ideal sports car, the Gallardo
Spyder tackles curved roads head on and provides
an easy, enjoyable ride - particularly
if you’re lucky enough to have a warm,
sunny day and the top down.
