Lamborghini Gallardo 5.0 V10

Better Performance is proud to present this exceptional Lamborghini Gallardo 5.0, finished in the striking Giallo Halys with a Nero leather interior accented by Giallo contrast stitching. Configured in its desirable launch specification, this example is accompanied by an extensive portfolio of servicing and supporting documentation, with maintenance historically carried out by both Lamborghini main dealers and renowned marque specialist Autofficina.

More recently, servicing has been entrusted to Lamborghini Bristol, with the latest service completed in 2024 at 28,537 miles. Both the exterior and interior remain in excellent condition throughout, reflecting only minimal and careful use.

The 5.0-litre V10 found in the early Gallardo represents one of Lamborghini’s most distinctive powerplants of the modern era. Engineered in the early years of Audi’s stewardship but developed primarily in Sant’Agata, the 5.0 retains the unmistakable character of a traditional Lamborghini engine—free-revving, vocal, and unapologetically intense. Producing over 500 bhp, it delivers immediate throttle response and a crescendo of sound that builds into a sharp, metallic howl as it nears its redline. Unlike the later, more refined 5.2-litre variants, the original 5.0-litre V10 feels raw and mechanical, embodying the untamed personality Lamborghini was known for, while benefiting from the reliability and engineering discipline of its new era. It remains a defining element of the early Gallardo driving experience and a key reason many enthusiasts favour these first-generation cars.
