The CCA Edition

The battle between makers of super cars has resulted in some pretty amazing cars hitting the road over the last few years. One of these cars is the Lamborghini Gallardo Stradale. When it was first released the Gallardo was one of the finest super cars on the road, however over the years other cars have surpassed it. The Stradale is the company’s attempt to retake the top spot for the best super car.

The obvious reason that Stradale is the best Gallardo ever built is that it was designed to be. The company saw its competitors bringing out super cars that had an extreme level of performance and they decided to do the same. The result is a car that now sits right at the top of the Gallardo line up and can significantly outperform any of the others. The Stradale will be produced in extremely limited numbers with just one hundred and fifty of them being produced in order to maintain exclusivity.

The first thing that you will notice if you happen to get your hands on the Gallardo Stradale is the engine.  It is the engine that Lamborghini uses in their race cars, completely unchanged. Companies that build top end super cars frequently take the engine out of their race cars but usually they are detuned for road use. Not in this case, the engine is exactly the one that you would find in a Lamborghini race car. Needless to say this gives the car plenty of power, allowing it to reach a top speed of two hundred miles per hour.

It is not just the engine that comes out of the Lamborghini race car that you will find on the Stradale, the transmission does as well. This was pretty much a requirement of course since they needed a transmission that was designed to work with the engine that they had taken out of the same car. The result is a car that can accelerate at a very rapid rate going from zero to sixty in 3.4 seconds. This acceleration is helped by the fact that weight of the car is considerably lighter than other versions of the Gallardo.

The Lamborghini Gallardo Stradale is for all intents and purposes a race car that you can drive on the street. Not only are the engine and transmission the same ones that are used in the company’s race cars but the body styling is similar as well. The only real changes are on the interior which is designed for a little bit more comfort than you would find in a race car. That being said you don’t buy a car like this for comfort, it is all about performance. In that respect the Stradale excels and is definitely worthy of being the top of the line model.
