The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo features an intoxicating blend of Italian passion and German engineering, a recipe that results in an exotic that is as soul-stirring as it is civilized.

The V10-powered 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo might be the little brother to the V12-powered Aventador supercar. But it'd be wrong to see the Gallardo as a major step down from all-out road-going supremacy because in some ways it's actually better than the Aventador, and not just in terms of performance.

In all likelihood, the Gallardo will turn just as many heads as any supercar. It's also a valid assumption that the so-called baby Lambo will deliver similar thrills behind the wheel, unless you have regular access to a racetrack. Where it figuratively pulls away is in how it behaves under normal conditions. With a smaller footprint, better visibility and conventionally hinged doors, the Gallardo is comparably easy to live with on a daily basis.

Much of this can be attributed to parent company Audi, which managed to exorcise many of the demons of Lamborghinis past without diluting the potent solution that makes Lamborghinis so wildly desirable. This year sees only a few changes, as rumors point to a replacement model for 2014. The Gallardo lineup receives a styling update to the front and rear of the LP560-4 models, and last year's Trofeo Stradale special edition has been replaced by the LP570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica.

So if you have a quarter-million dollars to spend on a car, there's no reason to overlook the 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo. Even as it approaches the end of its production, we find it just as desirable as the Aston Martin Virage (or for that matter, almost any Aston), Ferrari 458 Italia and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Mild exotics like the Audi R8 and higher-end Porsche 911 models provide comparable thrills, but are notably less distinctive. In any case, if you're considering any of these exotics, consider us jealous.

The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo is a midengine exotic sports car that is offered as the LP550-2 coupe and Spyder roadster, LP560-4 coupe and Spyder roadster and LP570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica coupe and LP570-4 Spyder Performante Edizione Tecnica roadster. The "-2" indicates rear-wheel drive while "-4" indicates all-wheel drive.

Standard equipment on the LP550-2 and LP560-4 models includes 19-inch wheels, an automatically extending rear spoiler, bi-xenon headlights, power-folding outside mirrors, a nose-raising suspension for curb clearance, dual-zone automatic climate control, power seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a multimedia driver interface similar to Audi's Multi Media Interface (MMI) system and a four-speaker stereo with a CD player. The Spyder has a full power-operated soft top, while coupes receive a transparent engine cover and LED accent lights.

Options include upgraded alloy wheels, faux suede upholstery, fitted luggage, heated seats, a navigation system, a rearview camera and upgraded audio with iPod integration. Available packages include the Travel package (which adds a cupholder, a luggage net behind the seats and a small storage compartment near the steering wheel) as well as a pair of interior Carbon packages. The latter bathe the cabin in carbon-fiber trim -- you get less with one package and more with the other. Lamborghini also offers its "Ad Personam" customization program, which gives the buyer extensive input into exterior and interior color combinations.

The LP570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica coupe and Spyder Performante Edizione Tecnica roadster get carbon-fiber exterior and interior components, a more powerful V10, a standard automated manual transmission, polycarbonate rear and side windows, lighter 19-inch wheels, a fixed and larger rear spoiler, carbon-ceramic brakes, faux suede upholstery and special colors. Most, but not all, of the regular Gallardo's options can be added.

Powering all 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo models is a midmounted 5.2-liter V10. A six-speed manual transmission is fitted to the Gallardo LP550-2. All other Gallardos receive a six-speed, single-clutch automated manual transmission (known as "e-gear"); it is optional on the "550" models.

The Gallardo LP550-2 models produce 550 horsepower and 397 pound-feet of torque and send all power to the rear wheels. More power is available with the LP560-4, which makes 560 hp and 397 lb-ft of torque that powers all four wheels. Lamborghini estimates that these models will reach 60 mph in the mid-3-second range.

Finally, the LP570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica coupe and Spyder Performante Edizione Tecnica squeeze even more power out of the 5.2-liter V10, with 570 hp and 397 lb-ft of torque on tap. All that thrust should be enough to get the car up to 60 mph in the low 3-second range.

EPA-estimated fuel economy checks in at 12 mpg city/20 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined with the traditional manual and 13/20/16 with e-gear. Spyder models with the manual transmission drop by about 1 mpg in combined driving.

Standard safety features on all 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo models include antilock brakes, stability control and side airbags with head protection. A rearview camera is optional.

The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo's performance is just as otherworldly as one would expect from any exotic sports car. The V10 power plant shrieks off the line as the revs climb toward redline. Compared to the 458 Italia from archrival Ferrari, the Gallardo is slightly less nimble. It is, however, perfectly at home blasting down the highway and carving through high-speed sweepers. The LP570-4 models represent a further refinement of the Gallardo's capabilities, as these lightweight special editions are perfect for those who want to squeeze every drop of excitement possible from this lithe Lamborghini.

The Gallardo provides a fairly livable cabin. Leather and soft-touch materials adorn much of the interior, as one might expect, and the switchgear, gauges and multimedia driver interface are essentially pulled from the Audi parts bin. Some might bemoan this dilution of Lamborghini's traditional Italian character, but most will be thankful that everything actually works. Further advancements can be found in the fundamentally sound driving position and the comfortable and supportive seats.

The aforementioned multimedia interface leaves something to be desired, however, as the control knob and accompanying buttons are placed next to the screen rather than near the shifter, requiring altogether too much driver attention given the Gallardo's fearsome capabilities. Furthermore, storage space is negligible, and only the most limber drivers will find ingress and egress an easy task. The latter is par for the course in this segment, perhaps, but some competing models provide supercar performance without requiring contortionist antics to get behind the wheel.

Lightning-quick throttle response and intoxicating sounds from the engine bay are ever-present Lamborghini Gallardo characteristics, but the car has other sides to its personality. Around town, the driver must put up with a lumpy idle, rock-hard ride, the tires' tendency to follow road grooves, and a turning radius that feels like a full-size pickup’s. Husky Americans, especially, will feel cramped in the cockpit. But on an open back road or high-speed track, the Gallardo finds its focus. The stiff space frame and taut chassis impart an organic stability and responsiveness. The AWD of the “-4” versions imparts a little more understeer and numbs the feedback a bit compared to the lively “-2” rear-drive cars, but the tradeoff in stability, security and sheer grip on any surface is worth it.

MATTE-FINISH EXTERIOR PAINTThe flat planes and sharp creases of a modern Lamborghini body look especially cool in a matte finish, and it only costs $ 26,600 extra to get a Gallardo in matte black, brown or white.FRONT LIFTING SYSTEMThe Gallardo’s low, protruding nose looks sleek, but would grind against steep driveways without the front lifting system, which raises the front end an inch and a half with the push of a button.

The interior of a Lamborghini Gallardo is nearly as striking as the exterior. But remember, this exotic Italian marque is part of the Audi corporate stable, so you know the cockpit will be sumptuous, accommodating and beautifully made. Leather is everywhere. On higher-level Gallardos it’s Alcantara suede. Carbon-fiber trim is also offered. The standard bucket seats offer good support, but the unyielding carbon-fiber chairs in the Superleggera are built for racing and jockey-sized occupants. Be sure to pack light because there is little trunk space (less than four cubic feet) and no back seat.

The low-slung 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo has sharply angled body work and prominent air intakes front, sides and back. This year, the LP560 models get a new face, with dividers creating strongly triangular intakes. Doors hinge conventionally on the Gallardo (not the famous but less practical scissors arrangement its Aventador stablemate still uses) and entrance and egress are easier than the belt-high roofline suggests. The short-nosed cab-forward design contributes to the Gallardo’s overall wedge shape. Spyder models have a power-operated insulated cloth top that can be raised or lowered in 20 seconds.

Most of the expected premium-car trappings are here, such as dual-zone A/C, a power tilt/telescope steering wheel, a power adjustable driver’s seat, power heated side mirrors that tilt in, keyless remote entry, and so on. Likewise for safety hardware like ABS, traction control, stability control, dual front airbags, dual side airbags and pop-up rollbars for the convertibles. But a power passenger seat, heated seats, and even front cupholders cost extra. Cruise control isn’t available at all, probably because you’re expected to be attentive and involved with your Gallardo at all times.

Every paint color but gloss black is listed as an extra-cost option on the Gallardo, the $ 26K matte-finish paints being the most extreme examples. Other popular options include a navigation system, back-up camera and rear park-assist system (highly recommended), ceramic disc brakes, and an alarm system. The E-gear automated "manual" transmission – essentially an automatic – is a $ 10,000 option on the LP550 Coupe and Spyder models, and the only offering on the LP 560s and LP570s. The 2013 Gallardo is available with lots of accessory and trim packages for you to customize to your personal taste.

The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo’s V10 engine creates a soundtrack worthy of the car’s breathtaking appearance. Acceleration is as effortless as it is addictive, any Gallardo model capable of cracking 60 mph from rest in less than four seconds and topping out just shy of 200 mph. The slick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission is still standard on the rear-drive LP550-2 models but it’s being phased out (and rumor has it there will be no manual at all next year) in favor of the automated manual E-gear transmission. The paddle-operated 6-speed E-gear has driver-selectable modes, "A" for lazy shifts and laid-back cruising, "Sport" for quicker shifts and "Corsa" for a day at the track with tire-chirping, wide-open-throttle upshifts.Gallardo LP550-25.2-liter V10542 horsepower @ 8,000 rpm398 lb-ft of torque @ 6,800 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 12/20 mpg (manual), 13/20 mpg (automatic)Gallardo LP560-45.2-liter V10552 horsepower @ 8,000 rpm398 lb-ft of torque @ 6,800 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 13/20 mpg (automatic)Gallardo LP570-45.2-liter V10562 horsepower @ 8,000 rpm398 lb-ft of torque @ 6,800 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 13/20 mpg (automatic)

Like other limited-production exotic supercars, there is a considerable price spread between base and fully loaded examples, ranging from about $ 194K for a 2013 Gallardo LP550-2 Coupe to more than $ 250K for a 2013 Gallardo LP570-4 Performante Spyder. Particularly with the Ad Personum personalization program, wherein any Gallardo can be fitted with a broad selection of leather, Alcantara suede, carbon fiber, piano black and other interior trims, a wide palette of exterior and interior color schemes, custom wheels, painted brake calipers, carbon-fiber engine compartment trim and so on, the potential exists for a truly one-of-a-kind Lamborghini no one else has – costing tens of thousands more. Though all Lamborghinis are more plentiful in warm-weather states, be sure to investigate the Fair Purchase Price to see what buyers in your area are paying.
