Lamborghini produces Gallardo Number 10,000

After it has built the 4,000th Murcielago back in February, the Italian supercar manufacturer has announced today the 10,000th Lamborghini Gallardo produced. As with the Murcielago milestone car, the 10,000th Lamborghini Gallardo is headed for China where it will be celebrated in Shanghai on 25th June. The yellow Midas unit is a LP 560-4 Coupe that marks an important step in the model's life which started back in 2003.

The 10,000th Lamborghini Gallardo is a V10 powered four-wheel drive model that marks an important moment in the company's history.

Apart from the standard Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Coupe, the model line-up also includes the Spyder, the rear-wheel-drive Valentino Balboni special edition and the hardcore, stripped-out Superleggera version.

The V10 Lamborghini Gallardo, with its permanent four-wheel drive, has become the most successful Lamborghini model of all time.

Production of car number 10,000 is a very important milestone for Lamborghini,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Lamborghini brand is extreme, uncompromising and Italian, and the Lamborghini Gallardo has played an exemplary role in defining and delivering our brand reputation into our worldwide markets. Today Lamborghini is represented in 45 countries by over 120 dealers, with the strength and presence of the Gallardo product playing a significant role in the growth and recognition of our brand.”

The Lamborghini Gallardo has won numerous international awards for its dynamic performance, design and brand integrity, from media, international automotive groups and design councils. The Lamborghini Gallardo has been famously featured in music videos and films, and its client list features numerous celebrities, sports stars and VIPs.

A couple of Gallardo have been donated to the Italian state police, and a race version of the Gallardo LP 560-4 features in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo: the one-make race series running in Europe, launched by Automobili Lamborghini in 2009.

The achieved record with the Gallardo number 10,000, in yellow “Midas” and destined for China, will be celebrated also during the ‘Lamborghini Day’ in Shanghai, 25th June, before being delivered to its owner. In the first event of its kind in China, Lamborghini will showcase eight cars from its super sports car range
