Lamborghini celebrates 3000th Gallardo
Lamborghini built 2,903 Diablos over a period of 10 years. The Italian
firm's Chief Executive Stefan Winkelmann said the goal of producing 3000 Gallardos was accomplished in less than 24
months, which makes the this little bull the best selling model in Lamborghini's acclaimed history.
The Gallardo was introduced as a more affordable offering from the Italian sports-car maker in 2003. The two-passenger coupe features permanent four-wheel drive, aluminum space-frame construction, and an Audi-supplied V-10 pushing some 493 horsepower mated to either a 6-speed auto-shift manual or 6-speed manual, both with OD. The MSRP on the two-door coupe is $165,900, which makes 'more affordable' a relative term.

I think the sales number has less to do with affordability and more to do with VW's manufacturing ability. Not to say that's a bad thing, though.

Well, the VW group has certainly hit upon the supercar sweet spot in that mid-hundereds range. The Bentley Continental GT sits there too, and it's selling like hotcakes (at a hotcakes lover's convention).

Does anyone out there know the dealer invoice on a 2005 egear equipped Gallardo. There seem to be alot of 2005's out there in dealer's unsold inventory. I know the MSRP is about $195,000 but what is the dealer cost. Please do not respond if you're just guessing. Thank you and God Bless....
