Lamborghini Gallardo
Many doubted this brand would survive, as it has always been eclipsed by Ferrari. Now owned by Audi, Lamborghinis are here to stay and they may even begin scaring the competition. The Gallardo is the most affordable model offered by the automaker, though this does not mean its performance is weak, as it is powered by a V10 engine producing more than 500 horsepower. And it boast an all aluminium construction, which reduces the overall weight, insuring more performances. It reaches 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.
