M6 Cabrio Vs Gallardo Spyder
Posted 21st May, 2007 in BMW, Lamborghini | Leave a comment
Autobild has compared the beautiful Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder with BMW’s brutal M6 Cabriolet.
The open-top M6 uses BMW’s 5.0L V10 powerplant developing 507bhp. This powers the car from 100km/h (0-62mph) in 4.8 seconds before going on to an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph.) Unchecked, the car could continue to a top speed approaching 323km/h (200mph.) Its sheer performance, alongside the engine’s technological advancements, are just two of the reasons the worldwide judging panel of the International Engine of the Year voted the M6’s V10 engine the world’s best for the second year in succession - a new landmark in the history of the awards.
The production spyder model of the Gallardo was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2006. It is considered by the company to be an entirely new model, with 5.0L V10 producing 520bhp and a lower-ratio six-speed manual transmission, the Spyder reaches a top speed of 314 km/h (195mph) with the roof up and 307 km/h (190mph) with the roof down, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.3 seconds.
