fab choice, Gallardo is an absolute classic that everyone wanted and still has that beautiful v10 sound, although I prefer the superlegga version which has only a few hundred made
every car guy should all feel the same emotion. seeing the huge smile on his face through the tunnel, with that glorious V10 engine revving away, just makes you smile by watching it from behind the screen. its an emotion that only car guys will understand.
I'd love to see a RUclipsr like yourself get some great classics....much more interesting than many modern supercars. The styling has aged so well, yes it's blocky and wedge shaped, but then so is the first Golf GTI and that's sooo much prettier than any modern Golf! A few like your friend's Murci ...which is gorgeous! Love it!!!
Shmee, you should DEFINITELY add this Gallardo Spyder to your collection. Maybe one day, you and Stradman can do a drag race between your respective Gallardos. I miss your Huracan STO, but I think the Gallardo would look amazing in your collection of Shmeemobiles.
The first car I ever drove was a 2006 Gallardo coupe on a race track when I was 14. So the Gallardo has a special place in my heart. And still the coolest car I've been in, and that was 8 years ago now
I drove a Gallardo Spyder on track and it's to this day the most powerful car I've ever driven. I just remembered the G forces upon acceleration pulling my cheeks towards the back of my head!
Shmee is doing drive by footage! Is that a new development? What a sexy Lamborghini. These Gallardos are becoming very desirable once again. They're aging beautifully.
Over the years we have done on and off; more recently a few times though as time has been available to get those sound clips - some cars you just have to do it! The 12Cilindri and McLaren F1 GTR were some other obvious examples.
I love the idea of buying the cars that have some significance to where we got our love of cars from. I even managed to do it myself in April of this year buying an S2000 which I have loved since I was a kid (I’m in my 20’s now) because the first episode of Top Gear I saw was the S2K vs Z4 vs Cayman and I’ve always wanted one. If I do sell it, my other all time love is a V8 Vantage
Birds of a feather! My first supercar was a 2017 r8 v10+ and nearly 8 years and 2 McLarens later, I'm looking at getting a Huracan Evo Spider (before the prices skyrocket). I really miss that v10, even if it's nowhere near as fast as my tuned 720. Maybe I slap some snails on it later... Anyway, love the content, as always! So cool that you can go from driving an F1 GTR to a Valkyrie... and then love driving an old Gallardo! True gearhead. Cheers.
This is the content we need! Interesting to see you buy a gen1 R8, road trip it, run it for a year and show how much you need to spend on it and how much you lose / gain when you sell.
My dream car was always the pre LP 5.0 with the gated manual, they are still well priced for what they are, really hoping to be fortunate enough to get one before they shoot up in price in a few years, just need to start making money..
I have a soft spot for the Gallardo as well.. however for your channel, if you do a Gallardo, it should be a special edition or you should at least do a “build series” for proper refresh/upgrades/mods to make it more fun for 2024! 🎉
Gallardos are so slept on these days. There’s so many fantastic variants out there. It’s amazing how they went from being everywhere to even being a rare sight at car events now that Huracans have been around for so long. Would love to have a Gallardo myself someday
What a great video, Tim. That exhaust sound is fantastic! My dream baby Lambo would be a pre-facelift yellow Gallardo Spyder with a manual transmission and the Cassiopeia rims. Would be lovely to see one in your collection.
Great video Tim. Loved the sound of the Lamborghini in your drive, incredible sunny day filmed on, a true rarity here in Blighty. reminds me of my lovely days back in New Zealand
I really appreciate people getting their dream cars from their childhood and teenage years. Newer cars never seem to have the same wow factor as those. I'm working on mine, with a smaller budget 🤣
The Gallardo is one of my all-time favorite cars. It's my favorite Lamborghini. I just wish I was rich so I could buy one, maybe some day I can rent one somewhere so I can at least experience driving one. For me, the pre face-lift blue coupe with the gated manual is the perfect one.
These Pre-LP Gallardos are a fantastic choice. You get that gorgeous even-firing 5.0L V10 and if you’re even luckier to get a manual one, it’s a perfect mixture! There’s one for sale near me in a gorgeous metallic red, tan interior, and I think it’s a manual car. It’s my dream Gallardo!
you cant go wrong with a gallardo...it was the absolute rental queen on any exotic rental lot until the huracan came out...i learn to drive exotics on those...its like the driving school old corsa...it was special....
I hear that the 5L is more troublesome than the later engines, but it’s the one I would want, for the engine and for the looks. I’ve gone off Lambos in a pretty big way in recent years, but a fun 5L Gallardo still does it for me. That would be a very cool addition to the collection, imho.
Did a track day at Long Cross in one of these same colour as well. Albeit in manual. Great car. Even better soundtrack. Gated manual is a winner with the engine sitting just behind you. Bliss. Get a manual!
The LP570-4 Superleggera in Verde Ithaca, Giallo Midas or Arancio Borealis, The Lp560-4 and of course the LP 570-4 Spyder Performante are all time capsules of a special time in car history for me.
since lambo discontinued the V10, the gallardos and huracans might increase in value in the future, the legacy of the best sounding engine config must be kept alive somehow, getting your hands on the original lambo V10 is a great choice, not to mention you would be adding said engine config to your collection as you dont have any.
Honestly you should try to get the 1st gen gallardo nera. Only 185 of them exist in total (24 RHD) with a claimed 2-3 in the UK. Nera was part of lambo's personalization programme and had a lot of unique customization and features over the standard ones.
If you are going to put miles on it, then go for the gen 1 R8, maybe try to get back your old R8, it's cheaper than Gallardo and has the V10 engine from the LP gallardo cars. One plus point of the R8 over the Gallardo is that it was available with a dct as well, so if you're not picking a manual, dct would be the next best option.
I would love to own a pre-LP manual Gallardo one day. I think that colour looks right at home next to the SF90, they look very similar! When you do get one, and decide you want to get an exhaust on it, look for an exhaust with an X pipe, that's when you can get the high pitched LFA like screams! And, you do know someone who pretty much daily drove one for about 4 years that can give you real good advice.... *cough* James *cough* Stradman *cough*
Hi Tim, I’m not going to lie I currently drive an EV not a fiat but that’s the only thing I would miss that V10 engine. Wether it’s in the Lamborghini or the Audi. But unfortunately I would not be brave enough to buy one at that age. Yes my car cost £50,000 but I get a7 year warranty and 2 year service periods at an affordable price. So for me I will stick with my car but it makes a lot of sense for you to buy it because it’s a car that you can afford to maintain. But not loose a fortune in depreciation with a lot of the new super cars if you pile the mileage on them.
Shmee150 Awesome Video I think it's awesome that your Friend let you drive his Absolutely Gorgeous Pre Lp Gallardo Spyder and I think you should definitely get a Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder LP 570-4 Performante Spyder
Put on some BBS LM's and an exhaust if you get one it's a old car have fun with it shmee we know your not known for modifying cars but this car could be the exception or re-spec it change the interior and paint and stuff in a way you'd spec it and make a build series around it
As far as driver-friendly NA V10s go, I think the LFA takes the cake. Surely you could get one of those and still have room for a V12 Lambo, no? Jokes aside, I love the R8 story...follow your passion. My favorite pre-LP Gallardo is the SE, but it isn’t a Spyder.
Would love to see a new lambo on the channel. Personally I would suggest a gallardo performante Spyder. These are at a higher price point but what a bargain for such na extremely rare car, that will for sure go up and up in value.
My head teacher at middle school used to raise his little finger when he disapproved of something.......I never understood what it meant until today|! thank you Shmee for solving that 40 year old puzzle!!
Unfortunately I can’t get passed the rear looking like an mr2 (sure some would argue if thats a good or bad thing). Great sound however would prob prefer the sister r8 in looks though.
Perfect timing I just got food
Have a good meal
Italian?😂
Yummy
W dude
Same😂 KFC and shmee
The first Gen Gallardo Superleggera would be a Nasty addition to the collection 🔥
For me it’s the Gallardo Supertrofeo Stradale
Or even better the Gallardo Squadra Corse
First thing that came to my mind after seeing the thumbnail!
Gated Manual if you can😍

Strad's Gallardo would honestly decimate Shmee's....... It's twin turbo with a built motor

@@Anthony3k It wasn't cheap, though. I did it for my 14 birthday. It was a paid for supercar experience

Imagine shmee buying this beauty of a thing, and make it his own (color, personalization ) and then take it to an US tour 👀🙌🏼
You never know
Been loving the content lately!! Keep up the great work
Thanks! Will do!
Silver snoopy! Unreal
Nice spot 👌
@@Shmee150 Picked mine up last week. Love the Nato Strap on it. Do you mind if I ask where you found it?
Nooooooo nato for snoopy 😢
Ofc its blue and silver. Immaculate taste shmee.
It’s not his
I own a white one, with an exhaust… and I love it.!! Always my first pick for a drive
Good choice!
My car has an exhaust too!
This has always been my favourite Lambo. Will be getting mine as soon as the spec I want comes up on Auto Trader!
Keep those eyes peeled, you'll love it!

Congratulations on your S2000
Can't wait to see the insane spec, hope to see one join the collection very soon!
owned an LP Spyder for about 4 years, fantastic car, plenty of power for the road, sounds amazing and extremely reliable

WILDCAT???The one from the vanoss crew?Together with Shmee?Never expected such a collab,two completely different worlds,two great youtubers.
Haha, you should check out the video!
I really appreciate people getting their dream cars from their childhood and teenage years. Newer cars never seem to have the same wow factor as those.
I'm working on mine, with a smaller budget 🤣
It's true though, that's what got you madly into this stuff
I love the Gallardo...! It is so clean and pretty...! Such a great timeless design.
Nice touch to match the color of the car to the Speedmaster Snoopy Tim!
Thanks!
The Gallardo is one of my all-time favorite cars. It's my favorite Lamborghini. I just wish I was rich so I could buy one, maybe some day I can rent one somewhere so I can at least experience driving one. For me, the pre face-lift blue coupe with the gated manual is the perfect one.
Shmee talking about how daily-able it is with 24,000 miles on it over the past 21 years
1100 miles a year is not bad tbf
The 5.0 is one of the greatest sounding cars ever made and a lot of people don't realise it. Love the 1st gen gallardo
SF90xx spec reveal when 😅. Really waiting for the Ferrari. Also love the lambo spec in the video
These Pre-LP Gallardos are a fantastic choice. You get that gorgeous even-firing 5.0L V10 and if you’re even luckier to get a manual one, it’s a perfect mixture! There’s one for sale near me in a gorgeous metallic red, tan interior, and I think it’s a manual car. It’s my dream Gallardo!
A v12 Lamborghini is the only thing missing in the garage
Technically there is a V12 Lamborghini in the garage, it just isn't mine 🤔
It's a very good looking car, IMO, better than the newer models, that blue is very nice and that V10 sounds glorious!
Well, yes, buy one. I drove a lamborghini gallardo a couple of times, and it was just a crazy, noisy, and really fun to drive. Really love it
You are so right! The Gallardo is so cool! I love the lines, the clunky back and the moderate size. And that V10 sound 😊❤ Hope you go for one 😊
That tunnel run was just bonkers! What a sound!
you cant go wrong with a gallardo...it was the absolute rental queen on any exotic rental lot until the huracan came out...i learn to drive exotics on those...its like the driving school old corsa...it was special....
That spec on the Gallardo is clean
I hear that the 5L is more troublesome than the later engines, but it’s the one I would want, for the engine and for the looks. I’ve gone off Lambos in a pretty big way in recent years, but a fun 5L Gallardo still does it for me. That would be a very cool addition to the collection, imho.
The 458 has to join too!
A true modern classic alongside the gallardo
Yes!!
Better to skip both and get a 430 Scuderia.
Looking at this car, its amazing what a jump up and ahead the Huracan was when it arrived.
Did a track day at Long Cross in one of these same colour as well. Albeit in manual. Great car. Even better soundtrack. Gated manual is a winner with the engine sitting just behind you. Bliss. Get a manual!
Some of you guys just make it happen. Impressive garage and collection
Always loved the gallardos, both pre lp and lp560s, they are aging so nicely.
One of the best aging cars ever, the early gallardo looks stunning now
First time being very early! Big fan, keep up the great work!
it looks nice it also looks well kept and the colour of the car really shines under the lights
Definitely sounds 100x better than all the new Ferraris you have. You need to get a Porsche GT3.
Nah V12 Ferrari still sounds better than any Lamborghini.
That R8 is gorgeous! Very special design
They are still such a great car and still in 2024 look fantastic. The pre LPs sound better as well...just make sure you get a gated one!
Whenever I see a Gallardo Spyder, I immediately thing of Clarkson shouting his head off "I want more of thisssssss!"
Yes!
Dear Tim,
That exhaust is scaring the wildlife!
That Soundz insane. Superb value for money with so much fun attached to it. Very smart tidy super car.
The LP570-4 Superleggera in Verde Ithaca, Giallo Midas or Arancio Borealis, The Lp560-4 and of course the LP 570-4 Spyder Performante are all time capsules of a special time in car history for me.
They are beautiful alright.I bet you get a great one. I'm looking forward to seeing which Gallardo you get. Have fun..
since lambo discontinued the V10, the gallardos and huracans might increase in value in the future, the legacy of the best sounding engine config must be kept alive somehow, getting your hands on the original lambo V10 is a great choice, not to mention you would be adding said engine config to your collection as you dont have any.
Last week I stumbled upon a parked lp640. I was so surprised about how good it looked. Designed by a fellow Belgian!
The exhaust guys have made that 5.0L sound like a 5.2L with an x-pipe. Sounds like mine but quieter/subdued.
Honestly you should try to get the 1st gen gallardo nera. Only 185 of them exist in total (24 RHD) with a claimed 2-3 in the UK. Nera was part of lambo's personalization programme and had a lot of unique customization and features over the standard ones.
A gallardo?! Love it. 🔥🔥
Fits perfectly alongside roma and vantage
If you are going to put miles on it, then go for the gen 1 R8, maybe try to get back your old R8, it's cheaper than Gallardo and has the V10 engine from the LP gallardo cars. One plus point of the R8 over the Gallardo is that it was available with a dct as well, so if you're not picking a manual, dct would be the next best option.
This is my favourite engine ever. First generation R8/Gallardo or modern R8/Huracan are my dream cars.

Yes I approve of it the Lamborghini Gallardo is the car that inspired me to love Lamborghinis as well as the mercy lo640 as well love the idea shmee
This will likely be the first V10 I buy. Maybe an Audi R8 V10, it really comes down to what the market looks like.
beautiful car. Go for it Shmee
Put on some BBS LM's and an exhaust if you get one it's a old car have fun with it shmee we know your not known for modifying cars but this car could be the exception or re-spec it change the interior and paint and stuff in a way you'd spec it and make a build series around it
Nothing touches the Gallardo for noise.
Lp560 sounded too mechanical/ too crisp…. These and the gen1 SL are just perfection ❤
You should hear the F355 and Challenge Stradale.
Let's goooo Shmee uploaded ! You're an example for me
Thanks for watching
As far as driver-friendly NA V10s go, I think the LFA takes the cake. Surely you could get one of those and still have room for a V12 Lambo, no? Jokes aside, I love the R8 story...follow your passion. My favorite pre-LP Gallardo is the SE, but it isn’t a Spyder.
An LFA or 15 Gallardos... interesting comparison!
Tim...... are you forgetting about the LFA ? Or is it just outta the price range? Because you CAN'T beat the sounds of THAT V10 !!!!
Love the Callisto wheels!!! 💙
Garage came together nicely!
Still over the moon with it
I rather like the new kerbside camera angles, that really adds a nice touch.
This one is already in Shmee spec, blue and silver wheels. That being said, a Balloon white Spyder would be great too.
Stunning car always had a soft spot for gallardo not sure if it’s odd but I much prefer these to the likes of a hurucan!
Which Gallardo is the best if I want one?
LP series or pre-LP series
0:05 😂 YOOO THAT MURCIELAGO
I really love this spec.
Wether its a Lp or pre Lp… a GATED example of the Gallardo is the way to go!!
Would love to see a new lambo on the channel. Personally I would suggest a gallardo performante Spyder. These are at a higher price point but what a bargain for such na extremely rare car, that will for sure go up and up in value.
I won't forget the first time I drove one and being shocked at how horrible the seats/ride combination was
My head teacher at middle school used to raise his little finger when he disapproved of something.......I never understood what it meant until today|! thank you Shmee for solving that 40 year old puzzle!!
The Gallardo is my fourth favourite Lamborghini, after the Countach, Miura and Islero
The V10 sounds heavenly
Love the V10 Lambos. That Gallardo is in my favourite color. 😭
Love ure vids shmee
You should totally go for a murci roadster and put a Boden exhaust on it!
murci roadster is astonishing 👌🏻 but this gallardo is awesome as well
Without a doubt! The 5.0 Gallardo is genuinely one of Lamborghini’s best sounding cars, and to me, better than the LFA with the right exhaust
@@ToxicFormula better than an LFA for sure, but the murci is the best sounding car ever imo lol
100% agree with you there lol. The murci’s been my all-time favourite car for well over 3 years now
Unfortunately I can’t get passed the rear looking like an mr2 (sure some would argue if thats a good or bad thing). Great sound however would prob prefer the sister r8 in looks though.
that super trofeo gallardo looks soo good
Thank goodness ❤
U badly needed a Lamborghini bro ❤❤❤
Wow this Lamborghini is amazing super cool
Can't wait to see more
