Sounds like you just needed to go to the lamborghini dealer to deal with the issues with your first. And sounds like you purchased wrong. But hey at least you drove them both! But the sound is better in the earlier ones.

I wouldn't say that was the poor reliability of the pre LP, just an incompetent mechanic. The LP is a much better car, also the pre-LP Gallardo's 5.0 engine was actually developed by Lamborghini themselves. I purchased an 07 G with the E-gear and to be honest, It's been faultless I use it as often as I can, you really have to drive these cars... as you've stated they really aren't bad dailies at all... Aside from the first gear at stop signs or traffic lights in the pre LP, I got my G in 2020 and the clutch was at 92% after 2 years of ownership and 16k miles it read 79% which is great, there are tricks to driving them. The attention they get can be a bit annoying at times but it's what you have to expect by owning an exotic... conversing with people at gas stations, letting them sit in the car, etc can really make someone's day and I see it as a responsibility for us exotic car owners to let others enjoy it as well. I will say when you're driving, everyone wants to race you.. from the guy in the civic to the guy on the superbike.

What is your trick of driving these E gears to have the clutch last longer?

Thank you man, i finally got mine 2 months ago! White bicolore, uppoaded a quick video as well. Thanks man for helping all along

Nice genuine review. Yes LP’s are definitely more reliable, as they should be since it’s the successor to the Pre-LP. I can fully agree with your pulling away comment in 1st gear on Pre-LP’s, embarrassing 😳. But I think I found how to do it smoothly now 😁

Sprint booster will sol e the problem

“I daily drive it in the sense that I drive it to work once a week” so you drive it once a week.. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

Some myths in the comments section I see. 5.0 is NOT a Lamborghini engine at all. It was developed, based on the dry sump architecture of the 4.2V8 Audi motor, between VW Audi and Cosworth Technology (this division of Cosworth was owned by VW Audi, which purchased Cosworth from Vickers and then sold the racing division but keep Cosworth Technology). Lambo did have a 5.0 V10 in the 90s but it could not be made to have the power required, hence the development of a new V10. The Sound difference between the 5.0 and 5.2 is nothing to do with parent ownership, but is to do with firing interval (not order - this is the same in both). 5.0 has a firing interval of 72 degree and has split crank pins, whereas the 5.2 has a firing interval of 92 and 58 degrees and common crank pins. In addition the 5.2 was quite heavily re-engineered with a longer crankshaft and wider bore centres. The howl of the 5.0 is defining though and many people prefer the sound it makes over the 5.2. The 5.2 is however a more reliable and better engineered unit, not to mention more powerful, significantly so.

Take a shot each time “significantly” is said 😂, regardless love the vid

Very informational !!!

Nice video. Very informative. The granny start is the only way to get away from rest. You can avoid the judder. It’s better when lt warms up later. That’s what I found on an 05 G. I like the rear wheel drive too. But at the same time the AWD is safer

Pre LP sounds better because it’s a Lambo engine vs the R8 sounding LP cars. Just got one I’m in Sydney too. Got a 09 Pre LP Spyder.

Was the check engine light a carbon charcoal canister replacement? Thats the issue I had on mine.

How was your experience with the Perth dealer doing the PPI for the SL?? I'm hopefully buying a aust delivered SE (1of 6) & will get them to do a check on it. Thanks

Hey, what are you paying, if you don't mind me asking? This covid car tax is dumb. I've been looking for a decent example pre LP Aus wide for 4 months with no luck. About $170k aud budget, in cash, ready. People are wanting $200k+ for a pre LP is a joke. The ones at around $150k are usually high mile and i wouldn't touch. I'll keep looking but might have to put it off until used prices normalize again. Not doing myself any favours by looking at videos of them, however. It was just last year that i saw 20k mile pre lp's and manuals going for sub $140k.....

​@@hannahalexy I paid$153 for a 2006 SE (2007 jan aussie compliance)with 34,000kms. Yes prices have gone crazy - to be honest I dont thinkthey will be dropping much anytime soon- so much demand very little supply. So many pre LP been sold on carsales in last 2 months, only the 2004 yellow one in melbourne left - and I really wonder why that import hasnt sold.

Really no information about the cars themselves too much about personal vehicle issues.

👏👏👍👍🙏🙏

Sorry, but nothing beats the sound and feel of an even-firing Pre-LP

I went back to the pre lp for the sound and brutality specifically

Dude L is pronounced as El not O

Are you a vampire?

The Lp is the WRONG gallardo
