Description: It's no coincidence that the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Dodge Viper are two of the only cars on the market with V10 engines: Chrysler owned Lamborghini at the time of the Gallardo's develo...Add Comments10
Jake TrumbullMar 08, 2013 The viper motor was "borrowed" from the ram division back when viper was an idea. They did own lambo at the time and lambo helped redo the truck v10 heads for sport car use.
Tim PuckettOct 23, 2012 No car buzz is right the a v10 was developed by Lamborghini for the viper however that v10 is not the one in the gallardo
JB KolodOct 23, 2012 Yeah I read that and immediately knew it was wrong. The gallardo was the first son of VW->Audi->Lamborghini. Chrysler was not in the equation
David GrayOct 23, 2012 Not like CarBuzz to get their facts wrong is it?!
Aaron CrispOct 23, 2012 And that's why I love Viper :)
Tin NguyenOct 23, 2012 Mark is correct. The v10 found in the R8 is the same engine used in the Gallardo.
Tin NguyenOct 23, 2012 Wrong info carbuzz. Chrysler did not develope the v10 in Gallardo. Audi did. Chrysler sold Lambo in 1994. Audi purchased Lambo from investors in Malaysia and Singapore in 1998. Gallardo was first introduced in 2003 as a 2004 model.
Description: We've run plenty of drag races, but none are as close as this. In fact it comes down to a photo finish with only the width of a front lip spoiler separating the two awesome sportscars. Check out ...Add Comments28
Dylan BoudreauxOct 25, 2012 I blame the driver of the lambo. Horrible start.
Adam PageOct 25, 2012 I was expecting the viper to eat him up but that race was close as hell! Very good race!
Alexandre JodoinOct 24, 2012 Slowest gallardo start ever.... Un civic l'aurait passé sur le 1/8
Diamadi HaralambousOct 24, 2012 Love them both so much - but I was expecting the gallardo to win even though I wanted the viper to win - and it did
Byakka HirakawaOct 24, 2012 Love both of them
But the lambo lost due to shiftin
Matthew CrightonOct 24, 2012 Viper baby!!! I would have been disapointed uf the Lambo won. They look cool but honestly just arent as awesome as a viper. And Gallardos are too common. I've seen a couple Gallardos and I live in Alberta where no one drives anything but pickups.
Bernard GreenOct 23, 2012 It was a roll race and the distance is 1/2 mile.
Serge PankratovOct 23, 2012 Damn! Im not a Viper fan at all but that was insane! Halfway through he just started pullin like a damn train!!
Aaron CrispOct 23, 2012 Viper power! And he got stung. But if they raced again it could be anyone's race.
Michael RileyOct 23, 2012 Lambo did not have a bad start. If you read the article you'll find it's a rolling start not a dead-stop start. Watch the video again and you'll see that they both accelerate at the same time.
Nick BenzOct 23, 2012 Yea but watch the lambo when he upshifts. It rocks back and forth
Matt PiccoloOct 23, 2012 Lambo didn't have a very good start...
Tobias MersingerOct 23, 2012 The lambo was sooo slow off the line. My granny would manage a better start and shes dead!
Thomas MackeyOct 23, 2012 What a race! Viper is King!
Adam GrayOct 23, 2012 Ok that what I thought. As anyone even converted a viper to an AWD set up?
Mike PunoOct 23, 2012 Viper FTW!!! Can't wait for a new vid with the new SRT.
Paul DickeyOct 23, 2012 It's a viper so I'm guessing rwd.
Adam GrayOct 23, 2012 Looks like the viper had him by a hair. Wonder if the viper was RWD or AWD?
Jörgen NilssonOct 23, 2012 A stock 2002? With what, 350 hp? In that case the Superleggera was toying with you.
Colby ChurchOct 23, 2012 I raced a Superleggera a few days ago. It was fast, I kept right beside him until 90mph and then he started pulling me and got me by a car length before we both let off. It was a good match. And my car is a stock 2002 Corvette 6 speed with 91k miles.
Tobias MersingerOct 23, 2012 This would be my pick, even though it got bitten by the Viper. Still faster than most cars. Way too fast for your everyday needs if you ask me.
Patrick SchalkOct 23, 2012 That's a damn good looking gallardo though
Aj WhiteOct 25, 2012 Adam is right because the first gens were strictly roadsters. The second gen introduced the GTS coupe style which is absolutely sexy!
Adam SolomonOct 24, 2012 This is actually 2nd gen...just saying
Tim PreisingerOct 23, 2012 These are my personal favorite too
Matt PiccoloOct 23, 2012 I like these older ones better than the new ones... I think they messed up the new one
Thomas MackeyOct 23, 2012 I have to disagree. The 1st was one of the best!
The viper motor was "borrowed" from the ram division back when viper was an idea. They did own lambo at the time and lambo helped redo the truck v10 heads for sport car use.
Tin is correct (not Tim).

And that's why I love Viper :)
Well thats why i love audi!
Mark is correct. The v10 found in the R8 is the same engine used in the Gallardo.

I believe you are correct!
