Gallardo Is Lamborghini's Most Popular Model Ever

If you were worried that the Italian carmaker would go bust before you could afford one, you can now rest easy. Lamborghini is here to stay.

FRANKFURT — The Gallardo high-performance sports car is Lamborghini's best-selling model in the brand's history, the company said on Thursday after celebrating the 3,000 model to roll off its assembly line.

The Gallardo beats the previous record of 2,903 Diablos built over the course of 10 years, according to Reuters.

"It's a reason for us to be proud that this goal was reached in less than 24 months," Lamborghini CEO Stefan Winkelmann said in a statement.

The Gallardo is built on an aluminum space frame chassis and is powered by a 5.0-liter V10 that makes 493 horsepower. It can sprint from zero to 100 mph in 4 seconds.
