If I Had £100k To Blow On A Used Supercar, I'd Buy This RWD Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2

If you could buy any new Lamborghini, what would it be? Maybe you’d go for the Nurburgring monster that is the Aventador SV, or perhaps you fancy the wind in your hair courtesy of the Huracan Spyder.. For me, though, the most enticing one is the Huracan LP580-2. Why? Because in an era of almost all Lamborghinis being all-wheel drive, this one sends its power to the rear wheels only. But, this approach isn’t unique to the Huracan; Sant’Agata Bolognese gave its otherwise AWD Gallardo the same treatment to create the LP550-2.

It’s one of several epic rear-driven Lamborghinis the company has made since migrating over to making mostly four-wheel drive vehicles, and you can actually pick them up relatively cheaply right now. Well, ish.

This 2011 is up for £104,990. For that, you get yourself some gorgeous angular looks, an E-Gear six-speed gearbox (an automated manual rather than a dual-clutch gearbox, sadly) and a 542bhp V10.

Like the new Huracan 580-2, that’s actually down a little from the Gallardo LP560-4, presumably to counteract the drop in weight caused by the removal of all the four-wheel drive gubbins. Well, it was supposed to be the entry-level Gallardo, so the guys and girls at Lamborghini were hardly going to allow it to be faster, were they?

Still, that doesn’t put me off, and if I had £100,000 or so to blow on a used supercar (sadly, I don’t) I’m fairly certain this is what I’d go for. Would it be your £100k supercar of choice, or would you go for something else?
