Lamborghini Gallardo alternatives!

[adperrak]

Please post ideas for Lamborghini Gallardo alternatives. Please take into consideration the following: Price, BHP, Weight, High second hand value, Looks.

Pictures will be highly appreciated!

[clutch-monkey]

997 GT3 or GT3RS ftw
maybe a spyker even, how much do they cost?

[adperrak]

GT3RS

Good ideal although not equaly exotic. Price about the same. Spyker too expensive!

[jorismo]

A GTR3RS not exotic? I don't know about you, but the chances on seeing a Gallardo are bigger than a GTR3RS (at least for NED)

Rare is different to exotic! A GT3RS has the same shape to a regular 997 which according to my taste it's not as exotic as a lambo or a ferrari.

You just scored a point...

Other alternative: Aston Martin DB9 perhaps, or a Vanquish S...

I just love Astons. However I beleive that both suggestions are more expensive with poorer performance figures; I would be happy though to pay a little extra for a James Bond DBS

With all the news about the new Esprit why not go with the old dog, the Lotus Esprit V8?

Let's be reasonable! The only lotus worth talking for is the Exige S. And still not possible to compare to a Gallardo.

Erm why? Why is the Esprit not worth in your opinion?

[adperrak]

Erm why? Why is the Esprit not worth in your opinion?

The esprit is a quite old car (2002-2003) with a poor transmission and gearbox system. Additionally the particular lotus lacks reliability mainly due to its turbo-chargers. Finally I believe its looks are a bit surpassed.

[lightweight]

Let's wait for the new Esprit. Then we can state our opinions.

Until then the R8 is a cheap derivative.

The Corvette - Viper is another one (though aiming at a different target group)

The F430 of course from Ferrari

The R8 is a Gallardo substitute not a Gallardo alternative :D
The Viper is nice but I will agree with the different target group argument.
The F430, yes that's an alternative... however it is more expensive for no particular reason... and some may argue less reliable!

Absolutely irrelevant point! You cannot persuade me that the esprit is a similar car to the Gallardo. Sorry mate!

Well to me it is, if I wanted a mid engined sportscar the Lotus is still a compelling option and certainly much more special than the rather mainstream Gallardo. But if you wanted the usual answers...

[Turbo.Jenkens]

Thought the Ford GT might be worth mentioning, but if i were in the market for that kind of car I would pick a 430 hands down.

[Turbo.Jenkens]

Slightly used Ferrari 575s and Diablos would be close to the same price range. Possibly even a 02 or 03 Murcielago

The Gallardo costs US$175,000 (wikipedia), whereas, based on "Edmunds.com", the MSRP for an F1 style Ferrari F430 is $178,906. So they are pretty even, with the Gallardo a tad more expensive if you add the e-gear option.

As far as the R8 is concerned, it is an alternative, as it is a GT not a less powerful sport-focused car (then it would be a substitute). In the same way that a DB9 is a competitor to the Gallardo.

Another competitor is the Ford GT.

[lightweight]

Absolutely irrelevant point! You cannot persuade me that the esprit is a similar car to the Gallardo. Sorry mate!

The Esprit is not in production anymore. The one that will be sold in 2-3 years will be a competitor to the Gallardo. However it will probably be a more race-focused type of sports car.

The fact that the one car has reliability issues, is irrelevant to the fact that both cars were aimed at the same market segment.

The Mercedes SLK and The BMW Z4 are aimed at the same segment, however the SLK had problems with its roof mechanism. Does that stops them being competitors? Don't think so

[Pando]

It depends a bit on where you're living, but from the top of my head:
All Ferrari's, All Maserati's, All Aston Martin's, TVR's, Spyker's, Porsche's, Corvette C6 & Z06, Viper, Ford GT even the Audi R8. I'd throw in all AMG's, M's and RS's as well. Anything is a better alternative.

Panoz Esperante

"An Esperante managed to win the GT2 class at the 2006 24 Hours of Le Mans, which is usually dominated by Porsche 911 GT3. The best of the 911s led until the final hour but ran into trouble, finishing one lap behind the Panoz, with a Ferrari F430 ten laps down. Other competitors in that class were two Spyker C8s which showed promising performance, but did not finish. This success is a remarkable one for the road-going version of Panoz."

[carsnut]

Here we are. The Ferrari 360CS. Usually costs slightly more, but is quite a bit faster:rolleyes: . I found a 2004 Ferrari 360CS going for $170,000 with 19' HRE wheels and the radio and leather seats option. It has done 6527 Miles. Now the other listing: A 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo with E-Gear with Navigation System. It has only done 3203 miles but it costs just $145,888. That is about at $25000 difference. Though remember, the 360 being listed is the Challenge Stradale. It shows 360's don't really suffer as much from depreciation as the Gallardo is. Though, the 360 Modena may be an exception to the above statement. BTW the car below was not the car being listed, though it is similar.


FYI the 360CS was Black/Black. The Gallardo was Medium Blue/Blue and Tan.

[lightweight]

It shows 360's don't really suffer as much from depreciation as the Gallardo is.

You are referring to the CS.

A safer comparison would be the normal Modena vs the Gallardo, since the CS was a limited edition, so it's normal to be priced higher

[carsnut]

True, though it is so much faster for $25000 more. (referring to the Challenge Stradale:D )


Though, the 360 Modena may be an exception to the above statement.

I metioned the 360 Modena was an exception (I can't find the orginal retail price, some help here??), though a 2004 Ferrari 360 Modena usually goes for $125,000 or so these days. Compared to that $145,888 Gallardo, its a $20,888 difference, though the 360 Spider and the 360CS go for alot more than a 360 Modena does.

In a nutshell, yes. And apparently it's as good to drive, if not better than a Porsche 911, it's a winner all round!

Except that it's completely souless. And the fact that the RS4 costs a whopping £26,000 less.

Alfa Romeo 8C all the way.

[Waugh-terfall]

It's not completely soul less but more soul less in comparison to the 8C, I've been reading about it in this months EVO and I have to say it's a fantastic looking car but then again, it was designed by a German...;)

[Mr.Tiv]

I'll go with a Noble, or a used TVR.

[Waugh-terfall]

If you take the TVR, keep a Fire Extinguisher handy.

There's another problem. Despite having a clever aluminium chasis it still weights 1635kg. And that's a lot. Basically coming to think of it I don't think this car offers anything remarkable compared to its rivals.

[Waugh-terfall]

"The best V8 in the business"
"Fantastic build quality"
Awesome looks and no doubt it'll be reliable more reliable than say an Alfa or Aston.

I don't think reliability is high on the list of potential buyers. Anyway there's the Porsche 911 Carrera S if you want german engineering, and it is £11,000 cheaper than the Audi. For me, taking into account the Alfa Romeo is already sold out, a Maserati Gransport will do.

[Waugh-terfall]

The Audi is as good as the Porsche, if not better but yeah, that price, Audi's certainly not being shy...

They said it was a very good car. They also said they'd have to wait until they'd tested it on British roads against its rivals (Porsche, Aston etc) before they could give a definitive judgement. Considering the 997 Carrera S has consistently wiped the floor with all of it's rivals in the past I'd say the jury is still very much out on whether it is "as good, if not better" than the Porker.

What is interesting is how the Porsche manages to outperform its rivals despite the power deficit. And the fact that it's cheaper than all its rivals...

True, they said it was a good car but also said they'd have to wait until the cars were compared in the UK before passing final judgement on it. I do hope it does well, but right now it can't really be argued it's an all-out better car than the Porsche.

Blaming a TVR's reliability ratings on their respective owners?

Now that's something I've never heard before.

Even Smolenski, when took over the company, tried to work out reliability issues. It was the first thing he did actually. But the thing about TVR is not only the mechanical reliability, but also poor build quality and testing.

TVR's are great cars for the first 1000 miles. Then you need to be a bit careful:D

I was making a joke. Yeah, Uncle J's was fine, never had any problems other than it rolling part way down a hill as he was getting out then realising the handbrake lever isn't connected to anything for some reason.:confused:


Can't wait to see/read about the R8 vs 911 on British Roads, should be good. I am taking into account the price and the fact that the car seems busier than you'd expect and tire noise is a little much.

They've always had Italian levels of reliablilty, but it was only the Tuscan 1 and very early AJP Cerberas that were really unreliable. The rest is the same preventative maintenece you'd do on any supercar.

The point i wanted to make is, there will still be certain available variants, if there are more than enough people who enquired and wants to put order. Even the proud British Astons build a Aston Martin Hatchback for the Sultan of Brunei, succumbing to the great powers of $$$$$ dun think the italians wont, and all of us knew, the British is the worst at doing automotive business. The Italians won't get nosier than that. :)

.....is the only reasonable alternative. A porsche is relitively bland and slow, and god everybody will think you're a stock broker with five wives and a house in Malibu. A DB9 is all clincal and cool, but isn't properly fast, and lacks the idocacy or contradictivness of a supercar (not crazy enough) and the battery is.... british electrics. A The F430 is quintsentially better than a gallardo, as it is the better drivers car. Scratch that the best drivers car today. Not the most direct driving experience, becuase of all the electronic gizmos, but in the words of Jeremy Clarkson "but my God it works." I can't think of a single car I'd rather drive down a winding road in the south of france.

[clutch-monkey]

which porsche are you referring to? the latest turbo is significantly faster than the f430...

[wanker rotary]

Yes, the turbo. That isn't a car, it is a showcase of technology. And although it is just as fast linearly, it isn't as fast as a gallardo or F430 in the bends. But perhaps porsche have tampered with the laws of physics again, making a seemingly idiotic engine position seem brilliant again. And the porsche turbo is still a porsche, so it comes with the porsche mystique. Which isn't good.

Having a F430, everyone will think you're a very successful stock broker, and that you had 10 wives with 20 supermodel girl friends, and you already had a slow and bland Porsche which you generally drove out to trick people into thinking you're only half as pervert as you actually are; and of course it also shows that you had an Aston Martin, which is clinical and cool but due it wasn't fast enough, and the battery is British (@#@$%%??? ) so of course you wouldn't want people to think you reverse your car using a button ont he dash, and hence by the words of Jeremy Clarkson "but my god it works"; you are now having a F430 that you thought driving down the south of France will be cool, as seen on TV.

Holy moley, the forums alive! Just wondering, why would you actually want a gallardo? A murcielago is a supercar, the gallardo isn't really bang on. Its like a german italian supercar, with 4wd. That kills it for me, especially as the gallardo doesn't look crazy enough to be a supercar. To short, to simple, to concise. Oh yeah, if you've ever read a review on a DB9, you'll know about the battery. And about the porsche image comment, sorry, wasn't thinking. If you own an upscale sports car, everybody thinks your a dick, no matter what car. Just if you own a porsche, you will most probably be more insecure, and buy sunglasses from Dole and Gabbana, as well as where a baseball hat with a ferrari sticker on it.

[clutch-monkey]

And although it is just as fast linearly
no, as i said, it's faster. The guys over at Fchat had a race on the (then :() unrestricted roads up north, between M5's, an F430 and a 997 turbo. THe f430 left the M5's for dead, then in turn was beaten by a considerable margin by the 997.
iirc several magazines had the 0-60mph time down to 3.6 sec..


Yes But perhaps porsche have tampered with the laws of physics again, making a seemingly idiotic engine position seem brilliant again. And the porsche turbo is still a porsche, so it comes with the porsche mystique. Which isn't good.
this may be the case, i haven't driven a 997 turbo personally so i have little idea on it's handling :D but i have to ask if you have ever driven a porsche? if there's one thing that puts me off the turbo, it's the toneless exhaust note...

[Kitdy]

I think there needs to be some kind of vote. I am a big Porsche fan, but having said that the RR ssetup is simply stupid. I would opt for the F430 over the 997 turbo or the Gallardo - IF I had that kind of money, which I never will.

Not to big a fan of the DB9 or Vanquish, but the F430 is always good and that Continental GT looks nice. As for the Z06 route, the lingenfelter TT corvette is around $85-90k+base Z51 and has 725 hp/730 tq.

Performance terms your right but as a complete package(money aside) the gallardo is a much better car in my opinion. AWD, higher level of luxury, tasty V10 sound, italian lines etc. If dollar came into it the vette destroys it.
For me the new gen esprit but as it doesnt exist probably a DB9S.

probably a DB9S.
That doesn't exist either, at least yet.

Yes it does. The DB9S is the DB9 with the Sport package (wheels, suspension, undertray)

When it comes to lots of money and big power figures, then personally I'll have one of these over a Gallardo. Any other performance car, I'll take an older NSX.

How I wish BMW would bring out a CSL version of the M6, with proper aero addenda and an actual low(er) weight. Plus of course minus the governor or the iDrive. Well, iDrive could stay if it has only two options to choose from: fast and faster.

If they could price it low enough to be reasonable, I'd consider something like that. Not a supercar, but something that can do the business.

Here's an idea, why don't you start a new thread called Andy's random pictures or something and post your pictures there? That way they will probably be more appreciated and generate less negative feelings.

Is it something in the water?

And of course by more and less a CLK DTM you mean not really a CLK DTM, and by more powerful you mean less powerful.

[Cyco]

M15: So rare its yet to be built
Skyline: not an alternative

[Ferrer]

M15: So rare its yet to be built

And if he is lives in America both will be difficult to obtain, unpractical to run.
