In 2003, Lamborghini introduced a model that cost less than the Murciélago and was named gallardo.
After this car came to the Chinese market, it was called "big bull" and "little cow", of which the calf was Gallardo. It is the best-selling product in the history of the Lamborghini brand, with more than 8,588 units sold in just three years on the market and more than 40,000 units sold cumulatively.
In the ten years it has been on sale, Lamborghini has created more than 30 different versions of the Gallardo model, but you have never seen the following one.
"Lamborghini Gallardo 4X4"
This is not a Lamborghini product, but a cottage product born in a modification studio. As can be seen from the big rooster on the ground, the management of this factory is very casual, because it is not a modification factory specializing in luxury cars, but a workshop in Thailand.
In Thailand, it is very difficult to own a supercar, because Thailand's import tariffs on cars are very high, as high as 80% on this alone, in addition to consumption tax, value-added tax, which adds up to a price that ordinary people cannot reach.
But this has also spawned many retrofit workshops that make cottage supercars, often using existing models as a basis to reproduce the appearance of a certain sports car by hand, such as converting the Toyota MR2 into a Porsche Boxster.
For example, this "Porsche Boxster" sells for 140,000 yuan, while the genuine one costs 10 million baht, or about 2 million yuan, which is a huge difference. With the continuous improvement of the factory's skills, the workmanship of these cottage models has gradually improved. Here I would like to say (support the genuine product, put an end to copycats) bar.
Back to this "Lamborghini Gallardo 4X4", like most copycat models, this Lamborghini is not originally modified. The chassis comes from a Toyota Hilux, or What we often call Hilux, and the engine is a 2UZ-FE V8 engine from Lexus.
In Thailand, Hilax is also a god car in the straight-line race, usually by replacing the 2JZ-GTE engine and the Garrett G42 1200 turbocharger to improve performance, and what can be achieved through these two artifacts depends on the craftsmanship of the modifiers.
The Lamborghini Gallardo is not a complete replica, and it can be seen that the refit factory wanted to design it as a sports car with off-road capabilities, so it used increased suspension and exaggerated off-road tires.
The interior part is a reproduction of the original Lamborghini design, all shapes are made of fiberglass, including sports seats.
It is reported that the refit plant wants to sell the final product for $42,000, which is not cheap.
But an original Lamborghini Huracan sold in Thailand for at least $644,687, a 15-fold difference.
At present, this Lamborghini Gallardo 4X4 has not yet been made, after the finished product comes out, I will show you the first time, what do you think about this car, please leave your insights in the comment area.
