|  |  | | Such a braking system, which also features a state of the art ABS/ESP system, guarantees excellent brake efficiency (deceleration over 1.1 g on dry) and the absence of fading phenomenon also after extreme use. The full stability control system (ESP) has been conceived and calibrated in order to assist the driver in demanding conditions, while still allowing a true sports driving experience.
Passive Safety
Lamborghini Gallardo well exceeds all the European and North American safety standards. Just for example, driver's and passenger's "dual stage" front airbags (complying also with future "out of position requirements"), side "head-thorax" airbags and doors anti-intrusion bars are standard in all versions.
Lamborghini Gallardo Performances
The high engine power and torque output permit a top speed of 309 km/h and high acceleration capabilities.
This top speed is reached guaranteeing an excellent car stability and controllability.
Indeed, in addition to the optimisation of the suspension characteristics, a must was the definition of the correct aerodynamic features, by concentrating not only on the reduction of the drag coefficient, but, even more important, on the control of the front and rear lift coefficients. Such a study lead to important aerodynamic body refinements (e.g. front flap, flat bottom) and to the implementation of a rear spoiler, electronically controlled as a function of the vehicle speed.
