Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4

0-60 in 3.7 seconds

The 560-4 offers an aggressively militaristic redesign, a heavily revised engine with clever 'direct injection' and variable valve timing to reduce emissions and sharpen performance, revised suspension, and a reworked 'E-gear' automated manual transmission, meaning gear-shift times have dropped to 120 milliseconds. Inside, quality is higher than ever (Lamborghini's owner, Audi, is masterful at interior design) and there's huge scope for personalisation.
