Lamborghini has thrown down the gauntlet to its parent company, Audi, by offering the Gallardo at a huge discount.
While the Audi R8 V10 Plus lists at $408,200 plus on-roads, Lamborghini Australia is tempting buyers by offering the Gallardo LP550-2 for $359,000 drive-away - a difference of over $65,000 when on-road costs are factored in.
Compared to the R8, the 412kW Lamborghini trumps the 404kW output of Audi's V10, despite the engines' similarity.
And, with rear-wheel-drive rather than the Audi's all-wheel-drive layout, driving enthusiasts could be excused for opting for the cheaper car.
