The 5.0 has that magic extra tone that the 5.2 doesnt have. The 5.2 is more agressive, but the 5.0 has that beautiful V10 tone that the LFA has as well. Like a crying dark force, so beautifull
5.0 got the higher pitch almost like LF-As 5.2 sounds deeper and intimidating with the downlow and mid rev rumble 5.0 sounds better for Gallardos 5.2 fits perfectly for Huracans
" 5.0 got the higher pitch almost like LF-As " - Maybe with a aftermarket exhausts on it can sound like a LF-A, stock form it sounds like a dodge viper. and the LF-A like a carrera gt
A friend of my father’s back in the day had a red gallardo 5.0. He always made this joke to the 5.2 owners, he’d say “you bought the wrong gallardo fool!” And now I know what he meant by this
The 5.0 is a Lamborghini developed engine. This engine has its origins in two concept cars made by Lamborghini, the 1988 P140 and the 1995 Calà. Both were equipped with engines having a 3.9 litre displacement. In the early 2000s Lamborghini brought back the V10 design. With help from Audi, the engine was redesigned for the new Gallardo by increasing its displacement. The 5.2 is an Audi developed engine, based on the Audi 4.2 V8. The early version of this Audi V10 found in the S6 and S8, had a split-pin crankshaft inspired by the Lamborghini V10, giving the early Audi 5.2's an even firing order as well. The 5.0 bi-turbo V10 in the RS6 was a destroked version of this early Audi 5.2, but now with a common-pin cranckshaft for extra strength and simplicity, instead of the split-pin. This common-pin cranckshaft gave the RS6 V10 an uneven firing order. The final Audi 5.2 V10 found in the R8 and later Gallardo would be a combination of the S6/S8 capacity, and the RS6 simpler and stronger crankshaft. Lamborghinis own 5.0 got the Gallardo quickly of the ground in 2003. But by the mid/late-00's, with Audi/VAG having a fully developed V10 of their own with more power potential (at lower cost), It made more sense for Audi to use their V10 engine in the baby-Lambo. The Lamborghini 5.0 was discontinued in 2008, and the Audi 5.2 V10 introduced the same year in the Audi R8 and facelifted Gallardo. The Audi 5.2 V10 engine is still used in the Huracán today, - and soon the Huracán exclusively. I personaly like the sound of an even-firing V10 better. Uneven firing makes an engine sound heavier at top rpm, and rougher in the middle. Which I don't think suits the high hot-headed tone of a V10.
The C6 Audi S6 5.2 V10 as well as the D3 S8 is actually a stroked version of the even firing 5.0 Lamborghini V10 and not the 5.2 FSI unit we see today. The sound is very distinct and instantly recognizable for its high pitched and more refined sound. Later Audi V10s were the uneven firing FSI engines but not those.
@@samvimes1083 No actually the 5.2's were derivatives of the 4.2 N/A V8 and the engine in the R8 had a stronger and a different crank to allow it to rev more freely
Aww man. I'm getting a bit emotional cos of the nostalgia with the 5.0L Gallardo's sound. I used to love that car and still do. I used to play with that car in Need for Speed and I loved it. I was really young back then as well.
5 litres for me! It's more organic. The whole car is just more natural too. I like the looks better. I've experienced my one and only supercar drive in a Gallardo 5.0 V10 Spyder. 40 minutes of glory!
5.0 actually has an EVEN firing interval. (72 deg firing interval with the 90 deg vee-angle) 5.2 has uneven firing interval. (uneven firing interval of either 54 deg or 90 deg separation)
@@ssxxszs6570 It is popular to convert LP500 Gallardo to have LP560 headlamps, brakelamps, spoiler, hood, etc. It is also cosmetically-appealing to convert parking brake handle/bezel around e-gear/door handles to carbon fiber, and steering wheel/seats in alcantara, to modernize the interior
@@rosemaryfriedw124a8 not sure - the viper sounds very deep compare to the Gallardo, it might be the 8L displacement… but they are both even firing. The viper is also more primitive tech, using push rods
A smooth , uniform sound is always more pleasing to the ear than an interrupted pulsing sound. Add harmonics to the smooth sound and you have good sounding car. Some people have a nostalgic affinity to harsher uneven sounds but that's wrong and I hate them 🤣
The 5.0 or the even firing motor produces a much smoother sound the 5.2 don’t sound as easy on the ears I mean it might be sounding good but it won’t have the same effect the 5.0 had
I have the LP560-4, and a friend of mine has the first gen Gallardo. They both sound awesome, but even he admits, my LP560-4 sounds better in person. Videos do not do these cars justice, at all.
Got a Gallardo, 08 Spyder got next to a Huracan and everyone said the Gallardo sounded so much better. The 5.2 might look better but the heart is in the engine. To me the 2 best sounding v10s is the 5.0L Gallardo and the LFA. Then the Carrera GT. The rest sound ok
I really don't get this. If you open up the self-study program for Audi's 5.2 TFSI engine, it CLEARLY states that it's an even-firing engine, since it has a split-pin offset by 18 degrees, there's even sketches and illustrations of it and everything. But everywhere else you go, it's the other way around? Search "5.2 tfsi 923603" on google and read the PDF.
The 5.0 has such a beautiful tone, the only thing is its pitch doesn't quite go that high, feels like it doesn't scream all the way up, just like the Dodge Viper. 5.2 definitely is better in that aspect, but man, I wish the 5.0 did that.
5.0= exotic notes 5.2= modern notes the 2008-13 gallardo looks more exotic than the OG ('03-07) gallardo but lacks on the heart. sounds meh. and so, the 2003-2007 gallardo looks even better than it's updated one.
there unique in their own way. I love the sound of the 5.2 it sounds really aggressive and I love the deep tone but then there's the 5.0 with that screaming tone at high rpms. Would also love to see a 5.0 with LP body panels and lights as I am a bigger fan of the LP looks
5.2 liter v10 developed by lambo for an facelift gallardo, it is a clean sheet design, not o rehash of audi v10 contary to rumors. Also maurizzio reggiani says this is lambo engine
The 5.0L Sounds better, not so obnoxious. More reliable engine I presume. Still ridiculously fast and a daily driver. I'll have a dark blue one please .
There both great 😊 sounding I had Lamborghini fly past me recently and at 140 miles per hour and it sounded so good I am taking to wife that we should live in a r/v and we would have no problem 😉 affording it and so far she has not responded to the conversation and that’s the problem with relationships communication is key 🔑 😊
@@55Berg It took me 6 months to realize Lamborghini used a different exhaust set up later in the 5.0's lifetime to make it sound like an odd firing engine. If you put an aftermarket exhaust on, you can get the even firing sound back
Awesome video! I'm thinking of creating a nice compilation in topic of this video, would be nice and honored to include your video, full credited of course, what do you say? Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
Why do some 1st Gen gallardos not have the high pitched scream and some do? Like the orange superleggera vs the one at 1:10 which sounds like the one I’ve been in
