Modified RWD 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo - One Take

[@TheSmokingTire]

For those wondering why it was taken down and reposted - KZbin took an issue with the fact that Wype (who we're happy to have as a sponsor) provided us with much of the video footage in the ad. That, as I've learned, is against terms of service. If we are to do native ads, which we will continue to do 2-3 times per month, we have to shoot all the footage for the ad in house. It's not a big deal, and we did not get a strike, the video just got flagged and removed. Please upvote so people see this. - MF

[@tylerwatt12]

thanks for the clarification

[@ScottPC]

Wipe did sound like a toilet company though....

[@bonecrrusherSS]

Was that an ad for wiping your crack - or your car?

[@bingoberra18]

I think it would be benificial for Wipe to answer if wiping the car without much liquid may scratch the paint if there is dirt on it. From watching their ad it just seems like you can wipe the car as long as its clean. Well its not your problem.

[@LamborghiniBrotha1]

Hey Mat, I got about $7500 to work with. I want a muscle car so what do you suggest I get. I love power and interior doesn't bother me that much so I was thinking F-body. Would love your take though since you've driven literally everything at that price.

[@NeokingTech]

Is it just me or is the owner much better than these comments are claiming? Idk, but he seemed pretty chill to me. He maintained a good conversation with Matt and didn't have to be asked a question to talk or bring up a topic on his own. Sure, he may not have smiled a whole bunch and he was a bit snarky sometimes ("the brakes work"), but overall, he was engaged in the conversation with Matt pretty well. I don't get why everyone is saying he sucked and made this video depressing. He seemed pretty chill to me. You don't have to be uber enthusiastic and out there just to connect with someone...

[@tylerdowd]

lmfao matt's driving caught him off guard at the beginning!!

[@AimForTheBushes908]

lol thats great.

[@sprig6043]

Hell yeah. Lmfao

[@meteormedia7021]

01:09 Yes Matt, they do sound different. Thats because the early models have a totally different engine than the facelifted models from '08 to '14! The early cars feature the 5.0 litre port injected even-firing Lamborghini V10, the later cars feature the redesigned 5.2 litre FSI (direct injected) odd-firing Audi V10. The basic design for that engine came from Lamborghini, but it didn't really suffice for the standards that Audi had drawn out for the new engine they needed for the R8. Initially there were no plans to put a V10 into the R8, but later on the company decided that the R8 needed more power. So they took the Lamborghini-made 5.0 and redesigned it. The biggest changes Audi made were giving it the FSI treatment (Audi-speak for direct fuel injection), an odd firing order (!) and also higher compression ratio and slightly higher displacement by increasing the stroke slightly. The cylinder heads were also slightly modified for the engine to rev even higher. So basically exept for some of the accessories like the alternator no parts are interchangeable in between the older 5.0 and the newer 5.2. The engine (after the redesign) was then used in the first generation of the R8 V10 and also in the facelifted Gallardo ('08-'14), completely replacing the old 5.0. The difference in sound obviously comes from the different firing order. Since the 5.0 fires evenly, it has much more of a screamy tonality to it, kind of more what a straight 10 cylinder engine would sound like. In comparison the 5.2 has an odd firing order and hence it sounds a bit more burbly, more like two slightly offset inline five engines. Basically one could say the basic design of the glorious 5.2 FSI V10 is of Lamborghini origins, but it was heavily refined by Audi. Best of both worlds I'd say. I just hope it will sitck around for some more time, since its essentially the last big displacement, high-revving, naturally aspirated high-performance engine in a production car. Except for Porsche's 4.0 Flat Six, Ferrari's V12 and Lamorghini's V12 (of which the latter one will reach the end of its production life next model year).

[@stevegoyak9494]

he's prob a baccarat player

[@estew3y928]

"Yeah, it's more like a Ferrari actually." *Long dead serious pause*

[@bigdee140]

well Ferrari's are RWD they have a completely different way of steering that wasn't an insult in anyway . . .

[@sambassmanstoner]

There is a guy locally who drove one of these 2004's to 280,000 miles before he sold it. Apparently they are very reliable if you drive it a lot. He daily drove the thing, even in the Indiana winters. He finally replaced it with a Huracan (which he DDs again)and was talking about how difficult it was to find snow tires for the it, since they are so massive.

[@tylerdowd]

thats nuts

[@ptibab73]

450,000 kilometers? Did you add a 0 or something?

[@sambassmanstoner]

ptibab73 www.bollettinoonline.com/news/2014/4/442 Here's a little article about the car and owner.

[@ptibab73]

He said 100'000 miles (160 k kilometers)

[@sambassmanstoner]

ptibab73 Yeah, this interview was in 2014. He sold it early this year and bought the Huracan.

[@rubensstudio5662]

DAMN, STUNNING CAR YES THIS IS 2022 GOING ON 2023. TIMELESS MACHINE

[@Infantry4Life.WarFighters]

Can't believe its been 8 years. Super clean and beautiful Lambo. My dream car.

[@ChrisKennethJones]

I love how chill George is. Good looking & sounding car. Never would have considered this car if Matt hadn't featured it. Another reason I enjoy and watch Matt's videos.

[@PauloR2T]

Chill? He's nervous as fuck... And seems like a sad bloke too.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

I just bought a 14 Gallardo a few months ago and I absolutely LOVE it. I can't compare it to the Huracan but I definitely find it much more fun to drive than a 570s and even more fun than my Vette which I also like better than the 570s. That single clutch is really a lot of fun.

[@BenTroxell]

Damn, dude still looks just as unhappy as he did last time.

[@holdthissl]

Lmaooo

[@Bolek989]

Lmao

[@papayaman123]

[@HobbyTimeSeattle]

Mr serious over here.

[@Patrick94GSR]

making fun of people for how they look, what are y'all in junior high school or something? Come on, grow up. Some people just look more serious than others most of the time. I had a 6th grade teacher who looked super serious all the time, but in reality she was really funny.

[@Morelia300]

Wow, he turned it into such an amazing car. Very special just to see it.

[@tank2g2]

I know its a re-upload but I will happily watch it again because that engine is glorious

[@mazerrackham5959]

Ya this guy might seem kinda bland but he can have an actual conversation and gets along with matt he's cool

[@AngelInTheDesert]

I don't mind listening to this lovely V10 again!

[@Kaohteeko]

It was so good, matt had to upload twice!

[@Machineheadtim]

The original was Deleted because he isn't allowed (by youtube) to use sponsor given videos for the native ad, so he will have to film the ad himself if he wants to have one

[@anonymousanonymous9991]

Im 14 just did my first major fix on my 97 Mercury Mountaineer replacing the engine belt, tension-er, u-joint, sway bars, and power steering pump then rotating the tires (catty-corner since its AWD but the tires arent all the same size, yayyy...) insurance said the car was totaled so me and my mom went and took good parts off older f-150's and the like from a junkyard. Once I save up some money Im gonna rework the entire suspension and swap the AWD for the 4WD from the other model Mountaineer and do a little work on the engine. Gotta love bein broke, you learn stuff you usually wouldn't otherwise self taught haha

[@MochiSuu]

"ooh what does that button do" . . . classic! made me think of Dexter's sister, Deedee, destroying the laboratory after pushing the button :P

Very tasteful. JRZ's and soft tires make for a happy time.

[@gdlkinbi]

Guy owned a Porsche 911 Turbo, owns a Lamborghini & a Nissan GT-R yet he looks like a drone who never smiles or reacts except the first high RPM downshift.....I mean damn, how many guys would have a smile from ear to ear being able to drive this every day....

[@Treerootz1]

This guy is proof that money can't buy happiness. Try smiling once in your life instead of buying car upgrades, it'll do you some good.

[@conradlamyuen]

That sound is...just wow!

[@Sean-if7rp]

Really loved how Matt was so positive in this episode

[@Sean-if7rp]

***** Well that's great

[@madsupervilian.]

Tastefully modified, I keep coming back to this video. My friend just got a 2014 M6, thinking about a Lambo maybe

[@Revitalyzed]

Only here to re-drop my like and continue on with the NSX video. I don't think the ad was too long. Weird KZbin would pick on you about that.

[@googleboughtmee]

Holy shit he looks just like the other guy with the yellow rwd lambo

[@JonasRosenven]

Apparently they all look the same :)

[@BenTroxell]

THAT'S RACIST.

[@YouArentSlick]

Same exact mods too. I think Matt gained a little weight tho

[@JonasRosenven]

[@TWIRKNOLOVE]

lmao, great color.

[@JamesMotorsport]

dude thank you for that lol yellow my jizz

[@ChrisDorgan]

This deserves to be top comment haha! Brilliant!

[@enigmaPL]

5:50 is great too. In fact, I just rewatched the whole thing with captions on, and I had a good laugh. This might be my new favorite thing to have on videos. Never bothered with it, but it being so incorrect most of the time, make it hilarious.

[@thapeloafrika6459]

lmfao hilarious

[@Federstahl]

there were several accidents (some of them fatal) with RWD converted earlier Gallardos in Europe due to the rear end failing under the added load without AWD. Seems the rear axle and suspension is not strong enough once the front drive shafts are out. A few months ago a RWD converted Gallardo ripped out the whole rear left suspension and spun off the road in France, just to have the exactly same accident happen only a few weeks later in southern Germany with another RWD modified Gallardo. The modifications leading to the Balboni were much more intensive than just taking out the front drive shafts like so many people did with their Gallardos. These conversions have to be done super properly to be save, it seems.

[@ct1762]

ill bet george is fun at parties

[@aarvin1]

lol

[@misterawesome1234]

doesnt need to be, hes got lambo lol

To be fair he seemed more normal as the video went on

A Shore Normal isn't much of a compliment though.

You planning on doing a one take on the 2.7 ecoboost AWD Fusion. I'm really curious to see how well ford did on it, the numbers look pretty good.

[@nickelndiminit5136]

The real question is whether or not this becomes a drivers car without the awd. It has got to better...because rwd + v10 = where do I sign?

[@kmanzszs]

+MrGhost370 Lamborghini made a 2WD gallardo the year after the balboni came out

[@kmanzszs]

+MrGhost370 search "manual gallardo" first video that pops up is by car and driver magazine

[@whispercars306]

But 0-100 km/hr would be better in the AWD, plus AWD would better for all weather conditions.

[@nickelndiminit5136]

+Whisper Cars True, no arguments there. I lived at 7000 foot elevation. Rwd and black ice covered in light powder is useless. Nothing like the bond movies, lol.

[@iLLGT2]

+MrGhost370 they actually made a 50th anniversary lp560 rwd with carbon buckets and manual. As for rwd experience it's something I'm contemplating for my Superleggera even though on my road trip through the same canyons in california the stick was immense and ass end still playful... As for a regular Gallardo not sure on its playfulness
