With the Lamborghini Huracan packing more of a punch than the Gallardo and being friendlier to the scales, you would imagine that Huracan drivers have nothing to fear when they come across a retired V10 Raging Bull on the German Autobahn.
Well, that kind of assumption is wrong, since the Gallardo's generous life cycle means the platform has become one of the tuning world's favorite children. As such, the density of modded machines among the Gallardo population can be surprisingly high.

Interestingly, most tuners and owners have understood that messing with the Sant'Agata Bolognese styling cues isn't a good idea, so the majority of tuned Gallardos don't go past the added fixed wing phase.

The freshest example of an encounter such as the one described above comes from the piece of footage at the bottom of the page. This shows us what happens when a Huracan and a Gallardo, which appears to have been modified, go out to play on the German Autobahn.

We'll start by mentioning the Huracan, which serves as a camera vehicle, comes with a custom exhaust, so the soundtrack of the adventure is nothing short of spectacular - not that the tuning bit would've been required for the supercar to deliver superb aural treats.

It seems like the young Bull is having a hard time keeping up with the Gallardo at times, hence the aftermarket conclusion - we're talking about an early Gallardo Spyder here, with the almost-affordable nature of the car, as well as its age, determining many owners to go down the tuning path.

As a bonus, the Gallardo comes with a stick shift, so at least we know its driver is working hard to run away from the Huracan. Oh, and remember not to try this at home, or on restricted pieces of the Autobahn.
