Italian automaker Lamborghini never skimps on power. The Gallardo, the brand’s most affordable vehicle, comes with a V10 that delivers 552 hp (or 570 on the Superleggera). All this power is transferred to each of the four wheels via a 6-speed transmission. The Gallardo weighs about the same as a Nissan Sentra but offers more than four times the power – and of course if costs 16 times as much!
