Why Car Mash-Ups Are All The Rage

September 2012 Issue
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale
(Audi + Lamborghini)
$261,395
This sexy beast is the progeny of two great sports cars with two very different personalities: The Gallardo is the fiery Italian version of Audi's Teutonic-cool R8. And that Audi connection—a shared V-10 engine—has helped make this Gallardo the most approachable Lamborghini in history. Or at least as approachable as a luxury sports car can be.
