Jeremy Clarkson’s 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo

Vosa Approved Test

These tests were carried out at Unit 33, Sugarbrook Road, Aston Fields Industrial Estate, Bromsgrove, B60 3DN, England, on September 16th 2008.

Vehicle: Lamborghini owned by Jeremy Clarkson from the BBC`s Top Gear.

Mileage: 4390
YOM: 2007
Variant: Gallardo

HC Testing:
The European Law allows a level of up to 0.25 for this vehicle, but, as you can see, this being a highly efficient engine already the output is only 0.19.

The first run on this car gave a power reading of 475.5hp and 366.5lbft torque on the dynometer.

Emissions of 0.01 on ZERO DRIFT and 0.01 in both mean value and FPT mean value.

As you can see, the test is completed under EU and UK specification of emissions control.

We now inserted 5ml of Oxytane at the correct ratio and then allowed the car to run at idle for 2 minutes.

At this point the engine was still at peak running temperature and the same level as the original test so we firstly tested the emissions, the car gave an instant drop in HC of 30% as well as a drop in idle from over 900 to 800rpm.
