I was very skeptical about the Gallardo... until I drove one (standard 520hp version with egear). The car is great. A unique character

I agree that the GT3 RS is cheaper. However, that is probably it. The Italians seem to develop more efficient cars than Porsche nowadays. Porsche has really lost its USP in that regard. Just look at the R8 test mentioned in another post. Porsche has been overtaken by its competitors in various segments. The most efficient sports cars are no longer produced in Zuffenhausen
