My first thought was tall gearing that was optimized for high speed acceleration rather than off the line, but after looking it up, the gearing is actually lower than I expected (i.e. lower than a the T56 in the viper or Z06). Hrmmm.
Gallardo
1st gear ratio : 2.56:1 Max. speed : 97.5 Km/h (61 Mph)
2nd gear ratio : 1.85:1 Max. speed : 134.9 Km/h (84 Mph)
3rd gear ratio : 1.42:1 Max. speed : 175.5 Km/h (109 Mph)
4th gear ratio : 1.14:1 Max. speed : 219.2 Km/h (136 Mph)
5th gear ratio : 0.94:1 Max. speed : 265.9 Km/h (165 Mph)
6th gear ratio : 0.81:1 Max. speed : 314 Km/h (195 Mph)
Z06
I - 2.66 - 59 mph (7000 rpm)
II - 1.78 - 88 mph (7000 rpm)
III - 1.30 - 121 mph (7000 rpm)
IV - 1.00 - 157 mph (7000 rpm)
V - 0.74 - 198 mph (6500 rpm)
VI - 0.50 - 160 mph (3600 rpm)
