Need a vehicle to haul, get a.....Gallardo?

While perusing auction listings of cars I can't afford, as one does, I came across the payload sticker for a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo.

It's rated at 1,800 kg, or 3,973lbs. Just to put that into a metric we can all understand, that would be equivalent to an 18" x 18" x 18" cube of tungsten. As a further point of comparison, it's just over 4x the payload capacity of my '22 Tacoma (945 lbs, which is egregiously low)

Nothing else to add, just found it surprising. 

In reply to Fupdiggity :

You are mixing up payload with Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle itself. 

GVWR minus curb weight equals payload

So, Edmunds puts the weight of one at 3,560 for a 2005 https://www.edmunds.com/lamborghini/gallardo/2005/features-specs/

So, 3,973 - 3,560 = 413, which would be for two passengers and a tank of gas.

GVWR minus payload equals  curb* weight.

According to those door placards, payload is 3973 and GVWR is 3968... Per Lamborghini, the as-built curb weight on that particular car is -5lbs.

* Curb weight also accounts for all fluids, including full tank of gas.

yup, had the same initial reaction, but it's showing payload, not GVWR. Now, the sticker above shows GVWR of 3,968 lbs, so clearly the payload sticker is wrong. I guess we can take comfort knowing that despite its German underpinnings, it's still a 'lambo.
