Ferruccio Lamborghini, an Italian manufacturing magnate, founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 to compete with established marques, including Ferrari. The company was noted for using a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Lamborghini grew rapidly during its first decade, but sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 worldwide financial downturn and the oil crisis. The firm's ownership changed three times after 1973, including a bankruptcy in 1978. American Chrysler Corporation took control of Lamborghini in 1987 and sold it to Malaysian investment group Mycom Setdco and Indonesian group V'Power Corporation in 1994. In 1998, Mycom Setdco and V'Power sold Lamborghini to the Volkswagen Group where it was placed under the control of the group's Audi division.

In 1958, Lamborghini traveled to Maranello to buy a Ferrari 250 GT: a two-seat coupé with a body designed by coachbuilder Pininfarina. He went on to own several more over the years, including a Scaglietti-designed 250 GT SWB Berlinetta and a 250 GT 2+2 four-seater. Lamborghini thought Ferrari's cars were good, but too noisy and rough to be proper road cars. He categorized them as repurposed track cars with poorly built interiors.

Period Ferraris had spartan interiors, lacking the plush appointments Lamborghini felt were essential to a gran turismo car

Lamborghini found that Ferrari's cars were equipped with inferior clutches, and required continuous trips to Maranello for rebuilds; technicians would secret the car away for several hours to perform the work, much to Lamborghini's annoyance. He had previously expressed dissatisfaction with Ferrari's after sales service, which he perceived to be substandard. Lamborghini brought his misgivings to Enzo Ferrari's attention, but was dismissed by the notoriously pride-filled Modenan.  After successfully modifying one of his personally-owned Ferrari 250 GTs to outperform stock models, Lamborghini gained the impetus to pursue an automobile manufacturing venture of his own, aiming to create the perfect touring car that he felt no one could build for him. Lamborghini believed that a grand tourer should have attributes that were lacking in Ferrari's offerings, namely high performance without compromising tractability, ride quality, and interior appointments. A clever businessman, Lamborghini also knew that he could make triple the profit if the components used in his tractors were installed in a high-performance exotic car instead.

miura

Very few cars managed to change the automobile world like the Miura. It was the first true supercar. It had a radical specification in relation to common engineering of the time. The Miura was endowed with a quad-cam V12 that sat transverse and behind the drivers. Immediately, everything from Ferrari to Aston Martin looked outdated by comparison upon release. It redefined the concept of a sports car. Below we dive into the details on the variants made by Lamborghini.

espada

The Lamborghini Espada was unveiled at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show, after Ferruccio Lamborghini demanded the creation of a proper four-seater. During its ten-year production, the Espada received several modifications. While the engine and the interior were changed with each series, the design of the bodywork remained almost untouched. The Espada became Lamborghini's bestseller from 1968 to 1978.

islero

The Islero was introduced at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show alongside the Lamborghini Espada. While both automobiles featured a 2+2 coupé body style, the Islero was intended to be a more visually conservative alternative to the then-radical Espada, in keeping with the traditional style of the earlier 400 GT. The car's namesake, Islero, was a Miura bull that killed matador Manuel Rodriguez "Manolete" on August 28, 1947. Lamborghini also produced a car named the Miura, from 1966 to 1973, while the Murcielago was named after another famous individual Miura bull.

Carrozzeria Marazzi was chosen to construct the Islero's body. This firm was chosen as it was founded by Carlo Marazzi, a former employee of the now-bankrupt Carrozzeria Touring. Touring had previously produced bodies for the 350 GT and 400 GT.

The Islero had a 325 bhp  4.0 L  Lamborghini V12 engine, as was also used in the 400 GT, Miura, Espada and Jarama. Six Weber 40 DCOE carburetors provided air and fuel. The Lamborghini-designed five-speed manual transmission was equipped with syncromesh and a hydraulically operated dry clutch. The Islero's top speed was rated at 154 mph (248 km/h) and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h took 6.4 seconds

jarama

In 1970 Lamborghini designed the Islero to meet the demand of the American market. When it came time to replace it, instead of just redesigning the Islero, Lamborghini instead made the Jarama, filling the spot which would have been taken by a second generation of the Islero. Introduced in 1970 at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini built the Jarama to meet U.S. standards using a version of the Espada chassis that had had its wheelbase shortened by 27cm. The Iso Lele and the Lamborghini Jarama share similarities in their exterior styling and were both styled by Marcello Gandini. A total of 328 Jaramas were built.

The Jarama weighed 1,450 kilograms  dry, heavier than the Islero. It is powered by the same 3.9 L  Lamborghini V12 engine used in the Islero and Espada, which was heavily derived from the engine used in the earlier 400 GT. The engine was fitted with six Weber 40 DCOE carburetors and sent power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. The original Jarama (1970–1973) model was claimed to produce 350 bhp. Early Jaramas featured center-locking magnesium alloy wheels, as used on the Miura and S1/S2 Espadas.

The Jarama S (also known as Jarama GTS) was introduced in 1972. The exhaust system, heads and carburetors were revised, resulting in a power increase to 365 bhp. The S featured a few minor body modifications including a hood scoop, exhaust vents in the fenders, windshield position adjustments and relocated turn signals. 

urraco

The car is a 2+2 coupé with body designed by Marcello Gandini, at the time working for Carrozzeria Bertone. Rather than being another range topping sports car, like the Lamborghini Miura, the Urraco was intended to be more affordable and an alternative to the contemporary Ferrari Dino and Maserati Merak.

When production ceased in 1979, 791 Urracos had been built, of which 21 were Urraco P111s (P250 Tipo 111s) for the American market. In order to comply with American regulations, these cars had larger front bumpers and emissions controls, the latter resulting in less horsepower. The other Urraco versions were the Urraco P200, Urraco P250 and Urraco P300 with 2-litre, 2.5-litre, and 3-litre V8s respectively.

Both the Lamborghini Silhouette, with its detachable roof panel, and its successor Lamborghini Jalpa, with a 3.5 litre V-8 engine, were based upon the Urraco.

countach

1974-1990

The style was introduced to the public in 1970 as the Lancia Stratos Zero concept car. The first showing of the Countach prototype was at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, as the Lamborghini LP500 concept. The development of the Countach was initiated by Ferruccio Lamborghini with the goal of creating a successor to the Lamborghini Miura. The Miura was widely acclaimed after its introduction in 1966, but by 1970 new competitors including the Ferrari Daytona had been introduced to the market, and the Miura was showing its age. The Countach name originated in late 1970 or 1971. Most previous and subsequent Lamborghini car names are associated with famous bulls and bullfighting, but the Countach broke with this tradition. The name originated from the word contacc, an exclamation of astonishment in the Piedmontese language.

The Countach was styled by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone design studio. His design for the Countach's predecessor, the Miura, achieved commercial success and critical acclaim from the automotive press when it was introduced in March 1966.

The Countach was designed around the existing Lamborghini V12 engine in a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. In contrast to the Miura's transversely-mounted engine, the engine in the Countach was longitudinally-mounted. This layout was a first for a road-going V12, previously used only in the Ferrari P-series racing cars. The Lamborghini V12 used in the Countach originated in 1963 and was designed by Giotto Bizzarrini. Versions of this engine were used in preceding and then currently produced Lamborghini models including the 350 GT, 400 GT, Islero, Espada and Miura. As used in the Miura, this engine had a 3,929 cc, a 60º cylinder bank angle, double overhead camshafts per bank, two valves per cylinder, lubrication and distributor ignition. Paolo Stanzani's engineering team wished to increase the Countach engine's power over the maximum of 379 PS.

In time the power output went up to over 400 hp.

Arriving in 1988, the 25th Anniversary Edition Countach received an even more outrageous restyle by Horacio Pagani (yes, that Horatio Pagani). The 25th Anniversary Edition Countach was often seen as a tribute to 1980s excess as well as a caricature of the earliest Periscopio models. Mechanically, it was nearly identical to the 5000QV, except that several changes were made to solve well known Countach issues. This would be the last countach ever.

silhouette

The Lamborghini Silhouette P300 is a two-door two-seat mid-engined rear-wheel drive sports car, that was made in small numbers by Lamborghini between 1976 and 1979. Officially presented at the 1976 Geneva Auto Show, the Silhouette began as a styling exercise by noted Italian Carrozzeria Bertone. It was based on the earlier Lamborghini Urraco, but was distinguished from the Urraco by more angular styling. The Silhouette was the first Lamborghini to employ a targa top roof. The Silhouette later evolved into the similar looking but more successful Lamborghini Jalpa. The car had a 3.0-litre all-aluminium alloy Lamborghini V8 engine mounted transversely behind the driver. Of the 54 units built (12 with right-hand drive), 31 are currently known to exist.

Official performance figures indicate the Silhouette could complete the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 6.5 seconds, 0 to 161 km/h in 16.1 seconds, and could reach a top speed of 260 km/h.  It was Lamborghini’s first open model which used a removable roof that could be stored behind the rear seats. Only 54 were produced.

jalpa

The Jalpa was a development of the earlier Silhouette intended to fill a role as a more "affordable" Lamborghini, being much less expensive than the flagship Countach and being also designed by Bertone. Compared to the Countach, the Jalpa was much easier to drive, having better visibility and being more tractable in heavy traffic and at slow speeds, although reviewers have noted that it had a heavy steering and accelerator.

The Jalpa was fitted with a 3.5 L  double overhead camshaft version of the V8 engine used in the Silhouette on which it was based. The version used in the Jalpa had a power output of 255 hp at 7,000 rpm and 225 lb⋅ft of torque at 4,000 rpm in European specification. The engine in the US models had a power output of 250 hp. Lamborghini claimed the Jalpa could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h  in 6.0 seconds.

In 1988, after falling sales, the new owners, Chrysler, decided to end Jalpa production despite its being Lamborghini's second most successful V8 car to date (after the Urraco), having sold 410 units.

lm002

1986-1993

Lamborghini built its first military vehicle, a prototype vehicle codenamed "Cheetah", in 1977. Lamborghini had designed the vehicle with hopes of selling it to companies in the oil exploration and production industry. The original Cheetah prototype had a rear-mounted Chrysler V8 engine. The only finished prototype was never tested by the U.S. military, only demonstrated to them by its designer, Rodney Pharis.

It was finally determined that the engine being mounted in the rear caused too many unfavourable handling characteristics in an offroad vehicle, and the LMA002 was built with an entirely new chassis, moving the engine (now the V12 out of the Lamborghini Countach) to the front. After much testing and altering of the prototype, it was finally given a serial number and became the first LM002. The production model was unveiled at the Brussels Auto Show in 1986. It was dubbed the "Rambo-Lambo".^[4] Civilian models were outfitted with a full luxury package, including full leather trim, tinted power windows, air conditioning, and a premium stereo mounted in a roof console. In order to meet the vehicle's tire needs, Lamborghini commissioned Pirelli to create the Pirelli Scorpion tires with custom, run-flat tread designs. These were made specifically for the LM and were offered in two different tread designs, one for mixed use and the other for sand use only. These tires could be run virtually flat without risk and could handle the desert heat, the loading, and the speeds of the LM. The LM002 was fitted with a 169-litre  fuel tank.

diablo

At a time when the company was financed by the Swiss-based brothers Jean Claude and Patrick Mimran, Lamborghini began development of what was codenamed Project 132 in June 1985 as a replacement for the Countach, Lamborghini's then flagship sports car. The brief stated that the top speed of the new car had to be at least 315 km/h.

The design of the car was contracted to Marcello Gandini, who had designed its two predecessors. When Chrysler Corporation bought the company in 1987, funding the company to complete the car's development, its management was uncomfortable with Gandini's designs and commissioned its design team in Detroit to execute a third extensive redesign, smoothing out the infamous sharp edges and corners of Gandini's original design, and leaving him famously unimpressed. In fact, Gandini was so disappointed with the "softened" shape that he would later realise his original design in the Cizeta-Moroder V16T.

The new car was named Diablo, carrying on Lamborghini's tradition of naming its cars after breeds of fighting bulls. The Diablo was named after a ferocious bull raised by the Duke of Veragua in the 19th century, famous for fighting an epic battle with 'El Chicorro' in Madrid on 11 July 1869.

Its power came from a 5.7 L  dual overhead cam, 4 valves per cylinder version of the existing V12 engine and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection, producing a maximum output of 492 PS. The vehicle could reach 0-100 km/h  in about 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h.

Following the failure of the two concepts. Piëch initiated development work of the successor of the Diablo from scratch. The design work was entrusted to the then Lamborghini chief designer Luc Donckerwolke and thus the Murciélago was developed.

Many automotive enthusiasts know that Lamborghini has a troubled history. After its initial fame sprang from the international success of the Miura, the majority stake was sold by Ferruccio in a moment of crisis in 1973. After this first sale, in around 20 years the company changed owners three more times up until 1998 when it was finally acquired by Volkswagen and placed under the Audi group. Lamborghini was 60% owned by companies controlled by “Tommy” Suharto, son of former Indonesian President Suharto. MyCom Berhad, a Malaysian financial company, controled 40%.

From then on, the automaker started growing more and more steadily, affirming itself as one of the most iconic brands in the luxury performance segment. Despite being a low-volume manufacturer, it remains at the bleeding edge of performance and technological innovation.

The first new Lamborghini release under the Audi ownership was the Murciélago, with project manager Maurizio Reggiani and CEO Giuseppe Greco. Launched in 2001, in its first full year increased Lamborghini’s sales by 42%, with 442 units sold. Up until then, with the Diablo, annual sales were around 200 vehicles per year, but the model had already been around for over a decade. Murciélago was overall a big success for the company selling 4099 cars in a decade.

Audi, in fact, created a perfect synergy. A strong and established design language, high performance and innovation are supplied with state-of-the-art technology and electronics.

murcielago

The manufacturer's first new design in eleven years, the car was also the brand's first new model under the ownership of German parent company Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen. The Murciélago is designed by Peruvian-born Belgian Luc Donckerwolke, Lamborghini's head of design from 1998 to 2005.

A roadster variant was introduced in 2003, followed by the more powerful and updated LP 640 coupé and roadster and a limited edition LP 650–4 Roadster. The final variation to wear the Murciélago nameplate was the LP 670–4 SuperVeloce, powered by the largest and final evolution of the original Lamborghini V12 engine. Production of the Murciélago ended on 5 November 2010, with a total production run of 4,099 cars. Its successor, the Aventador, was unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

The Murciélago is an all-wheel drive, mid-engine sports car. With an angular design and an exceptionally low slung body, the highest point of the roof is just under 1.2 m above the ground. One of the vehicle's most distinguishing features is its scissor doors which lend to the extreme image. The first generation of the Murciélago was produced between 2001 and 2006 and was powered by a Lamborghini V12 that traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. 

The first generation cars were known simply as Murciélago, sometimes Murciélago VT. The 6,192 cc naturally aspirated V12 engine installed in the first generation cars generated a maximum power output of 580 PS  at 7,500 rpm and 650 N⋅m  of torque at 5,400 rpm, accelerating the car from a stand still to 100 km/h  in 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 333 km/h.

gallardo

The first generation of the Gallardo was powered with an even firing 5.0 L 90 degree V10 engine generating a maximum power output of 500 PS at 7500 rpm and 510 N⋅m of torque at 4500 RPM. The Gallardo was offered with two choices of transmission; a conventional (H-pattern) six-speed manual transmission, and a six-speed electro-hydraulically actuated single-clutch automated manual transmission that Lamborghini called "E-gear".

For the 2006 model year (launched in late 2005), Lamborghini introduced many changes to the car to counter some criticisms garnered from the press and owners. The exhaust system was changed to a more sporty one (including a flap to make it quieter during city driving), the suspension was revised, a new steering rack was fitted, the engine power was increased by 20 PS to a maximum of 520 PS, and the biggest change was overall lower gearing ratios, especially in 1st to 5th gear. These changes gave the car a much better performance than the original and were also included in the limited edition Gallardo SE.

The convertible variant of the Gallardo, called the Gallardo Spyder, was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2006. It was considered by the company to be an entirely new model, with the engine having a power output of 520 PS  and a low-ratio six-speed manual transmission. The Spyder has a retractable soft-top.

Presented at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, the Gallardo LP 560-4 was a significant update of the Gallardo, powered by a new, uneven firing 5.2 L  V10 engine that produces 560 PS at 8,000 rpm and 540 N⋅m of torque at 6,500 rpm. Featuring "Iniezione Diretta Stratificata" direct fuel injection system to improve efficiency; fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions have been reduced by 18% despite the increase in performance. The car was redesigned, inspired by the Murciélago LP 640 and Reventón.

reventón

The Lamborghini Reventón is a mid-engine sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Its top speed is 340 km/h. The official press release stated that only 20 vehicles would be sold to the public, with one additional car (marked as 00/20) produced for the Lamborghini museum. Each car is stamped with its number in the sequence of 20 between the driver's and passenger's seats.

While the exterior is new,  almost all the mechanical elements, including the engine, are sourced directly from the Murciélago LP640. According to the official press release, the Reventón's exterior styling was inspired by "the fastest airplanes". The car is named after a fighting bull, in line with Lamborghini tradition.

The engine is the same taken from the Murciélago LP640 6,496 cc  V12 now upgraded to 650 PS at 8,000 rpm and 660 N⋅m of torque at 6,000 rpm. The car accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and can attain a maximum speed of over 340 km/h.

Of the original 20 coupes, 10 were delivered to the United States, seven to Europe, one to Canada, and two to Asia. One of them is in the possession of the Head of Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov.

reventón roadster

A roadster version of the vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car would use the engine from the Murciélago LP 670–4 Super Veloce. In June 2009, Autocar published a report saying that potential buyers have been shown the car, although a Lamborghini spokesman told the publication that reports of the car were "just speculation". Production was set for a run of 15 units, with a MSRP of €1,100,000. The actual price, however, increased twofold to around US$2,100,000, due to high demand. The Reventón Roadster has a slightly lower top speed than the Reventón despite having more power, at 330 km/h, and takes 3.4 seconds to reach 100 km/h. This is due to the chassis reinforcing components to compensate for the loss of the roof. The car also features deployable roll hoops which quickly extend to protect the car's occupants in the event of a rollover.

aventador

2011-2019

Launched on 28 February 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, five months after its initial unveiling in Sant'Agata Bolognese, the vehicle, internally codenamed LB834, was designed to replace the then-decade-old Murciélago as the new flagship model. Soon after the Aventador's unveiling, Lamborghini announced that it had sold 12 cars, with deliveries starting in the second half of 2011. By March 2016, Lamborghini had built 5,000 Aventadors, in five years.

The Aventador LP700-4 is the first iteration of the Aventador and was designed by Filippo Perini. Production of the Aventador was planned to be limited to 4,000 vehicles; however, in 2016, it achieved the 5,000 unit milestone. The moulds used to make the carbon-fibre monocoque are expected to last 500 moulds each and only 8 have been made.

The car's shape borrows heavily from Lamborghini's limited-edition Reventón and the Estoque concept car. The Aventador LP700–4 uses Lamborghini's new 700 PS  6.5 L 60° V12 engine weighing 235 kg. Known internally as the L539, the new engine is Lamborghini's fifth in-house engine and second V12 design. It is the first all-new V12 since the 3.5 litre powerplant found in the 350GT.

veneno

The Lamborghini Veneno is a limited-run, one-off supercar based on the Aventador LP700-4. The Veneno was developed to celebrate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary. It was introduced at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. When introduced, it had a price of US$4,000,000, making it one of the most expensive production cars in the world. The 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 and generates a power output of 750 PS at 8,400 rpm and 690 N⋅m  of torque at 5,500 rpm. The increase in power was achieved by enlarging the air intakes and modifying the exhaust system. Lamborghini built just five examples of the Veneno Coupé: one for factory testing (dubbed Car Zero), one retained for the factory, and three cars for customers, all of which were customised to customer specifications. In addition to the coupé, only nine units of the roadster were produced, which were all sold out.

centenario

The Lamborghini Centenario is a one-off supercar, based on the Aventador SV. The Centenario coupé and roadster was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show to commemorate the 100th birthday of the company's founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini.^[58] Power comes from a tuned version of the 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 from the Aventador SV now generating  781 PS at 8,500 rpm and 690 N⋅m  of torque at 5,500 rpm, therefore increasing power over the Aventador SV by 20 PS. The Centenario also has a slight weight reduction compared with the Aventador SV of 5 kg . The engine is mated to the same 7-speed ISR automated manual gearbox as used on an Aventador SV along with the all-wheel-drive drivetrain developed by Haldex. The power steering has two turns lock-to-lock. The suspension system is a push-rod design. A total of 40 cars, (half of them coupés and the other half roadsters) were produced, all of which were already sold via invitation to selected customers.

sc18 alston

Introduced in November 2018, the SC18 Alston is a track focused one-off created for a customer under close collaboration with Lamborghini's motorsport division Squadra Corse. Based on the Aventador SVJ, the SC18 Alston incorporates aerodynamic elements taken from the Huracàn GT3 and the Huracàn SuperTrofeo EVO. Main features of the car include a big adjustable carbon-fibre rear wing, front air intakes on the hood taken from the Huracàn GT3, new Veneno-like wheels created especially for the car, a one-off exhaust system along with rear lights from the Centenario, rear fenders, hood scoops and the central fin from the Huracàn SuperTrofeo Evo, and a new front bumper. All these changes give the car 781 PS and 720 nm of torque. The mechanical components and drive train remain the same as the donor car.

svj63

he Aventador SVJ "63 Edition", a special edition commemorating the company's year of foundation (1963), featuring a special white livery with the number 63 more prominent on the car would be first offered for sale and limited to just 63 units, while the whole production run of the Aventador SVJ would be limited to just 963 units in total including the 63 units, with deliveries starting in the beginning of 2019.

sian

The Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 is a one-off and the first hybrid supercar to be built by Lamborghini, honouring the late Ferdinand Karl Piëch (whose initials emboss the name of the car), and his birth year 1937 (the last two digits make up the name of the car as well). Power comes from a reconfigured 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 from the Aventador SVJ and an electric motor powered by supercapacitors at the rear axle, for a total of 819 PS making the Sián the most powerful production Lamborghini automobile ever created at its online launch on 3 September 2019. The exterior design incorporates a wedge shape, a trademark of famed automobile designer Marcello Gandini and mixes that with the design of the Terzo Millennio concept introduced two years prior.  The coupé will be limited to just 63 units and additionally, the roadster variant of the Sián, which has been limited to 19 units, have all been sold out.

essenza scv12

The Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 is a track-day, one-off supercar built by Lamborghini under close collaboration with their motorsport division, Squadra Corse, featuring design and aerodynamics inspired by racing prototypes, developed for exclusive track use.^[When it was unveiled online to the public on July 29, 2020, the Essenza SCV12 became the most powerful purely, naturally-aspirated car, pushing out a maximum power output of 619 kW (830 hp; 842 PS) achieved by a horizontally-mounted 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 from the Aventador SVJ and a ram air induction system, the latter serving as the aspiration. The Essenza SCV12 is 136 kg  lighter than the Aventador SVJ and features an FIA-approved carbon composite crash structure and a carbon-fibre monocoque which is the first to be homologated without the use of metal. The Essenza SVC12 is also the first car to be developed according to the FIA prototype safety rules. The car has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.66 hp per kg and generates a downforce of 1,200 kg  at 249 km/h, more than a typical GT3 racecar.

huracan

2014-2024

The Lamborghini Huracán is a sports car manufactured by Italian automotive manufacturer Lamborghini replacing the previous V10 offering, the Gallardo. The Huracán made its worldwide debut at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show, and was released in the market in the second quarter of 2014. The LP 610-4 designation comes from the car having a 610 metric horsepower and 4 wheel drive, while LP stands for "Longitudinale Posteriore", which refers to the longitudinal mid-rear engine position. The Huracán's name (huracán being the Spanish word for hurricane) is inspired by a Spanish fighting bull. Names from historical Spanish fighting bulls has been the traditional naming scheme of most Lamborghini car models. Huracán was a bull known for its courage that fought in 1879.

The Huracán maintains the 5.2-litre naturally aspirated Audi/Lamborghini V10 engine from the Gallardo, tuned to generate a maximum power output of  610 PS. To ensure its balance and performance, the car is mid-engined. The engine has both direct fuel injection and multi-point fuel injection. It combines the benefits of both of these systems; it is the first time this combination is used in a V10 engine. To increase its efficiency, the Huracán's engine also includes a start-stop system. 

concept cars

urus

The Lamborghini Urus is an SUV manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. It was unveiled on 4 December 2017 and was put on the market for the 2018 model year. The name comes from the urus, the ancestor of modern domestic cattle, also known as the aurochs.

The Lamborghini Urus does not use Lamborghini's hallmark of naturally aspirated V10 (as used in the concept) or V12 engines. Instead, the Urus is powered by a 650 PS  4.0 L twin-turbocharged V8, a modified version of Audi's 4.0 L V8. This engine has application in other VW Group cars, including both the Porsche Cayenne and Panamera, as well as some of the Audi S and RS models, the A8, the Bentley Continental V8 and the Flying Spur V8. The engine has been heavily reworked for the Urus, and is uprated by 100 PS  and 80 N⋅m  of torque more than the Cayenne Turbo, with changes such as new cylinder heads. The engine is assembled at a Volkswagen plant in Hungary and is shipped to Lamborghini's assembly plant. Urus accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 306 km/h.

The Lamborghini Urus is much lighter than most of its competitors (i.e. the BMW X6 M, Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but not the Porsche Cayenne) at less than 2,200 kg as quoted by the manufacturer mainly because of the extensive usage of carbon fibre reinforced polymer, although it is based on the same platform as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.

countach

For the first time in the history of Lamborghini supercars, the storied company from Sant'Agata Bolognese revived a nameplate for a new vehicle. It's not just any nameplate either – the Countach is arguably the exotic car that created the supercar segment. And now, after 30 years, it lives again.

First thing's first. You can't have a Lamborghini Countach without a V12 and this one has it in spades. The familiar 6.5-liter naturally aspirated engine develops 769 horsepower (573 kilowatts) on its own, but it has help in the form of a 34-hp  electric motor powered by Lamborghini's 48-volt supercapacitor tech. With everything combined, the Countach cranks out 803 hp  to all four wheels through a seven-speed gearbox. Lamborghini says it reaches 0-100 km/h per hour in 2.9 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 8.7 seconds, and if you never lift, wind resistance will stop you at 353 km/h. It's easily the quickest, fastest Countach ever.

The Countach borrows the same hybrid powertrain from the Sián FKP 37, though power here is slightly less. That's not the only similarity to the Sián either – the scalloped roof that blends into a retrotastic Countach engine cover matches the Sián, as do the hexagon taillights. The interior is also the Sián layout, though you'll find Countach branding and minor differences that honor the classic supercar. The wheels – 20 inchers in front and 21 inches at the back – adopt the distinct phone dial design that first appeared on the LP400 S and remained a Countach staple until the end.  112 will be made.

revuelto

Lamborghini has always waited a decade or more to replace its range-topper, unlike Ferrari and McLaren. The Italian brand has been in business for 60 years, and so far, there have been only five V12 halo models; Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, and Aventador. The Revuelto is the sixth, and coming from a lineage like that, it has a lot riding on it.

Like its legendary successors, the Revuelto is named after a Spanish fighting bull that had an epic battle in Barcelona in August 1880. The bull had a "rebellious and indomitable heart" and was therefore blessed with the name Revuelto, which can be translated to "unruly."

The Revuelto is the world's first V12 plug-in hybrid. At the core of the powertrain sits an all-new 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, the lightest and most potent 12-cylinder Lamborghini has ever created. It has an all-new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission mated to the rear in a transverse layout and three electric motors to boost performance.

The result is 1,001 horsepower and a raucous V12 that will happily rev to 9,500 rpm, and the V12 alone produces 535 lb-ft of torque before the electric motors contribute as much as 332 lb-ft extra.  It will get from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.

Naturally, the V12 is mid-mounted, with the gearbox behind it. One of the three electric motors sits on top of the gearbox, while the other two are mounted on the front axle, each powering a wheel and providing active torque vectoring. The hybrid system's battery is housed in what used to be the transmission tunnel.

temerario

Lamborghini Temerario (code name 634) is a mid-engine plug-in hybrid sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. It was officially unveiled on August 16, 2024 , replacing the Huracán. This car is will the return of a V8 mid-engined Lamborghini model, the first since the 1981 Lamborghini Jalpa. It is the first turbocharged Lamborghini sports car.

In keeping with the Lamborghini tradition of naming car models after famous fighting bulls, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann stated that "Temerario is the name of a fighting bull that fought in 1875, and Temerario means fierce, courageous.

The flat-plane hot vee V8 engine will produce 730 Nm (4000 - 7000 rpm) and 800 PS  (9000 - 9750 rpm), with a 10.000 rpm redline. The electric motor between the engine and the gearbox has 300 Nm and 150 PS at 3500 rpm. There are two other electric motors on the front axle.  Combined power output is 907 hp.

Lamborghini has stated that the maximum speed of the Temerario is over 340 km/h and reaches 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds.

Squadra Corse is the name of Automobili Lamborghini’s motorsport department. It was created to offer unparalleled support to Automobili Lamborghini’s customers in the field. The cars that compete in the most prestigious GT championships all over the world are designed and produced in-house by Squadra Corse. It also organizes the Lamborghini Super Trofeo: the fastest one-make championship in the world.

super trofeo

Passion, performance and innovation. The Lamborghini Super Trofeo has been the pinnacle of the global one-make championship scene since 2009. The Super Trofeo is exclusively for Huracán Super Trofeo Evo model vehicles, which are racing versions of the road-approved supercars. There are three different series, in three continents: America, Asia and Europe. Every series consists of six rounds, each of which feature free practice sessions, qualifying and two races lasting 50 minutes each. There are four categories of drivers: Pro, Pro-Am, Am and Lamborghini Cup. The season culminates in the World Final, when the Lamborghini world champions are crowned.

gt3

In contrast with the Super Trofeo, GT3 championships are open to a range of constructors. There are more than 20 Automobili Lamborghini customer teams who have chosen to compete in Huracán GT3 EVO race cars. Since the Huracán GT3 launch in 2015, the cars have claimed more than 40 titles on a global scale. What better calling card could there be for Automobili Lamborghini on the GT racing scene?

The name GT3 refers to a category of racing cars that comply with the FIA regulations of the same name.  The first FIA GT3 European Championship took place in 2005 and it was an instant hit with both fans and drivers. From the very first season, the GT3 category has set a benchmark for professionals and gentlemen drivers.

Automobili Lamborghini presents the Essenza SCV12, the track-only hypercar in a limited edition of 40 units, developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse and designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile. Essenza SCV12 customers will become part of an exclusive club that will give them access to special programs to drive their hypercar on all the most prestigious circuits in the world. Essenza SCV12 was developed for track-only use, and the engineering solutions are derived from racing. The V12 engine can deliver 830 CV, also thanks to the contribution of dynamic supercharging at high speeds. The power is handled by a new X-trac sequential 6-speed gearbox, situated transversely at the rear and combined with rear-wheel drive.

While Lamborghini has created some of the world’s most influential cars ever, the Italian carmaker hasn’t dominated the world of Formula 1.  Lamborghini competed in the 1990s with a car called the Lambo 291. Despite a powerful V12 under its hood, this car’s short-lived career definitely didn’t go as planned.

modena- lambo 291 - 1991

In short, no. Lamborghini has never had its own official Formula 1 team. Despite this, the Italian carmaker did make an entry into the sport back in the early 1990s. This was when the carmaker asked engineers Mauro Forghieri and Mario Tolentino to design a new car. The pair designed the car around the carmaker’s L3512 naturally-aspirated V12 engine.

Part of what makes Lamborghini’s first Formula 1 venture quite odd is that the carmaker didn’t want its name on the car. In fact, F1 Technical reports that the carmaker didn’t want to affect its brand image in the public eye. As a result, the team was named Modena. Despite this attempt to draw attention away, the carmaker still chose to name its car Lambo 291.

Like all F1 cars of the time, the Lambo 291 got a carbon-fiber chassis. The result was a weight of around 1124 lb. All of the power from its massive V12 went to the rear wheels exclusively via a six-speed manual transmission.

Despite high hopes, Lamborghini’s first Formula 1 car wasn’t a massive success. The Lambo 291 only managed to compete during the 1991 Formula 1 season. Its first hurdle came in the form of pre-qualifying sessions. In these sessions, the car had to set a good lap time to even make it into one of the 16 races that year. Out of these, the car only raced a total of six times.

On its best day, the Lambo 291 finished in seventh place during the U.S. Grand Prix. Despite this one decent finish at the start of the season, UnracedF1 reports that Lamborghini didn’t want to dump any more money into a failing team. Despite high hopes for an eventual return in 1992, the Modena team never returned to Formula 1.

Apart from those two highlights, the team did not come close to points and usually failed to get through pre-qualifying until the 1991 British Grand Prix after which the team were promoted to the "prequalified" group (together with Jordan and Scuderia Italia/Dallara who had proven too fast for the Lambo 291 most of the time whilst AGS, Footwork and Brabham have forced to pre-qualify after the 1991 British Grand Prix). However, the failures to pre-qualify were now mostly replaced by failures to get through the "regular" qualifying sessions, and only Larini would give the car four more starts (Germany, Hungary, Australia, and in the home grand prix at Monza).
