Lamborghini

Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of Lamborghini, was born in Renazzo, Italy on April 28th, 1916. Despite his family's background in agriculture, he showed a keen interest in engines and cars from a young age.

In 1962, Ferruccio Lamborghini initiated a project to create super cars that could rival Ferrari, showcasing his ambition and determination.

Lamborghini, founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, is known for its exotic and high-performance sports cars. It has a rich history in the automotive industry.

By May 1963, Ferruccio Lamborghini had established the Lamborghini company, laying the foundation for the production of high-performance vehicles.

The inaugural Lamborghini model, developed under Ferruccio Lamborghini's vision, was officially unveiled at the Turin Auto Show in November 1963, marking a significant milestone for the brand.

Between October 1965 and June 1966, Lamborghini introduced several new models including the 3500 GTZ, 350 Spyder, and Monza 400. These models, although prototypes, showcased extravagant chassis designs at the 1965 Turin Auto Show.

In 1967, Lamborghini presented an extraordinary lineup of vehicles at the Italian Auto Show, including the 400 GT 2 2 coupe and the Miura. These models were highly praised for their top-notch equipment and expert engineering, leading to a surge in orders for the Miura and boosting the company's cash flow.

In 1968, the Miura Roadster was created by Marcello Gandini and Bertone for the Geneva Show. It featured unique modifications such as larger air intakes, lower roll-over hoop, different taillights, and a larger spoiler.

In 1969, Lamborghini debuted the Espada at the Geneva Motor Show. Designed by Marcello Gandini, the four-seater car featured a front-mounted V12 engine and became a success with over 1,200 units produced over a decade.

The Lamborghini Countach is a legendary supercar known for its futuristic design and impressive performance, setting new standards in the automotive industry.

In 1976, Lamborghini faced commercial and production difficulties, leading the head of the company to seek outside collaboration. The significant cooperative effort with BMW Motorsport, headed by Jochen Neerpasch, allowed them to design and produce super sports cars with rear-mounted engines.

In 1980, Lamborghini faced financial difficulties and eventually slipped towards bankruptcy and liquidation, leading to a critical situation for the company.

After the company was put up for liquidation, the Mimran brothers, wealthy owners of a sugar empire in Senegal and sports car enthusiasts, were entrusted with the ownership of Lamborghini. This marked a new chapter for the company.

In 1986, Lamborghini introduced the LM002, the first off-road vehicle from the brand. It was powered by a four-valve DOHC V12 engine with 450 hp and featured unique characteristics like 6 Weber carburetors, a five-speed manual transmission, and independent suspension.

On April 23, 1987, the US Chrysler company took over 'Nuova Automobili Lamborghini SpA', initiating a period of intense activity for the company.

The 25th Anniversary Countach was the last and most aggressive version of the Countach series. It featured redesigned aero ducts, front and rear kevlar hoods, and an extensively upgraded chassis.

In 1996, Automobili Lamborghini SpA reached out to SAT in France to create a race version of the Diablo for GT championships, similar to the Porsche GT1. The car had to be based on a production model but with a focus on racing.

In 1997, the Lamborghini Canto prototype was spotted undergoing high-speed tests at the Nardo circuit in Italy. The car faced cooling issues with its 6 Liter V-12 engine, but despite this, it showcased phenomenal speed with a rumored top speed of around 350 Km/h. Initially powered by a 510 Bhp engine borrowed from the Diablo SV type, it was later upgraded to a 6.0 Liter evolution of the Diablo SV-R block with approximately 600 horsepower.

Audi and Lamborghini signed their first contract on 12th June 1998, marking the beginning of their collaboration. This eventually led to the complete transfer of all shares between the two companies on 27th July in the same year.

On 27th July 1998, Audi and Lamborghini finalized the complete transfer of all shares, solidifying their partnership and ownership structure.

In February 1999, the Lamborghini Design facility introduced a slightly modified Canto proposal with a completely redesigned rear part, which was more integrated into the overall design of the car.

In the year 2000, Lamborghini produced a limited run of 30 Diablo VT Roadster cars for the model year. This special edition was named the 'Millennium Roadster' and was available in only two colors, Titanium Metallic and Yellow.

In 2001, Lamborghini introduced the Murciélago, the first new Lamborghini in more than a decade. The flagship car was named after the bull that inspired Ferruccio Lamborghini and represented the rebirth of the company.

In 2002, a new Diablo GT2 model based on the 6.0 model was showcased at the official museum located at the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata.

The Gallardo was launched in February 2003, stimulating the demand needed for Lamborghini to become profitable. It was a four-wheel-drive two-seater with a 500 hp power plant, accessible to a wider range of enthusiasts compared to the Murciélago.

A supercar in State Police colors, equipped with a siren and flashing lights on the roof, was donated by the House of Sant'Agata Bolognese to the State Police to commemorate its 152nd anniversary. The donation took place during the anniversary celebrations at Piazza del Popolo in Rome.

The first drivable prototype of the Lamborghini Concept A was unveiled at the Monterey Concorso Italiano and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the USA in 2005. Subsequently, due to positive reception at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini decided to proceed with building a drivable prototype to stimulate customer interest.

In 2006, the Murciélago LP640 was introduced as the next step in the evolution of the Murciélago model. It featured minor cosmetic changes such as a larger front spoiler and new rear mirrors, along with radical modifications to the engine.

The Reventon, considered the most extreme Lamborghini model, was unveiled with a production limited to only 20 units. Featuring a unique design with sharp angles reminiscent of the Murcielago, it received mixed reactions for its bold styling.

On November 5, 2010, Lamborghini announced the end of production for its Murcielago supercar model, marking a significant milestone in the company's history.

On March 1, 2011, the Lamborghini Aventador debuted at the Geneva Motor Show as the replacement for the Murciélago, featuring a new V12 engine and angular design language.

In May 2014, Zagato and Lamborghini collaborated to create the unique 5-95 custom built car, based on the Gallardo LP570-4. This special car combined functionalism and rationalism to produce a one-of-a-kind design.

The Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce was released in 2015 with increased power, lower weight, improved aerodynamics, and innovative technologies. It is considered one of the best supercars ever produced by Lamborghini.

The Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4, unveiled in 2016, is a special edition model created to honor the 100th anniversary of Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini's birth. Only 20 coupes were produced, making it one of the most exclusive and sought-after cars in the world.
