Lamborghini

Ferruccio Lamborghini founded Automobili Lamborghini in 1963. Created with the intention of creating a world class grand tourer, Lamborghini has established itself as one of the world&#39;s premier automotive manufacturers. Throughout its history, the company has produced some of the motoring worlds most recognizable and loved autmobiles. These well known cars include the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/miura/">Miura</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/countach/">Countach</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/diablo/">Diablo</a>, and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/murcielago/">Murci&eacute;lago</a>.

Silhouette

First produced in 1976, the Silhouette was Lamborghini&#39;s first targa roofed car. Based on the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/urraco/">Lamborghini Urraco</a>, the Silhouette featured the same transversal, rear mid-mounted 3.0L V8 as its P300 predecessor. Beginning its life as a design exercise by Bertone, the Silhouette eventually found its way into production, although in very limited numbers. Only 54 total Silhouettes were ever produced, with two of those being prototypes.

Lamborghini Tractors

In modern times, when the name Lamborghini is mentioned, thoughts of dramatic and powerful supercars are conjured. Yet, before the famed Italian brand became synonymous with supercars, Lamborghini was known for it&#39;s tractors. From small beginnings in 1948, Lamborghini Trattori (Lamborghini Tractors) became a successful and well regarded tractor maker, with models such as the 1R, 2R, and DL. These tractors were available in rear wheel drive and all wheel drive, as well as various configurations depending on the required use. Due to the success of Lamborghini Tractors, the owner of Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini was able to buy a wide range of high end sports cars, including a few Ferraris. Upset with his perceived lack of quality with Ferrari&#39;s clutch, Lamborghini took apart his Ferrari&#39;s transmission only to find the clutch was the same he was using in his tractors. This led to a famous argument between Enzo Ferrari and Ferruccio Lamborghini in which Ferrari told Lamborghini he knew nothing of high performance cars, only for Lamborghini to become irate, and to promise that he could build a better car than Ferrari. The rest, as they say, is history. Importantly, even after changing the worldwide supercar landscape, Lamborghini continues tractor production to this day.

Lamborghini 350 GT

As the first Lamborghini car sold to the public, the 350 GT has the distinct history of being the launching point for the revered marque. Featuring a 3.5 L V12 engine, the 350 GT began the tradition of V12 engined Lamborghinis which continues to this day. Noted for its refinement, performance, and drive-ability, the success of the 350 GT enabled Lamborghini to place itself as a viable competitor to already established makes. While all original 350 GTs featured the 3.5L V12, it is common to find upgraded models that feature the later 4.0L V12, making original-engined 350 GTs a rare find in the market. When production ended in 1967, a total of 120 examples had been built.

Lamborghini 400 GT

An evolution of the previous <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/350-gt/">350 GT</a>, Lamborghini&#39;s 400 GT arrived on the market in 1966. This car featured a larger (4L) V12 engine as well as design adjustments and cosmetic changes to the interior. During the transition from the 350 GT to the 400 GT, a limited run of twenty-three 400 GTs was made featuring a 350 GT body, but with the updated 4L V12. These so called &quot;interim&quot; cars are a rare find on the market. After the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/400-gt/interim/">400 GT &quot;Interim&quot;</a>, the updated <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/400-gt/22/">400 GT 2+2</a> body entered production, with the most noticeable change being the addition of two rear seats, giving these cars their &quot;2+2&quot; moniker. As well as rear seats and cosmetic tweaks, the &quot;2+2&quot; model featured a new gearbox that greatly improved driveability.

Lamborghini Miura

Upon its arrival in 1966, the Lamborghini Miura signaled a seismic shift in the automotive world. As the first production&nbsp;performance car to feature a rear mid-mounted transverse engine, the Miura is widely credited as being the first supercar. The 4.0L V12 engine was not only mounted laterally, but it was merged with the transmission and differential in order to squeeze into the tight engine compartment. Styled by Italian design house Bertone, the Miura was a showstopper in terms of design and performance. When it was launched, it was the fastest production car in the world. During its manufacturing run, the Miura was released in three distinct guises: The <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/miura/p400/">P400</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/miura/p400s/">P400 S</a>, and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/miura/p400sv/">P400 SV</a>. Each of these guises feature differences in performance as well as subtle changes in the styling. A variant of the SV, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/miura/p400svj/">SV/J</a>, was a race-minded car created by Lamborghini&#39;s chief development driver Bob Wallace. While the original SV/J was destroyed in a crash, seven SVs (numbers vary depending on source and standard) were converted to SV/J specification by the factory. While some conversions have been done privately, these are not considered to be official SV/Js. With only 764 examples made, not only does the Miura have the pedigree, but it has the rarity to be one of the most desirable collector cars.

Lamborghini Espada

The Lamborghini Espada was a grand touring coupe made between 1968 and 1978. Designed by Marcello Gandini, the Espada was Lamborghini&#39;s most successful model at the time. A total of 1,217 were manufactured throughout its production run. The Espada&#39;s lifespan was marked by three distinct series (<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/espada/series-i/">Series I</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/espada/series-ii/">Series II</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/espada/series-iii/">Series III</a>), each with their own respective interior design, but all largely maintaining the original Gandini exterior design.

Lamborghini Islero

The follow up model to the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/400-gt/">400 GT</a>, the Lamborghini Islero debuted in 1968. Designed by Carrozzeria Marazzi, the Islero was largely a rebody of the 400 GT, with a few small modifications. While mechanically very similar to its V12 engined predecessor, the Islero added a great deal of comfort to its interior, creating a more refined driving experience. With only 125 examples having been built, an Islero in top condition is a rare find.

Lamborghini Islero S

Released in 1969, the Lamborghini Islero S is an updated and more powerful version of the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/islero/">Islero</a>. Numerous cosmetic changes appeared in the S model such as: flared and widened fenders with chrome slats, a larger hood scoop, new marker lights, and a fixed section on the door windows. Along with an updated interior, the S also came with various mechanical upgrades, chief among which are larger brake discs and a revised rear suspension. Only a total of 100 Islero S models were made by Lamborghini, making them a truly special car to come across.

Lamborghini Urraco

The Lamborghini Urraco was unveiled to the public at the 1970 Turin Motor Show. Designed as an accessible Lamborghini, the Urraco finally hit the streets in 1972. Debuting a new 2.5 Liter engine, the Urraco was the first Lamborghini fitted with a V8. The mid-mounted aluminum-alloy engine was part of the approach used by Lamborghini to allow for the entry level exotic Urraco. Four distinct variations were built by Lamborghini: <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/urraco/p111/">P111</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/urraco/p200/">P200</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/urraco/p250/">P250</a>, and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/urraco/p300/">P300</a>. Each features distinct engine specifications as well as slight exterior and interior tweaks. The Urraco saw production until 1979, with 791 cars built.

Lamborghini Countach

The Lamborghini Countach was first unveiled to the world at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. After three prototypes and a great deal of development work, the first iteration of the Countach, the LP400, hit the streets in 1974. The Countach featured angular, wedge-shaped styling, accented by use of trapezoidal shapes throughout the design. While the Countach evolved greatly in terms of design over the course of its production, the original Marcello Gandini styling remained evident. The unique scissor doors, a first for a production car, featured throughout all variants. While later designs focused on the addition of spoilers and aerodynamically inspired additions, the initial design featured clean, unfettered lines, making early Countachs very distinguishable from later models. Produced from 1974 until early 1991, the Countach went through five major evolutions: The <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/countach/lp400/">LP400 (1974-1978)</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/countach/lp400-s/">LP400 S (1978-1982)</a>, the LP500 S also known as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/countach/lp500-s/">LP5000 S (1982-1985)</a>, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/countach/lp5000-quattrovalvole/">LP5000 QV (1985-1988)</a>, and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/countach/25th-anniversary-edition/">25th Anniversary Edition (1988-1991)</a>. Originally powered by Larmborghini&#39;s 4L V12, during the course of production, the engine saw various developments that saw it increase in size and power, with the LP500 S using a 4.8L V12, and the LP5000 QV and 25th Anniversary Edition using a 5.2L V12. With nearly two thousand cars produced, the Countach not only cemented Lamborghini&#39;s place in Italian automotive royalty, but its unique and futuristic design laid the foundations for all Lamborghinis to come.

Lamborghini Jalpa

The Lamborghini Jalpa was another attempt by the Italian firm to establish an entry level exotic. Launched in 1981, the Jalpa was much more successful than the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/silhouette/">Lamborghini Silhouette</a> it was based on, but sales were far lower than hoped, with an estimated 415 having been built (final production numbers vary depending on source). Powered by an enlarged version of the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/urraco/p300/">Urraco P300</a>&nbsp;3.0L V8 engine, the more powerful 3.5L produced 255hp. In terms of design, the targa topped Jalpa was an evolution of the Silhouette, sharing many of the styling cues from the Bertone designed car. After ending production in 1988, the Jalpa was replaced years later with the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/gallardo/">Lamborghini Gallardo</a>.&nbsp;

Lamborghini LM002

The Lamborghini LM002 is an oddity in the automotive world. The result of a failed military automotive program, the LM002 was powered by Lamborghini&#39;s 5.2L V12 engine, the same engine featured in the late production <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/lamborghini/countach/">Countach</a>. Nicknamed the Rambo-Lambo, the LM002 married off road capabilities, luxury appointments, as well as high end performance and refinement. This combination is commonly seen these days, but it was unheard of in 1986. The LM002 sold in low numbers, with only 328 having been built. Of these, only 48 were built as LM/American, or LM002-A, a small series of the performance SUV designated especially for the US market.
