LAMBORGHINIS!!!!!

Lamborghini is my favorite car maker. I could talk for days about the designs of these cars and why they are so beautiful.

I do not have statistics for these cars, I tend to look at style more. Gandani, who used to work for Bertone did much of their styling but I do believe they have moved on to other designers. I think he has done an excellent job. He designed the Muira and the Countache, two of their most outstanding cars. Gandini knows how to turn some heads.

I not only like Lamborghini's willing to make some really different sport car designs, but I also like their willingness to try out some four person vehicles and even an all terrain vehicle. Ferruccio Lamborghini's first car, the 350GT, was a try to make a sports car that fit more than two people. In fact, the prototype was a three seater, but the final product ended up being a two seater only. In 1968, Lamborghini produced the Espada, a four seater car with a lot of spunk. In 1986, Lamborghini started producing the LM, a four wheel drive that was meant to sell to Middle East countries. Supposedly bought for the troops, but really it was the countries' leaders who were the ones who got to use the vehicles. An interesting side note was that the U.S. was looking into these vehicles but decided the hummer was cheaper and sturdier (Lamborghini is not known for its dependable cars).

Click on the car pictures (except for the LM002 which is at its biggest already) to get bigger and better colored images.

Diablo SE

This is one of my favorite Lamborghinis (but to tell the truth, I really can't pick a favorite cause I like them all so much). I have heard speeds for the SE version of beteween 202 and 220. I love the design, but I do hate the fact that it obviously uses the Countach as a basis for the car design. Though the beauty of the car makes up for it.

Sorry, I do not have a picture for this car.

Diablo Roadster

Personally, I would rather have the Diablo SE, but for those who want a Diablo yet want the wind rushing through thier hair, this is the Diablo for them. This car did not get as famous as some other Diablo models but it is an interesting idea.

Cala (a concept car)

I love this car. Supposedly, there is going to be a V8 produced based on this car but I do not know how similar looking it would be. I would gladly pay extra money just to get my own Cala (well, if I had the money).

Miura

First time I saw this car, I fell in love instantly. I think it looks best in blue though. This car is a classic. I love how it looks, to me it it looks like a graceful muscle car (but of course it handles much better than any muscle car). This car was ahead of its time. In fact, when Ferrari saw how much praise the mid engine design was getting, they decided to make a mid engine car of their own!

LM002

Lamborghini's four all terrain vehicle. It can do ridiculous speeds on sand, and I think it looks better and more aggressive than the Hummer. The Hummer is a little better offroad, but the LM accelerates better, goes faster, and will go up a steeper incline. It will go from 0-60 in 7.8 seconds.

The Countach

The car that shocked everybody with its extremely different styling. This wasn't a first for Lamborghini. The Muira was different in the mid engine design, and set the standard for Italian super cars today (pretty good for a new company). I wouldn't mind one of these cars either.

If you want to learn more about Lamborghinis:

The (now) Unofficial Lamborghini Page The finished page. I haven't wondered around it yet, but as of now, it is now not the only connectable page I know of (at one time it was the only page I could get to that had a lot of info about Lamborghinis).

Another Lamborghini page. Finally, another really good Lamborghini page. Has a link to the Lamborghini mailing list.
