Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. (Italian: [lamborˈɡiːni] ( listen)) is an Italian brand and manufacturer of luxury sports cars and, formerly, SUVs, which is owned by theVolkswagen Group through its subsidiary brand division Audi. Lamborghini's production facility and headquarters are located in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. In 2011, Lamborghini's 831 employees produced 1,711 vehicles.
Ferruccio Lamborghini, an Italian manufacturing magnate, founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 to compete with established marques, includingFerrari. The company gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coupé, which established rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era. 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 theVolkswagen Group where it was placed under the control of the group's Audi division.
New products and model lines were introduced to the brand's portfolio and brought to the market and saw an increased productivity for the brand Lamborghini. In the late 2000s, during the worldwide financial crisis and the subsequent economic crisis, Lamborghini's sales saw a drop of nearly 50 percent.
Lamborghini produces sports cars and V12 engines for offshore powerboat racing. Lamborghini currently produces the V12-powered Aventador and the V10-powered Huracán.

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, named for a legendary fighting bull, is an Italian high-performance exotic supercar. Its characteristic scissor doors open upwards in signature Lamborghini style. Electronically-controlled air scoops, located behind the doors, open depending on engine temperature and need for cooling air. For 2010, Lamborghini has expanded its model range with a new, exceptionally purist and even more extreme top model - the Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murcielago LP 640. The Murcielago LP640 is available as a two-passenger coupe or roadster, while the LP670-4 SuperVeloce is available as a coupe. The LP640 features a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces up to 632 horsepower (Lamborghini states 640 PS or Pferdest?rke (German for "horse strength), a unit of power measurement commonly used in Europe, South America and Japan). A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and an available E-gear auto-shifting manual transmission with steering column-mounted paddles allows for split-second gear shifts. The LP670-4 SuperVeloce's horsepower is bumped up to 661, and the E-gear auto-shifting manual is standard, with the six-speed manual as a no-charge option. A permanent all-wheel-drive system with electronic traction control and an electronically-controlled adaptive suspension are standard equipment. Optional (standard on the LP670-4 SuperVeloce) light-weight carbon ceramic brakes offer superior durability and reduce brake fade, where the brakes become less effective due to overheating in extremely demanding conditions such as racing. An available (standard on the LP670-4 SuperVeloce) clear glass engine cover allows the owner to display the engine. The interior can be customized with exclusive materials such as Alcantara and carbon fiber trim (standard on the LP670-4 SuperVeloce). The LP670-4 SuperVeloce features extensively redesigned front and rear fascia, exclusive alloy-forged wheels, lightweight carbon fibre and Alcantara sport seats and a choice of rear wing spoilers. The 2010 Murcielago LP640 is carried over from 2009, while LP640-4 SuperVeloce is an all-new version.

The Lamborghini Murciélago is a sports car produced by Italian automotive manufacturer Lamborghini between 2001 and 2010. Successor to the Diablo and flagship of the automaker's lineup, the Murciélago was introduced as a coupé in 2001. The car was first available in North America for the 2002 model year. 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 2004, 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 styling of the Murciélago could be seen as an evolution of the last Diablo model, but it is clearly visible this new car featured a very clean design with a highly professional look, also the Murciélago still uses the wedge shape body style with the cockpit completely integrated into the overall body. The design featured very angular lines, especially at the front, combined with magnificent curves and covered with various air intakes and outlets to cool the massive brakes and fabulous V12 engine. Lamborghini even revived the stunning ‘Miura green’ color on this new model. Note that there is no signature of the designer found on the car, not like on the early Diablo, were Marcello Gandini’s signature was mounted on the side.
At first the Murciélago would use the 6.0 liter engine used in the Diablo 6.0 VT, but Lamborghini’s Engineering Director, Massimo Ceccarani didn’t think the possible customers would like the fact that the latest Lamborghini used an engine with the same displacement as the ‘older’ model. Therefore they decided to create a 6.2 liter unit. Torque output was very important in the development of this new engine, a very flat curve and a value of 650 Nm at 5400 rpm with a power output of nearly 600 Bhp was the result.
Enough cool air was needed to flow through the engine compartment, but the amount of air needed varied depending on the outside conditions and the cars actual speed, so installing intakes that would supply enough air, even at the most extreme conditions would be overkill, several options were tried and Luc finally decided on a system that was used in the Countach Restyling prototype, adjustable intakes, these were designed to be neatly integrated into the overall Murciélago design. When conditions require it, these air intakes actually open up about 20 degrees to allow more air into the engine compartment, the intake surface is thus increased by no less than 80 percent.
This new Lamborghini drove like no other model ever before, featuring a variable suspension with double wishbones both at the front and the rear, using automatic or manual adjustment, while the nose could be raised by 45mm when driving over speed bumps and an adjustable rear wing would raise itself when speeds rose. For the first time in Lamborghini history, a six speed gearbox was installed. The bodywork is made from Carbon Fiber, only the roof and both doors are made of steel to improve rigidity.
One of the vehicle's most distinguishing features is its scissor doors which lend to the extreme image. The first generation of the Murciélago which is represented right here, was produced between 2001 and 2006.

Automobili Lamborghini SpA introduced their SE30 Diablo model as a limited edition, only 150 would be made, each one numbered and bearing a special plaque stating which serial number the car had ... but during the fabrication of this already very limited production run you could request an even more exclusive edition ... a Diablo SE30 with Jota upgrade.

Following the foot-steps of Porsche in 1996 with the GT1, a purpose built racing car that created a stir in motorsports, Lamborghini contracted Signes Advanced Technologies (SAT), a company based in Toulon, France specialising in manufacturing prototype race cars, to develop a racing version of the Diablo to enter in the GT1 class racing.
The company would build an entirely new chassis made of tubular steel and a carbon fibre body bearing resemblance to the road going Diablo with Lamborghini supplying the engine and getting the project through homologation. The 5.7 L V12 engine used in the standard Diablo variants was stroked to a displacement of 6.0 L utilising a reprogrammed engine management system. The new engine had a maximum power output of 664 PS (488 kW; 655 hp) at 7550 rpm and 687 Nm (507 lbft) of torque at 5500 rpm and transferred the power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed Hewland sequential manual transmission. The finished car weighed a total of 1050 kg (2315 lb) making it the lightest Diablo variant ever produced.
The body work featured heavy modifications and little was shared with the road car. A very deep chin spoiler and fixed front lamps along with an adjustable rear wing was one of the main changes. The front and rear section of the car were entirely removable to allow easy access to the mechanicals of the car, the wheelbase and length of the car was increased for enhanced performance. Larger air intakes on the rear, NACA ducts near the doors and air intakes from the Diablo SV improved engine cooling.
The car utilised scissor doors and tail lights from a regular Diablo further increasing its resemblance with the road going model. Other features included purpose built race interior, plexiglass windows, 18-inch centre-lock OZ racing wheels and an integrated roll-cage. The car was presented in 1997 to the factory in the presence of FIA representatives who approved and homologated the car for racing. But financial difficulties surrounding Lamborghini at that time forced the company to not go further with the project. Only 2 cars were built, one was meant for racing and one was the road legal version which dropped the rear wing. The racing version was bought by the JLOC racing team from Japan who used it in the JGTC series racing until the series was abandoned and the road version remained in the ownership of SAT until it was sold to Mistral Motors in Italy.

With so many variants built over the course of more than a decade of production, it's hard to pinpoint which version is truly the ultimate Lamborghini Diablo. But when it comes to track machinery, it's certainly the GTR.
Built for the precursor of today's Huracan-centered Super Trofeo, the Diablo GTR replaced the previous SV-R and built upon the road-going Diablo GT. It was faster, more powerful, more hardcore, and rarer than any other version. What you see here represents the rare opportunity to make one yours.
The GTR was equipped with a 6.0-liter V12 engine producing a massive 590 horsepower, which may pale in comparison to what today's Raging Bulls kick out, but was the most power Sant'Agata had ever put in one of its supercars up to that point. It also featured an old-school five-speed manual transmission (no flappy paddles here), and was stripped out and fitted with competition-spec components, including carbon-fiber bodywork, plexiglass windows, and a huge rear wing bolted directly to the frame.

The Diablo VT was introduced in 1993. Although the VT differed from the standard Diablo in a number of ways, by far the most notable change was the addition of all wheel drive, which made use of a viscous center differential (a modified version of LM002's 4WD system). This provided the new nomenclature for the car (VT stands for viscous traction). The new drivetrain could direct up to 25% of the torque to the front wheels to aid traction during rear wheel slip, thus significantly improving the handling characteristics of the car.
Other improvements debuting on the VT included front air intakes below the driving lamps to improve brake cooling, larger intakes in the rear arches, a more ergonomic interior with a revised electronically adjustable dampers, four-piston brake calipers, power steering, and minor engine refinements. Many of these improvements, save the four-wheel drive system, soon transferred to the base Diablo, making the cars visually nearly identical.

Some said the SV was the ultimate Diablo, but with the engine modified to reach 510 horsepower driving the rear wheels only, thing could get scary when using the throttle unwisely on damp roads.
The SV, this model became the entry-level for the Lamborghini Diablo, if one could call it an entry, it was however the cheapest of the series, but still cost a bundle, not only buying, but the maintenance alone could bankrupt one easily. Each main service for a Diablo cost a small car and don’t even have to think about spinning the rear wheels, with 335 width and 18 inch tall, prices were high. But if you really loved this car like we do, who cares it cost the price of a decent house, every service stop setting you back a bundle, and to impress people you once in a while dropped the accelerator and burned some rubber.
The SV was still a driving car, not like some other Italian exotics. The seating position was unaltered, but the small dashboard like on the VT was mounted, although the passenger airbag did not come until 1998. At first, the front wheels were only 17 inch, but with larger disk brakes mounted these too became 18 inch versions of the new three-piece, five spoke rims. At the launch, these wheels received a black painted crest, but you could order them to be any color possible, and even chromed, which was very well accepted in the United States.
The black rear spoiler was mounted standard and incorporated an adjustable centerpiece, a function only real enthusiasts would ever use, it became however optionally available to have this spoiler color-coded with the rest of the car or even finished in Carbon Fiber. Between the rear lights, a new black panel was mounted while the lights themselves were also mounted in black surroundings instead of the red ones on the ‘normal’ Diablo. The rear fog light and the reverse light were lowered into the rear bumper and four oval type exhaust pipes were mounted, the engine cover now incorporated two massive air intakes, which looked like the ones used on the Diablo SE30 Jota cars. They pulled air into the V-12 compartment to keep everything cool in there, the front bumper was also redesigned and two new fog lamps were built into it together with new bigger air-intakes.
On the inside the standard leather found on the other Diablo became an option instead of the high quality Alcantara was used on the seats and the door panels, the dashboard now used color coded gauges, a rather nice touch to get a more sporty feel inside the car on most cars the ‘SV’ logo was embroidered on the head rest of the seats, during the 1998 production year a driver’s airbag became standard.
