Lamborghini Italian supercars and SUVs
Lamborghini represents the most extreme expression of Italian supercar culture. Founded out of rivalry with Ferrari, Lamborghini builds audacious, angular supercars and the world's first super SUV that turn heads and stir emotions like nothing else on the road.
Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer, founded the company in 1963 after a dispute with Enzo Ferrari over clutch quality. The Miura (1966) is widely considered the first supercar. The Countach (1974) defined the wedge-shaped supercar look for a generation. After financial difficulties, the company passed through several owners before Audi/VW Group acquired it in 1998, bringing stability and engineering resources while preserving the wild Italian character.
Lamborghini vehicles are designed to shock and awe. Angular, aggressive styling makes every model unmistakable. V10 and V12 engines (now hybridized) deliver brutal power with an unforgettable soundtrack. All-wheel-drive capability makes the performance accessible. The Urus proved that the Lamborghini DNA could work in an SUV format, becoming the brand's best-seller.
The Miura invented the supercar. The Countach became the bedroom poster car of an entire generation. The Diablo was the first Lamborghini to exceed 200 mph. The Murcielago refined the brand's V12 formula. The Aventador SVJ set a Nurburgring lap record. The Urus created the super-SUV segment.
Ferruccio Lamborghini was a Taurus, which is why the bull is the company's emblem. Every Lamborghini model is named after a famous fighting bull or bullfighting term. The Countach got its name from a Piedmontese exclamation of astonishment. Lamborghini still makes tractors today through a separate company.
