New & Used Lamborghini Cars, Parts & Reviews

Lamborghini is an Italian sports car maker that was founded by a tractor factory owner in 1963. Now a subsidiary of Volkswagon, Lamborghini continues to produce exotic, impressive and expensive car designs that symbolize elegance, speed, wealth and power. The company’s founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini was a sports car enthusiast after World War II and loved driving his Ferrari, but had some problems with the car’s design. He approached Enzo Ferrari, who was offended by the idea of a maker of tractors trying to tell him how to make his vehicles. Lamborghini then went on and made the recommended improvements and founded his own company in direct competition with Ferrari, and the two businesses have been competing ever since.

Lamborghini first gained worldwide fame with its Countach model in 1974. The scissor doors of the vehicle spoke to sports car enthusiasts around the world and soon that design quickly began to appear on other sports cars. The Countach was followed by the Diablo, which was the only car produced by Lamborghini throughout most of the difficult 90s. The Murcielago is currently Lamborghini’s flagship model, with an MSRP of $354,000-$450,000.
