LAMBORGHINI SESTO ELEMENTO


Exterior

The main component of the new Sesto Elemento is carbon fiber and more specifically carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Lamborghini has been able to successfully develop a process that takes the material from 3D design through simulation, validation, testing, and finally into production. Its collaboration with the Boeing company is perhaps one of the most important to the development of this vehicle. The two companies have been able to develop the CFRP design much further than ever before thanks to their ACRC (Advanced Composite Research Center). Two of the most unique parts designed for the exterior are the wheels made entirely out of carbon fiber and the exhaust system which is made out of a material called Pyrosic. This is a glass ceramic composite that can withstand high heat.

LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR LP700-4


It’s called the Aventador LP700-4, and it’s Lamborghini’s newest V-12–powered suckerfish. From its scything mandibles to its gawping monopipe, the 691-hp V-12 replacement for the Murciélago is all-new, we’re told. That flushing sound you hear is Swiss bank accounts being emptied in anticipation of its August 2011 arrival at a price of $379,700.


The styling for Lamborghini’s latest Concerto for Creases and Trapezoids borrows much from the 20 Reventón coupes that preceded it. The full-figured lines of the old Murciélago have been pulled out and toned up, as if the big goombata has discovered Pilates. Naturally, the scissor doors endure, while a buyer can choose from three au courant matte-finish colors (black, white, and brown), along with the usual assortment of metallic and pearlescent paints.

LAMBORGHINI REVENTON


The Lamborghini Reventón was entirely designed in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the original birthplace of the Lamborghini. The design drawn up in the Lamborghini’s Centro Stile (Style Center) with the collaboration with the Lamborghini Research and Development Department.


Lamborghini chosen the name Reventón based on one of the most famous fighting bull, owned by the Don Rodriguez family. Reventón is also known for killing the famed bullfighter, Felix Guzman in 1943.

LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO LP640


STYLISH LINES, POWER TO SPARE


Elongated scissor doors open wide to reveal a passenger cabin certain to make women swoon and grown men giddy with anticipation. In our test vehicle, a stylized black leather dash and center console housed the necessary equipment to unleash the massive power within. Carbon fiber wrapped the HVAC and navigation panel as well as switches for traction control, power windows, mirrors and the fuel filler release. 


Ensuring optimum driver and passenger comfort is the work of sculpted, one-piece sport seats. Complimenting the rest of the interior, our supercar featured black leather trim with red center inserts. Tight side bolsters restrict movement, but given the performance potential of the Murciélago and their excellent design, the amount of support provided was superb.

LAMBHORGHINI COUNTACH


To understand the Lamborghini Countach, look no further than the origin of its name. In the Piedmontese dialect, the word countach is an exclamation directed at a gorgeous woman to show appreciation of her beauty. While this expression may not fit the gold-chain, overly extroverted, and hypermacho later Countachs, a review of the car's history illustrates its true beauty.
Lamborghini showed the Countach prototype--the LP500--at the 1971 Geneva auto show. Designed by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, the wedge-shaped, scissor-door concept was so stunning that most attendees failed to notice Lamborghini's own updated Miura SV. The Countach went into production in 1974 as the LP400. These early cars use a 3.9-liter V-12 with 375 hp and only weigh about 3000 pounds. Although the LP400 is very fast, it lacks the grip of later editions--and its narrow Michelin XWX tires don't help. The LP400 is also the most valuable Countach today because of its limited build numbers, its simple yet gorgeous design, and its unique periscope-style roof.
The second-generation car--the LP400S--arrived in 1978. To improve roadholding, Lamborghini fitted larger wheels and Pirelli's newest tire, the P7. To accommodate the gigantic, 345-section-width rear tires, Lamborghini tacked on fender flares and revised the suspension and the brakes. It also introduced the notorious rear wing that added only minimal downforce and hurt top speed.

LAMBORGHINI DIABLO SV



Replacing the Lamborghini Countach, the 2-door Lamborghini Diablo SV coupe was introduced in 1990. With a total of 2,903 units produced during its lifetime, the Diablo in the name stands for ‘devil' in Spanish and truly classifies the high-performance supercar built by Lamborghini of Italy.


Unveiled on January 21, 1991 the Diablo was introduced at a base price of $240,000. The Lamborghini Diablo sported a 5,7 liter 48-valve variation of the legendary Lamborghini V12 that featured dual overhead cam and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection that produced 492 horsepower and 427 foot-lbs of torque. The Diablo could achieve 0-60 mph in little over 4 seconds and the capability of 202 mph as a top speed. Just like the Countach, the Diablo was rear-wheel drive with a mid-mounted engine.

LAMBORGHINI DIABLO


The Lamborghini Diablo ("Devil" in English) was a high-performance supercar built by Lamborghini of Italy between 1990 and 2001.


Diablo, 1990-1998


Lamborghini began developing the Diablo in 1989 as a replacement for the Countach model, introducing it for sale on January 21, 1991 at a base price of USD $240,000. Power came from a 5.7 litre, 48 valve version of the legendary Lamborghini V12 featuring dual overhead cams and computer-controlled multi-point fuel injection, producing 492 horsepower (367 kW) and 427 foot-pounds (579 N·m) of torque. The vehicle could reach 60 mph in slightly over 4 seconds, with a top speed of 202 miles per hour (325 km/h). As in the Countach, the Diablo was rear wheel drive and the engine was mid-mounted to aid its weight balance.


Even at over $200,000, the vehicle was somewhat spartan, featuring only basic radio functions (with optional CD playback) along with manual windows, adjustable but unpowered seats and no antilock brakes, mostly to minimize the vehicle's already high curb weight. A few options were available, including having the driver's seat molded specifically for the buyer, a rear wing spoiler, a factory fitted luggage set (priced at $2,600) and an exclusive Breguet clock for the dash (priced at $10,500).
