The Beauty & Power of Lamborghini

Lamborghini Aventador

When the Aventador was introduced in early 2011, it replaced the Murciélago as the company’s flagship car. Like all Lamborghinis, its name comes from Spanish bullfighting and honors a famous bull that fought valiantly in Northern Spain in 1993.

The Aventador’s engine is the company’s fifth in-house engine and its second V12 design after the 350GT’s 3.5-liter engine. Under the Aventador’s hood, there’s a 6.5-liter V12 mid-rear powerhouse that delivers 700 hp.

It has a single-clutch 7-speed automated manual transmission that’s faster and lighter than previous Lamborghini models, with 50-millisecond gear shifting. Lamborghini says it cuts through the terrain with “the world’s most emotional gearshift.” The car’s official top speed is 217 mph, but it has reached 220 mph in testing and can go zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.

With the Aventador, Lamborghini gave a nod to a few nagging complaints from their customers. This car gets slightly better fuel economy than previous models and has the stability of all-wheel drive, yet still has its engine positioned in the usual desirable spot: in the rear, just in front of the axle. It also has a remote-positionable rear spoiler and other features that maximize handling and traction.

Design-wise, the Aventador has Lamborghini’s trademark scissor doors and an aerodynamic shape with as many body parts as possible integrated into a single shell, including the bumpers. The Aventador’s carbon-fiber hull is a custom design that can only be recreated a limited number of times using the original 8 molds.

The interior of the Aventador is like a jet cockpit clad in fine leather, featuring an array of dash gauges, joysticks, buttons, and screens that comprise Lamborghini’s Human Machine Interface. Inside and out, the Aventador is about as smooth, sleek, and powerful as a sports car gets.

Lamborghini Diablo

After the Countach became Lamborghini’s flagship car and before the Murciélago did the same, it was the Diablo – the company’s first production vehicle to hit 200 mph. With its diabolical name and aerodynamic frame, Diablo exploded onto the car scene in 1990 to compete with other high-performance vehicles like the Porsche 911.

You might recognize the Diablo’s popped-up scissor doors and softly wedge-shaped body from the posters you saw on every teenage car lover’s bedroom walls in the 1990s. It’s one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. Interestingly enough, it arose during a tumultuous time for Lamborghini.

Shortly after the company was purchased by Chrysler in the late ‘80s, Lamborghini went through a design crisis. The Diablo’s design was already nearly complete, but Chrysler gave its sharp lines a thumbs-down and asked for something smoother and more futuristic-looking. The final body shape became an instant classic – and true to its devilish name, the Diablo came in hot colors like red, orange, and yellow.

The Diablo couldn’t just look good; it also had to be a truly powerful vehicle worthy of the Lamborghini name. At the time, it was competing with other supercars that were reaching 200 mph. So under the hood, Chrysler gave it a 5.7-liter dual overhead cam, 4 valves-per-cylinder V12 engine including multi-point computer-controlled fuel injection.

Not only could it hit 62 mph in 4.5 seconds, but it had comfort features with mass appeal: electric windows, fully adjustable seats, and an Alpine stereo system. By 1993, it came with power steering and anti-lock brakes, and soon you could add a remote CD changer, rear spoiler, or custom-fit driver’s seat.

Lamborghini Huracán

Introduced in 2014, the Lamborghini Huracán was the first V10 vehicle to combine both direct fuel injection and multi-point fuel injection. It is mid-engined for excellent balance with a 5.2-liter Audi/Lamborghini engine that drives with 602 hp.

The Huracán has less drag and more downforce than previous models, allowing it to cruise through corners at high speeds. It was designed to be an all-out supercar that could go from zero to 60 mph in an unbelievably fast 2.8 seconds. It’s easy to see why it was named the 2014 Supercar of the Year by Top Gear.

But the Huracán isn’t just for driving circles around a racetrack. It has the power of a high-performance speedster combined with the gentle handling of a luxury vehicle, which appeals to car enthusiasts around the world. Top Gear called it the most “rounded, coherent car” Lamborghini ever produced, with a comfortable ride that still offers the “visceral thrill a Lambo should.”

In the years after its initial introduction, the Huracán offered options that gave everyday drivers a unique and customizable experience, like optional rear-wheel drive and a convertible body style. On the professional racetrack, the Huracán Performante beat the Porsche 918 Spyder hypercar’s record by five seconds. To the amazement of fans and professional drivers alike, it did a lap around the 14-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife race track 30 seconds faster than the Ferrari 488 GTB.

Lamborghini Miura

In 1966, Lamborghini introduced a car that was secretly designed by the company’s engineering team in their free time, despite the objections of company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini. He preferred the looming presence of grand touring cars and disliked the Miura’s low, race car-based design. Plus, he thought it would be far too expensive to produce.

But he also hated his rival, Enzo Ferrari, and the two had traded much-publicized insults over Ferrari’s dominance in the high-performance car market. So when a Miura prototype impressed car show attendees and thrilled the press, it became the company’s newest flagship model. That’s right – the Miura exists out of spite!

Not only did the Miura have a charmingly futuristic look, but on the day it was released to the public, it was the world’s fastest production road car. It could hit 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. Imagine gazing at a gleaming 1966 Miura that looks straight out of the motorsports world, but is available to the average guy.

The interior of the Miura was about as close to a professional racecar as anyone could get in a production vehicle at the time: a low-sloping windshield, a steel wheel, gauges spread across the dash, and two seats leaning back for speed. And for a nervous passenger, the ‘66 Miura had an oversized grab handle near the gear shift just in case the car was creeping toward its top speed of 180 mph.

Today, the Miura is widely considered the world’s first supercar. It was built with a 350 hp 4.0-liter Bizzarrini V12 mid-mounted engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. Like all Lamborghinis, it was named after a Spanish fighting bull – in this case, a bull that was known for being particularly ferocious and cunning.

Lamborghini Reventón

If you had a million dollars, would you buy a Reventón? This extremely rare, limited edition vehicle was released as part of Lamborghini’s “few-off” strategy that falls somewhere between one-offs and the traditional limited releases of a few hundred or a few thousand cars.

Just 21 of the original 2007 Reventóns were made – 1 for the Lamborghini museum and 20 for the company’s VIP “friends and collectors.” And if you were a Lamborghini lover waiting for a lower-priced version of the Reventón, you were destined to be disappointed. Shortly thereafter, Lamborghini released the next version: a roofless, ultra-luxury Reventón Roadster for a whopping $2.1 million.

The design of the Reventón has been the subject of much controversy. Some call it a Murciélago in a fancy dress and others view it as a one-of-a-kind super exotic creation that couldn’t come from anywhere but Lamborghini. The original Reventón had oddly alluring details like programmable LED lighting, a two-toned synthetic suede interior, and a satiny grey exterior that looked like primer until sunlight revealed glistening metallic flakes hidden within the paint.

If you have the millions to spend and can find one of these rarities, you’ll get a magnificent sports car that blows your friends’ minds and blasts across the road like it was shot out of a missile launcher. Good thing it has Lamborghini’s carbon-ceramic brakes. The Reventón has a 6496 cc 6.5-liter V12 engine that goes from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 210 mph.
