Celebrate six decades of outrageous, unforgettable Lamborghini cars with this must-have volume featuring fascinating history and stunning photography!

HAVING WOWED VISITORS TO THE GENEVA MOTOR SHOW, in 1966 with the Miura, and in 1967 with the futuristic Marzal concept, Ferruccio Lamborghini intended that in 1968 his company would demonstrate maturity and a more rounded model range. He had not set out to become a supercar manufacturer, and yet interest in the Miura far exceeded the public’s appetite for the 350GT and 400GT, cars Ferruccio felt more in tune with his vision.

The Lamborghini V-12’s air inlet ports are between the camshafts rather than inside or outside the V.

A KEY CHALLENGE FACING LAMBORGHINI—in common with other supercar manufacturers—is the process of transitioning away from fossil fuels. For all that the effects of the oil cost shocks of the 1970s are embedded within the company’s turbulent history, the fact remains that its brand identity is predicated upon big, muscular cars powered by thirsty, large-capacity, multi-cylinder engines. How will the bull prosper in a new commercial landscape in which fuel is harder and more costly to obtain and less socially acceptable to burn in profligate quantities? There is a finite quantity of efficiency gains a performance car manufacturer can find through lightweighting.
