4. Ferruccio Lamborghini was a
successful tractor manufacturer
before he got interested in
sports cars. His interest in
sports cars made him buy many
different high-performance cars
including both Maseratis and
Ferraris, but he was never
really happy with any of them
and therefore decided to built
his own, perfect sports car

5. Lamborghini used to be an
independent company, but
today it is a subsidiary of the
German company Audi AG.
Audi AG became the owner of
Lamborghini in 1998.

6. The fastest Lamborghini is
the Le Mans version of the
Murcielago R-GT model. It has
been reported to have a top
speed of 370 km/h. The fastest
street model from Lamborghini
is the Murcielago LP640 with
an estimated top speed of 340
km/h. Both of the models have
a V12 engine with more than
6000 cc.
FACT4

7. Several of the newer
Lamborghini models feature the
familiar Lamborghini scissor
doors that rotate up and
forward on a hinge near the
front of the door. The
Countach, the Diablo and the
Murcielago all have scissor
doors, but the Gallardo does
not. Both the Countach and the
Diablo are no longer being
produced, so the Murcielago is
the only current model with
scissor doors.

been produced with less than a
V8 engine. Most of the
Lamborghini models
throughout the history of the
company have come with the

engine. No Lamborghini models
with a V8 engine have been
since production of the
Silhouette stopped in 1989.

version was called 350GT and
had a top speed of 240 km/h.
The Countach from 1974 was
the first Lamborghini to go
faster than 300 km/h.
