No matter how much your Lamborghini-daydreaming younger self would try to cast you out like the devil was in the house if you told them, Lamborghini SUVs are already here and hybrids are on the way. It’s true, you tell your younger self, that Lamborghini is rolling with the trends of practicality and more efficiency.
Apropos of nothing, Lamborghini has returned Minardi M191B chassis #003 to vintage racing duties after a lengthy seven-month restoration by the company’s Polo Storico division. Many of the original 1990s Lamborghini and Minardi staff were involved in the restoration. Polo Storico is dedicated to the preservation and…
Police in Los Angeles responded late Sunday to a head-on crash involving a Lamborhini Huracán and a Ford Mustang that, according to the Los Angeles Daily News, left two men injured.
If there’s one thing I learned on my recent trip to Italy, it’s that style matters. Looking good is more important than looking where you’re going. So it’s no wonder the storied art of coachbuilding—creating customized bodies for cars—is still well and truly alive in the nondescript town of Arese, Northern Italy. Here…
Lamborghini reportedly showed about 200 potential customers a prototype of a new hybrid supercar that’s set to debut soon, according to a website called The Supercar Blog. Treat it with skepticism, but Lamborghini’s been talking about production cars going hybrid for a while now. This would get that rolling.
Does your Lamborghini Miura have a wing on the roof? No. It does not. But the Lamborghini Mirua SVR does, now restored by Lamborghini Storico itself to live a full life on track in Japan, where it went from car to legend.
Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories you need to know.
The only thing cooler than old concept cars is old concept cars that get a second life. The Lamborghini Marzal is one of those cars, and it took to the track on May 11-13 for the Monaco Historic Grand Prix for the first time since its sole outing in 1968 at the actual Monaco GP, driven by Prince Rainier and Princess…
There’s a big cryptocurrency conference raking in about $3,000 a ticket in New York City this week (we’re totally going, obviously) and, as prices indicate, there’s a lot of show to go with it. Take the Lamborghinis parked outside of a hotel used by the conference, which Bloomberg reports were rented by a crypto…
Pope Francis got a Lamborghini Huracan last year with a one-off design just for him. But what’s a pope going to do with a Huracan? Floor it down the streets of Vatican City, putting the fear of God in everyone? Of course not. The pope is going to auction it for charity, which he did. It sold for almost $1 million.
When the Lamborghini Gallardo debuted in... 2003? Wait, lemme Google that. Yep, 2003. I remembered that off the top of my head. I have a problem. Anyway, when the Gallardo debuted, everyone criticized it for not being a “real Lamborghini,” small with a V10. But that idea wasn’t as new as people think.
Automakers that cater to the ultra wealthy are all about details. Aston Martin loves talking about its handmade vehicles. Bugatti will send “flying doctors” to tend to cars on a whim. The only word Rolls-Royce knows is “bespoke.” Then there’s Lamborghini, which put the wrong safety labels on its $2 million Centenario.
“How many times can this woman write the word ‘actual’ in a headline?” you ask, annoyed. Well, you would actually have to assure yourself this is an actual situation, too, if you had to blog about someone buying a wall sign—a sign!—of letters and numbers alluding to “Lambo” for the price of an actual Lamborghini.
The President is a reality show host and the Pope is selling cars. 2018 is weird.
We’ve seen pictures of that crazy Lamborghini Huracan with a giant camera hanging off its nose, but now there’s footage showing exactly why the “Huracam” machine was built in the first place: to chase down supercars.
If it looks like part of that Lamborghini Huracán was on fire at some point, it’s because it was. Luckily, the fire has since been put out and all is (relatively) right again in the world.
“That thing looks like a fighter jet,” “...spaceship,” “...Cigarette boat.” Few people in the presence of a 2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster can bring themselves to call it a car. It’s the manifestation of immature and indulgent fantasies. And it is magnificent.
It was unexpected, to say the least, to see a series 1 Lamborghini Espada parked silently on a crowded street in Paris. That is a memory that I’ll never be able to push from my brain, it’s indelibly inked. This giant white vintage Lambo would have been exciting to see parked in a private collection, or even a museum…
Go ahead and toss out all of those early 2000s posters with dramatic speed lines trailing out from behind an overly geometric Gallardo, because Lamborghini has a new race car for teenagers to plaster all over their bedroom walls: the Urus. Yep, Lamborghini wants to race its new $200,000 SUV.
Perhaps the best part of the Lamborghini Huracán is that it’s still powered by a naturally aspirated V10 engine. Once plentiful, naturally aspirated engines have now become a rarity. Will the Huracán’s replacement keep to that idea? Sure, if Lamborghini gets its way.
