Growing With the Lamborghini 400GT

The Lamborghini 400GT is a follow-through of the successful launching of the first Lamborghini sports car, the 350GT. Motoring enthusiasts got their first glimpse of the Lamborghini 400GT in the 1966 Geneva show. This 2+2-seated sports car, compared to its predecessor, has increased power of 320 bhp (239 kW) coming from a larger engine of 3929 cc (240 c.i.). The Lamborghini 400GT also has a longer wheel base and larger body shape to accommodate two seats at the back of the car, in contrast to the 350GT which only has room enough for luggage or one seat at the rear. The two model’s roof lines were also markedly different as some sheet metal changes were made in the later model.

The Lamborghini 400GT has a vastly improved drive-train after Porsche-style synchromesh was adopted in all its gears which incorporated a Lamborghini-designed gear box. There are several variations of the Lamborghini 400GT. Twenty-three of these smaller 400GT variants were manufactured sporting the four-liter V12 engine of the Lamborghini 350 GT, with three having aluminum bodies. There was also a one-off version of the Lamborghini 400GT called the 400GT Monza supposedly ordered as an American racing entry for Le Mans. All in all, 247 units of the Lamborghini 400GT were manufactured from 1966 to 1968, after which it was succeeded by the Lamborghini Islero.

Lamborghini Espada, a True Four-Seater

Motoring enthusiasts marveled at the Lamborghini Espada when it was introduced in 1968 to fill the role of a true four-seater in the Lamborghini sports car stable. This grand tourer’s original fittings included a V12 engine of 4.0L 325 bhp (242 kW), four-wheel disc brakes and fully independent suspension. Its gearing is rather unusual at 3 ratios of drive, 1 and reverse. The Lamborghini Espada likewise was the introduction platform for the first automatic transmissions that could absorb a large sporting V12’s torque.

There were three series of Espadas that went into production. These are: the S1 series, which was manufactured from 1968 to 1970, the S2 from 1979 to 1972 and the S3 from 1972 to 1978. There were engine power improvements in each series, and dramatic alterations in the interiors. Only minor details were touched in the exteriors. For the S2, entirely new steering wheel and dashboard were installed, which were again redone in the S3. Optional power steering was offered in 1970, followed by an option automatic transmission offer in 1974. US safety standards required impact bumpers to be installed in the Lamborghini Espada in 1975, leading some people to believe that it is a S4 series although Lamborghini did not have such a design in mind. A total of 1217 Lamborghini Espada units were manufactured before it was phased out in 1978.

Okay, Lamborghini. We get it. It's got 670 horsepower. It has all-wheel drive. It's really fast. It's made for China. It's a limited edition model. Did you really need to put all of that information in the name? The exclusive features of the car over the standard model perhaps takes less time to describe: An orange stripe symbolizing the "strength of an erupting volcano" (poorly timed) over flat gray paint and... well, that's about it. Oh, and a numbered badge with the owner's name. After all, nothing makes you feel special like a numbered badge.

Introduced by the Italian supercar builder today at the Beijing Motor Show to solidify its commitment to building its brand in China, the Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition should help Lamborghini continue to grow its presence in the country, where it expanded business last year by 11 percent and will be launching its eighth Chinese dealership this week. A cause for celebration, no? Hit the jump for the press release or check out the gallery below to see what a Murcielago LP670-4 SV looks like with a slightly different paint job.

The Lamborghini Countach is a mid-engined sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990. Its design both pioneered and popularized the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high performance sports cars. The "cabin-forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward in order to accommodate a larger engine, was also popularized by the Countach.

Lamborghini Cars review

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.,[Notes 1] commonly referred to as Lamborghini (pronounced [lamborˈɡini] ( listen)), is an Italian automaker based in the small township of Sant'Agata Bolognese. The company was founded in 1963 by manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini, who set out to create a refined grand touring car.

The company's first offerings, the 350GT and 400GT, were noted for their refinement, power, and comfort. Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coupé, which established mid-engine design as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era. After a decade of rapid growth, hard times befell the company in the mid-1970s, as sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 world financial downturn and oil crisis. After a bankruptcy and three changes in ownership, Lamborghini came under the corporate umbrella of the Chrysler Corporation. The American company failed to return the automaker to profitability and sold it to Indonesian interests in 1994. Lamborghini's lack of success continued through the 1990s, until the company was sold in 1998 to AUDI AG, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, a German automotive concern. Audi's ownership marked the beginning of a period of stability and increased productivity for Lamborghini, with sales increasing nearly tenfold over the course of the 2000s. A world financial crisis in the late 2000s saw Lamborghini's sales cut in half, leading CEO Stephen Winkelmann to predict continued poor sales for supercar makers.

Lamborghini Reventon Cars Wallpapers

Lamborghini presents the ultimate driving machine among open-top two-seaters - the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster is a sports car of breathtaking fascination, menacing power and uncompromising performance. The 6.5 liter twelve-cylinder generates 493 kW (670 PS), catapulting the Roadster from 0 to 100 Km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 330 KM/h (205 mph). The open-top Lamborghini Reventón is not only one of the fastest, but also one of the most exclusive cars in the world - Lamborghini has limited the series.

The Lamborghini Reventón is not destined to remain a one-off. Less than 20 Lamborghini friends and collectors will be able to own this extraordinary car and, naturally, enjoy the incomparable pleasure of driving it.

Each Lamborghini Reventón Roadster will be sold for 1.1 Million Euro (without taxes). Deliveries will begin October 2009.

"The Lamborghini Reventón is the most extreme car in the history of the brand," comments Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. "The new Roadster adds an extra emotional component to our combined technological expertise - it unites superior performance with the sensual fascination of open-top driving." The Lamborghini Reventón Coupé was presented at the 2007 IAA in Frankfurt and was sold out immediately.

Open-top sports cars are a tradition at Lamborghini that stretches back over 40 years. In 1968, the company from Sant'Agata Bolognese built a Lamborghini Miura without a fixed roof as a one-off. The Lamborghini Diablo Roadster appeared in 1995 with its targa roof anchored to the engine cover.
