Lamborghini: The Legend

Lamborghini was the creation of one man, like many exclusive brands, and his cars were to become legendary. This fascinating book recalls them all, through a careful selection of superb color photographs and an authoritative text.

Ferruccio Lamborghini, a self-made multimillionaire industrialist, decided to build world-beating GT cars early in the 1960s. He set up a factory, commissioned leading Italian designers, and in mid-decade astonished the automotive world with his first sophisticated V12-powered cars.

Soon Lamborghini introduced the stunning Miura, which was soon to be followed by the head turning Countach in the 1970s, and later the Diablo for the 1990s. There were others - most associated with fighting bulls by their names - Islero, Espada, Jarama, Urraco, and more.

Lamborghini has always created desirable, high-performance cars - built by a company motivated by passion, despite often being beset by problems. Each stunning member of the outstanding family of Lamborghini cars is described in this books, set against a background of the company's shifting fortunes.
