Lamborghini: Forty Years

by David Jolliffe

Lamborghini has been one of the world's most flamboyant and exotic car marques. Previous Lamborghini car books have been little more than collections of pictures of the cars and technical descriptions, but this one describes the character of the men whose passion for Lamborghini kept the company alive. The book is published in 2004 as the all-new Lamborghini Gallardo goes on sale, 41 years after the original 350GTV burst onto the scene at the Turin auto show.

Lamborghini: Supercars from Sant'Agata (Haynes Classic Makes)

by Anthony Pritchard

When the 495bhp Gallardo was launched in 2004, motoring journalists were impressed - this stylish supercar combined the ferocity of Lamborghini with the polish and practicality of Audi and, being lower in price, it didn't scorch the wallet quite as much as its bigger brother, the Murcielago. Lamborghinis have always quickened the pulse, of course, and this book shows why. Packed with model analysis, driving impressions, technical specifications, buying hints, personal anecdotes and sumptuous photographs, it tells the story of this exotic marque, from the peasant background of founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, to its burning ambition to beat Ferrari in the manufacture of supercars.
