There were eight models of the Lamborghini Countach altogether; Countach LP500 prototype, Countach LP400, Countach LP400 S, Countach LP500 S, Countach LP Turbo S, Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole, 25th Anniversary Countach, and the Walter Wolf Countach.

After previously founding a tractor company and an air-conditioning company, Ferruccio Lamborghini founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 to compete with established marques, including Ferrari.

In keeping with Lamborghini tradition, the Aventador is named after a fighting bull.

In 1998, it was sold to the Volkswagen Group where it was placed under the control of the group's Audi division.

Ferruccio famously owned a Ferrari 250GT, which he repeatedly took in to be serviced at the Maranello headquarters because of a faulty clutch. When he politely asked Enzo Ferrari for a replacement part, Ferrari replied "You're just a silly tractor manufacturer, how could you possibly know anything about sports cars?" Like any red blooded Italian, he spat on the floor, walked out and started designing his own sports car.

The 350 GT had an all-aluminium alloy V12 engine mated to a five-speed ZF manual transmission.

Production of the Murciélago ended on 5 November 2010, with a total production run of 4,099 cars.

Only the single prototype Portofino, chassis #LC0001, was ever produced. In 1991, it was heavily damaged in an accident in transit. However, Chrysler had it restored and put it on display at Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Of the 54 units built (12 with right-hand drive), 31 are currently known to exist.

The Silhouette later evolved into the similar looking but more successful Lamborghini Jalpa.
