As Lamborghini celebrates its 50th anniversary we take a closer look at the firm’s halo model and the world’s first supercar – the Miura.
For years debate has raged over whether the Miura’s beautiful shape should be attributed to Giorgetto Giugiaro or Marcello Gandini, so we settle the argument once and for all with the definitive story.
Then we get behind the wheel of the legendary Lambo to confirm just what all the fuss is about, before talking to one lucky owner about driving the car day-to-day.
And if you are, or could be, lucky enough to buy your own, we talk to an expert about how to choose a good one.
Then we take a look at another of the Raging Bull’s landmark models – the Countach.
When Ken Imhoff’s eyes fell on the flagship Lamborghini he knew he had to have one, but could never afford it. So began his 17-year project to build his own.
C&SC follows the story from Imhoff taking measurements from the real thing in a showroom to releasing the finished article from the cellar of his house, with the help of a digger.
Thankfully, Mick Walsh didn’t have to build his dream car – Mercedes-Benz had already done that for him – and he jets off to the Nürburgring to drive the fabulous 300SLR.
