The book of the Lamborghini Murcielago
The wedge-shaped V12 Lamborghini flagships were always spectacular - in shape, sound and performance. The Murcielago was an evolution of the Countach and the Diablo, and was as iconic in its time as its illustrious predecessors were in theirs.
This book examines the Murcielago in detail, while casting a look back through Lamborghini's troubled history, to understand how the Murcielago came into being. Ferrucio Lamborghini, Patrick Minram, Megatech, Chrysler, and finally VW-Audi, all played their part in the birth of this modern classic.
The book touches on the people and organisations involved in the production of this iconic car, before examining each of the model variants, and discusses the joys and tribulations of ownership.

This comprehensive illustrated book meticulously explores the Lamborghini Diablo, focusing on Ferruccio Lamborghini's vision for his iconic supercar company and the notable influence of his directive to abstain from racing. The analysis encompasses each model variant, delving into the socio-politico-economic circumstances that necessitated and shaped the Diablo's design and development. Despite Lamborghini's departure, his principles persisted, prompting both evolutionary modifications and groundbreaking innovations throughout the Diablo's enduring tenure.
Authored by two seasoned owners with over two decades of experience managing Lamborghini flagships, the book goes beyond historical insights. It addresses pre-purchase considerations, known issues, and the importance of a thorough inspection. The narrative further navigates through the purchasing process, challenges of periodic servicing, preventative maintenance, and appropriate garaging. Concluding with a vivid portrayal of the sheer joy and excitement of piloting a Diablo, this book is an essential resource for enthusiasts seeking a deeper understanding of this automotive masterpiece.

The Lamborghini Urraco: the little baby Lambo that was meant to beat the Porsche 911 and Ferrari 308, but which instead ran into a myriad of problems.
This book describes what really happened, and why the car never got the chance it deserved.
The Urraco lived on in the form of the Silhouette and the Jalpa; the latter greatly responsible for keeping the Lamborghini brand alive in the 1980s.
The full story of these V8 Lamborghinis is recorded in these pages, with exclusive interviews from the leading figures behind the cars. The book also includes detailed advice on what to look out for when buying one of these future supercar classics.
Hundreds of amazing photos, most never before published makes this the ultimate book on the V8 Lamborghinis.

Lamborghini Urus - Der Supersportwagen unter den SUV
Urus is the name of the new primal force among sporty off-road vehicles - the Italian high-performance manufacturer Automobili Lamborghini therefore speaks quite naturally of a super SUV. This monograph deals with the present and future of the first series-produced five-door car from Sant'Agata Bolognese, which leaves a strong impression both technically and in terms of driving dynamics - on any terrain.
The Urus origins are not neglected: Unlike most SUV manufacturers, Lamborghini has a decades-long all-wheel drive history, which is presented here knowledgeably and in all its nuances.
