Life Outside the Automotive Box: the 12 Best Lamborghini Models Ever

By

The Lamborghini we all know and love is a symbol of power, success, and extravagance. Loud, wild, and distinctly Italian, today’s Lamborghini supercars can draw a crowd in an instant and maintain the attention of even the most distracted teenagers.

But Lamborghini wasn’t always about flash. The automaker’s humble origins and initial creations were both simple and beautiful. Feruccio Lamborghini, a mechanic during WWII, built his empire to rival Enzo Ferrari, and the battle between these storied brands has waged for decades.

Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power points out that: “Manufacturers have made significant advancements that continue to redefine the vehicle ownership experience and have become more adept at translating innovation into meaningful customer engagement. However, the study finds that owners of new models have lower levels of satisfaction with vehicle setup and startup—as well as infotainment systems—compared with owners of carryover models.”
