Used Lamborghini cars overview

Lamborghini is, of course, famous for being a great Italian rival to Ferrari, but whereas Ferrari has always seemed the more serious, motorsport-focused company, Lamborghini has a more playful, fun-loving streak.

That’s reflected in the cars, from the beautiful 1960s Miura to the wild 1980s Countach and the dramatic 1990s Diablo. Essentially, though, there are two Lamborghinis — there’s the company formed by a wealthy tractor manufacturer in the 1960s (Ferruccio Lamborghini, who allegedly started the company because he hated the way Ferrari treated him as a customer) and the Lamborghini we’ve had since 1998 when Audi took control.

The ‘modern’ Lambo is probably best seen in the Gallardo, a mid-engined sports car, related to the Audi R8, built between 2003 and 2013, which is dramatic to look at and blisteringly quick, but easy to drive and day-to-day useable.
