Lamborghini's cars are among the most powerful, expensive and exclusive serial-manufactured cars on the road nowadays. Lamborghini's various models have different exclusive features, such as high-tech V10 engines, carbon fiber construction, and styling penciled by such names as Franco Scaglione, Touring of Milan, Zagato, Mario Marazzi, Bertone, ItalDesign and Marcello Gandini.

Automobili-Lamborghini S.P.A., commonly referred to as Lamborghini, is a subsidiary of German car manufacturer Audi AG, which in turn is a subsidiary of Volkswagen. Lamborghini is a manufacturer of high performance sports cars, which is based in the small Italian village of Sant'Agata Bolognese, near Bologna. Businessman Ferruccio Lamborghini, who owned a successful tractor factory, Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A, founded the company in 1963.

Lamborghini's 'mainstream' models display great engineering expertise, but it is the outrageous supercar models that have brought Lamborghini its reputation. The Miura, the Diablo, the Countach, and the Murcielago, continue to be some of the most desired super cars of all time. The current range consists of the Murcielago LP640, the Murcielago LP640 Roadster and the smaller, less expensive Gallardo and Gallardo Spyder. All are very fast, mid-engined 2-seaters with Lamborghini's standard all-wheel drive systems. Their styling is mainly the work of Belgian designer Luc Donckerwolke. Future models may include a rear-wheel-drive version of the Gallardo and possibly a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) in the spirit of the LM002 might also appear. The next generation of Lamborghini models will be designed by Walter de'Silva, who designed the 2006 Miura concept car and who replaced Luc Donckerwolke as head of Centro Stile Lamborghini, Lamborghini's in-house design department.

• Screen your candidate - the specific car you are looking at and see the car's service records and also be sure it will pass both state safety and emissions tests.
