Miura P400
On the November 1965 Turin Auto Show, Ferruccio Lamborghini surprised everybody with his latest car, only the framework could be seen on the show, but this was already very special, the engine was transversely mid-mounted, up to then this configuration was only seen in real race cars.
The complete design of the body was executed by Marcello Gandini in record time, and on the March 1966 Geneva Show it was completed and on display, it looked even better than in Turin, the car was very aggressively styled, and an apropriate name was chosen for it, the Miura, a name taken from the ferocious Spanish fighting bulls.
Lamborghini began revising and refining from there original Jarama, eventually launching a massively improved Jarama S during March 1972 at the Geneva Salon. Period factory literature stated that just under 100kg was shed from the original Jarama’s curb weight and when combined with a hot new 365bhp engine, meant there were some impressive performance gains. Further improvements to cabin ergonomics and build quality ensured the S was a very fine car.
In the medium-high power segment, Lamborghini has decided to launch a new cab module with “high-visibility” panoramic roof on the R4 85-110 and R5 115-130 ranges.
The limited edition Lamborghini Gallardo SE as announced by Automobili Lamborghini SpA, in the Summer of 2005. Limited to 250 units worldwide, UK deliveries commenced September 2005. Based on the extreme and uncompromising Lamborghini Gallardo, the SE model benefits from several technical as well as aesthetic enhancements.

In 2005 Lamborghini announced a new warranty for tractor models from 130 HP upwards. The plan was highly innovative for the farming industry, and extends the warranty of all tractor components to 24 months or 2000 hours of operation. This gives customers increased security and confidence in the effectiveness of their investment, and will free them from the risk of unforeseen repair costs.
