The Lamborghini Countach has become a legend in its own time, but Automobili Lamborghini took this masterpiece one-step further. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the creation of Automobili Lamborghini SpA they designed and built what would become the ultimate Countach.
The Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder has been especially awarded the title of ‘Top Gear Dream Car of the Year’ for 2006. The V10, 520 bhp convertible was voted into the dream car category’s first place by a team of judges from the Top Gear TV and magazine, including Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond and magazine editor Michael Harvey.
During the 1986 production year, Giulio Alfieri received a new redesign for the legendary Countach. The QuattroValvole was in production, but Ferrari was closing the gap very fast, so Lamborghini had to come with something new. The R&D department at Automobili Lamborghini SpA was urged to modify the Countach to keep it at the top of the supercar market.
Automobili Lamborghini SpA debuted their SE30 Diablo model as a limited edition, only 150 would be made, each one numbered and wearing a special plaque stating which serial number the car had, but within this already very limited production run you could request an even more exclusive car : a Diablo SE30 with a Jota upgrade.
A driver training as extreme as the Sant’Agata super sports cars themselves is what the Lamborghini Academy is all about. Following the very successful Winter Academy, Automobili Lamborghini has finally launched its Track Experiences programme for the autumn of 2006, available to both Lamborghini customers and those who wish to experience the adrenaline of driving a high performance car to the best of their abilities.
