Lamborghini: Miura Countach Diablo Murcielago (Haynes Great Cars)

by Richard Dredge

Many a beautiful thing was brought into existence in a fit of inspired anger, and Lamborghini surely ranks as one of the most beautiful. In response to Enzo Ferrari’s arrogance, Senor Ferruccio Lamborghini set about making a sports car that would better the Prancing Horse. Today Lamborghini posters dominate the bedroom walls of young men and boys, the epitome of the flamboyant Italian supercar.

Four different Lamborghini models, the Miura, the Contach, the Diablo and the Murcielago, have probably contributed most to the marque’s image, and this book boasts stunning photography to celebrate these models. An excellent book for lovers of Italian supercars.
