Early 1960s

Lamborghini was unimpressed with the quality of the 350GTV, and ordered a complete redesign for the firm's first production car.



The 350GTV was reworked into the production 350GT; the company sold 120 of them.


1965–1966

1967–1968


Debuting in 1967, the groundbreakingMiura (background) became Lamborghini's first high-performance two-seater

The Islero was a sales disappointment, but faithful to Ferruccio's ideal of a reliable grand tourer.

1969–1970


The Espada was Lamborghini's first truly popular model, with more than 1,200 sold during its ten years of production.

The Urraco was the first clean-sheet Lamborghini design since the 350GTV.

1973–1977

The Countach, then the most popular and successful Lamborghini in history, was in production from 1974 to 1988.

The Diablo was the fastest car in production when it was released in 1990

1998–present

The Diablo would be Lamborghini's mainstay throughout the 90s, and was continually updated throughout the various changes in ownership.

The "Baby Lambo", envisioned in 1997, was introduced in 2003 as the Gallardo.
