~~Yeah you heard it right !!!~~

Favorite of many of you The BeAsT Lamborghini will be opened up today here on Everything Interesting...

But if you don't know what and why i'm calling it a Beast : cLicK me for WallpaperS of its LOGO

HERE are the things YOU must be AWARE of -->

I..The only place in the world where a Lamborghini will not be a rare sight is Sant'Agata Bolognese, a small administrative division 32 km from Bologna. This place is home to Lamborghini, the Italian sports car maker.

II..The founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, was fond of Ferraris, but found them too noisy for regular use. Once, he realized that the clutch of his Ferrari was broken, and found that it was the same clutch he uses in his tractors. When he approached Ferrari for a replacement, the company told him he was a tractor maker and knew nothing about sports cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

III..The first Lamborghini was the 350GTV from 1963. It was extremely fast for its time with a top speed of 280 km/h. In 1964 a smaller version of the 350GTV appeared. The smaller version was called 350GT and had a top speed of 240 km/h. The Countach from 1974 was the first Lamborghini to go faster than 300 km/h.

IV..Lamborghini used to be an independent company, but today it is a subsidiary of the German company Audi AG. Audi AG became the owner of Lamborghini in 1998. Lamborghini went bankrupt in 1978 and was sold to Chrysler a long time before Audi AG became the sole owner of the company.

V..In 1975 Walter Wolf, a rich Canadian businessman and F1 racing team owner, persuade Lamborghini to produce three super powered Countach models. The Wolf Countach had the same engine as the original Countach prototype and were able to reach a top speed of 315 km/h.

VI..No Lamborghini have ever been produced with less than a V8 engine. Most of the Lamborghini models throughout the history of the company have come with the legendary Lamborghini V12 engine, but the newest model, Gallardo, only have a V10 engine. No Lamborghini models with a V8 engine have been since production of the Silhouette stopped in 1989.

VII..The company produced a record 2,430 vehicles in 2008. Of this, nearly 1,800 were the best-selling car, the Gallardo, and just over 630 of them were the flagship model, the Murcielago.

VIII.The fastest Lamborghini is the Le Mans version of the Murcielago R-GT model. It has been reported to have a top speed of 370 km/h. The fastest street model from Lamborghini is the Murcielago LP640 with an estimated top speed of 340 km/h. Both of the models have a V12 engine with more than 6000 cc.

IX..Lamborghini has topped the Murcielago with a new version, the Murcielago SV. SV stands for "Super Veloce" meaning "super-fast". It costs 300,000 euros.

X..The entire car is made of carbon fibre, except the steel roof and the doors.

XI..Several of the newer Lamborghini models feature the familiar Lamborghini scissor doors that rotate up and forward on a hinge near the front of the door. The Countach, the Diablo and the Murcielago all have scissor doors, but the Gallardo does not. Both the Countach and the Diablo are no longer being produced, so the Murcielago is the only current model with scissor doors.

XII..Ferruccio Lamborghini chose the bull logo for Lamborghini because his sun sign was Taurus. The cars, too, are named after fighting bulls, such as the Miura, the Diablo, the Gallardo and the Murcielago.

XIII..Lamborghini provides two Gallardos to the Italian state police, which uses the cars for delivering organ transplants to patients.

"Ferruccio Lamborghini was a successful tractor manufacturer .His interest in sports cars made him buy many different high-performance cars including both Maseratis and Ferraris, but he was never really happy with any of them and therefore decided to built his own, perfect sports car...."

~~SO WE GOT THE LAMBORGHINI~~
