If you asked any car fanatic or any human being for that matter, to name a famous car
brand, Lamborghini wouldn’t be far away from anyone’s lips.
Speed, elegance, bright colors, and craziness, Lambos aren’t exactly famed for slipping
under the radar.
As the luxury car manufacturer is all about pushing the boundaries, I’m Reacher, sit
back and grab a seat, while we talk about the 10 craziest Lambos ever made.
Automobil Lamborghini was founded in 1963, with its debut car, the 350 GT coming out
the next year.
A legendary motoring brand born out of a dodgy Ferrari... and the rest is history.
Number Ten
The Veneno Roadster was a limited production model, built for high performance in honor
of the manufacturer’s 50th anniversary.
It was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013 and generated quite the buzz
with an initial price tag of $4.5 million, making it one of the most expensive production
cars in the world at that time.
The name Veneno is Spanish for Venom, and this particular beast was named after a famous
fighting bull that killed its matador back in 1914.
The Veneno features Y-shaped elements inspired by the Aventador and rear wheel arches that
pay homage to the Countach.
Overall, it’s a pretty unique, monstrous, but beautiful-looking car.
Number Nine
From one high-performance beast to another, the Sesto Elemento was a lightning-fast track-only
car produced in 2011 and 2012.
The main feature of this particular design was the extensive use of carbon fiber, which
made the car extremely lightweight.
The use of the material brought about the name, a reference to the atomic number of carbon.
It debuted at the Paris Motor Show back in 2010, and only around 20 were ever produced.
With an obsessive focus on lightweight design, which ran through the entire vehicle, the
interior was pretty bare, with no wasted weight on the likes of a stereo or air-conditioning.
The seats were made from carbon fiber and foam and were bolted directly to the chassis
to reduce further weight and cost.
Number Eight
The J isn’t simply another Aventador, it is a whole new machine within its own right,
and what’s more, it has an incredible story behind it.
It was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2012 and ended up being the only unit produced
by Lamborghini.
The J in the car’s name is a throwback to the Miura Jota, another one-off Lambo from
the 1970s.
However, the most interesting part of it isn’t its name; it’s the time in which it was
conceived and put together.
Designer Filippo Perini revealed that that car was devised entirely in-house, having
drawn up the initial design in just one weekend.
Perini’s team then took the car from the drawing board to a working model in just six
weeks.
Number Seven
Introduced in 1998, the Diablo GT was one of the very first Lamborghini’s to extensively
use carbon fiber in its design.
Much like the Sesto Elemento, the majority of the bodywork and interior trim were made
from the lightweight material.
The GT was designed as a track version of the Diablo and was altered accordingly from
the original.
The bodywork was aggressively changed, the interior was stripped down and made lighter,
and the engine was enlarged.
Only 80 examples of the vehicle were ever produced for sale, with the GT was exclusive
to Europe.
Number Six
This next vehicle on the list is more about the legacy it represents rather than the car
itself.
Legendary Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni was deservedly the inspiration behind
the name of this particular design, a version of the most successful Lambo of the time,
the Gallardo.
Only 250 units were ever produced, and, upon the request of Balboni himself, it was created
as a rear-wheel-drive.
The elegant design features a white racing stripe down the center and Balboni’s signature
on the badge.
Number Five
Produced from 1974 to 1990, the Countach has transcended time in its evergreen popularity
among car fanatics.
The mesmerizing vehicle was rather out there for its time, with design duties falling on
the legendary Marcello Gandini and his sharp-edged, Italian wedge style.
The vehicle was designed to be the successor to the widely acclaimed Lamborghini Miura,
which had become a little dated by the early 70s.
The combined the need for performance and aerodynamics with the added bonus of being
aesthetically pleasing.
Many variations were created during its 16 years, with just under 2000 total units being
produced.
Number Four
The Reventon made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007.
Produced over a two year span it was stated stated that only 20 units would be sold to
the public, each stamped from zero to twenty between the driver’s and passenger’s seats.
Reports claim that ten units were delivered to the US, seven to Europe, one to Canada,
and two to Asia.
With an additional car being produced especially for the Lamborghini museum.
Number Three
Intended to be the successor to the Gallardo the Huracan was first introduced at the Geneva
Auto Show in 2014 and is still in production to this day.
The Company claims that the body of the car takes inspiration from the hexagonal spiky
forms of the carbon atom, yet another nod to this particular element.
There have been over ten variants of the Huracan, two of which are racing versions, including
the successful GT3.
Number Two
This next vehicle is something a little different, from low, sleek, supercars to the Lamborghini
Truck.
The LM002 is an off-road truck produced between 1986 and 1993, which seems rather off-brand
for the manufacturer.
Though designing the truck was a departure from the norm it didn’t come without preparation,
with the first production model being revealed at the 1986 Brussels Auto Show.
The company hoped to market the truck as a military vehicle, as well as for use by companies
in oil exploration and production.
It was eventually dubbed the ‘Rambo Lambo.’
Number One
Words can barely describe the final car on our list, the monstrous Egoista.
The majority of the Lambos we have mentioned so far have been crazy in performance or concept,
but this one is just plain crazy through and through.
Believe it or not, the fully-functioning concept car was based on the Gallardo, and was revealed
as part of the manufacturer’s 50th-anniversary celebrations.
The body is supposed to look like a charging bull from the side, while also taking inspiration
from modern airplanes.
The Egoista also features a single-seat cockpit, in which the driver must first remove the
steering wheel to enter, much like an F1 race car.
And there we have it, 10 of the craziest Lambos ever born from the legacy of Ferruccio himself.
