Greatest Lamborghini Models of All Time
Transcript
00:00 Greetings everyone, welcome to the Rich Rabbit.
00:05 Lamborghini founded in 1963 has developed a persona no other car brand has.
00:10 And with nearly six decades of boundary-pushing design and engineering, what is the best Lamborghini?
00:16 Picking a brand's best products is no easy feat, of course.
00:19 After all, how does one even describe what makes a car the greatest?
00:23 Are we talking about the most powerful, the prettiest, or simply the cars that push the
00:27 envelope the furthest?
00:29 In Lamborghini's case, we're using "greatest" to mean the cars that had the biggest impact.
00:34 Not just on the world of supercars, but the automaker itself.
00:39 Tuck in, here are the 6 greatest Lamborghini cars ever made.
00:43 6.
00:45 The Huracan
00:46 The first one on our list, we have the Huracan, or Hurricane, as you may have already guessed.
00:50 The Huracan is a different type of Lamborghini, not just a car for cruising around Beverly
00:54 Hills, but it delivers an unparalleled sports car experience.
00:58 It unites mighty performance with a character perfectly suited for everyday use.
01:03 Its wide-ranging new technologies work together in a fully integrated fashion.
01:08 Thanks to its 610 horsepower output at 8,250 rpm, quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox, an
01:15 electronically controlled all-wheel drive system, 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds, and a top
01:20 speed in excess of 202mph.
01:23 Steven Winkleman, president and CEO of Lamborghini, said, "With the Huracan, Lamborghini is writing
01:28 the next chapter in its great history."
01:31 The outgoing model served Lamborghini very well, selling an unsupercar-like 14,022 examples
01:38 over the course of a decade.
01:40 It evolved quite a bit along the way, moving from somewhat clunky, understeer-prone entry-level
01:45 Lambo to a lighter, more powerful, and considerably more dynamic animal.
01:50 There are different variants of this car, and the price ranges from just under $200,000
01:55 to $274,000.

02:03 The Diablo In June 1985, Automobile Lamborghini decided
02:08 it was time to start thinking about a replacement for their legendary Hoontok.
02:12 It would take the Lamborghini development team another five years to complete the new
02:15 supercar, the Diablo.
02:17 The name Diablo means "devil" in Spanish.
02:20 When the Diablo was finally unveiled in 1990, this beast had a top speed of 202 miles per
02:25 hour.
02:26 Not only was it significant for surpassing the Hoontok, but it also marked the first
02:31 time a production car had ever had a top speed over 200 miles per hour.
02:36 When it comes to acceleration, the standard Diablo was capable of going from 0 to 62 miles
02:40 per hour in just 4.5 seconds.
02:44 This was another impressive milestone at the time.
02:46 The Lamborghini Diablo saw many different variants over its 11-year life cycle.
02:51 However, that first model, which was able to get over the 200 mile an hour mark, was
02:55 quite mesmerizing.
02:57 It employed a 5.7-liter V12 that was capable of producing 485 horsepower and 428 pound-feet
03:04 of torque.
03:05 Also, it was a rear-wheel drive model.
03:09 Owners started taking delivery of this ultimate Lamborghini in June of 1990, exactly five
03:13 years after the start of the project, and the Diablo sold well.
03:17 It showed up in various test reports all over the world, always with great success.
03:21 A few faults were however still there.
03:23 The heavy steering and the same heavy operation of the clutch, two problems that always were
03:28 present on Lamborghinis.
03:30 The main directive for the Diablo was simple.
03:33 Its top speed had to be at least 315 kilometers per hour.
03:37 Work started in 1985 and the company made its biggest investment yet in a new platform.
03:42 Marcello Gandini was the right person to design the Diablo.
03:45 The Diablo received a modified V12 engine, still with four valves per cylinder, but now
03:50 with a displacement of 5.7 liters and a newly developed multi-point fuel injection system.
03:56 This new supercar was wide, low, and futuristic.
04:00 The Diablo was produced between 1990 and 2001 and sold almost 3,000 units.
04:07 Number 4.
04:08 The Veneno According to Lamborghini, the Veneno is named
04:11 after one of the strongest and most aggressive bullfighters ever.
04:15 The Veneno guarantees a performance that is nothing short of mind-blowing.
04:19 Built on a Deventador running gear to celebrate Lambo's 50th anniversary, the Lamborghini
04:23 Veneno is consistently focused on optimum aerodynamics and cornering stability, giving
04:29 the vehicle the authentic dynamic experience of a racing prototype.
04:34 Power comes from the incredible L539 6.5-liter V12 engine, upgraded here to produce 740 horsepower.
04:42 With a top speed of 220 miles per hour, the ability to go 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, and a braking
04:48 speed of 60-0 in just 98 feet, the Veneno can pull up and be gone in less time than
04:54 it takes for you to pick your job off the ground.
04:57 The Veneno is fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires on 20-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels
05:02 in the rear.
05:04 Door locking hubs allow for quicker changes.
05:06 The interior is largely carried over from the Aventador and is clad in carbon fiber.
05:12 For those that missed out on the three hardtop versions, Lamborghini also created a handful
05:16 of roadster variants.
05:18 In 2014, the Lamborghini unveiled the Veneno Roadster on the Italian naval aircraft carrier
05:23 Cavour docked in Abu Dhabi's Mina Zeyad port, which was later sold for a staggering
05:29 sale price of $4.5 million.

05:36 Sesto Elemento With only 20 in existence, the Sesto Elemento
05:40 is what one would call a limited edition car.
05:43 The name, which means six element in English, is a reference to the large amounts of carbon
05:48 fiber used in the creation of this vehicle.
05:51 From the body down to the suspension, this Lamborghini is almost entirely made of the
05:55 lightweight substance, meaning its weight is substantially lower than previous supercars.
06:01 This translates into the ability to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds.
06:08 When Sesto Elemento was first announced, it had a price of 2.2 million.
06:12 However, an online ad reportedly asked for 4.5 million for one of these special editions
06:17 in 2017.
06:19 The CEO Winkelmann refers to the Sesto Elemento as a technological demonstrator.
06:24 It is a design study and moves the machismo and materialism of 2007's Million Euro Revention
06:30 Special into a new space.
06:32 The Sesto Elemento consists almost entirely of carbon fiber and weighs just 999 kg.
06:38 Given that it runs on Gallardo's Superleggera's powertrain, direct injection 5.2 liter V10,
06:43 four-wheel drive, and all, this is a seriously impressive figure, a thumping 341 kg less
06:50 than the current Superleggera's dry weight.

06:58 Lamborghini Koontok Koontok is a unique car because of its shape,
07:01 angles, and scissor doors.
07:02 The first prototype debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971.
07:06 Time stopped, the world gawked, and orders flooded in.
07:10 Lamborghini Koontok was named after a workman who was making the locks for the car and was
07:15 first introduced in 1974, and it made an exclusive impression as it was one of the most bombastic
07:21 wedge-shaped supercars ever produced.
07:24 The early versions of the Lamborghini Koontok were equipped with a 3.9-liter V12 engine.
07:29 By 1982, the cubic inch displacement for the Lamborghini Koontok LP500 SV12 was 4.8 liters,
07:37 and maximum output was estimated to be 375 horsepower in the base model.
07:42 In 1985, the Lamborghini Koontok LP5000 Quattro Valvole was born.
07:47 It featured four valves per cylinder in a 5.2-liter package capable of producing 449
07:53 horsepower at 7,000 RPM.
07:56 With its enormous V12 engine, the car is able to reach speeds of up to 185 miles per hour.

08:05 The Miura
08:06 On number one, we have the most iconic Lamborghini ever, the Miura.
08:11 This supercar was responsible for the popularity of the mid-engine configuration.
08:15 It was first produced in 1966, and it lasted its production till the year 1973.
08:21 These are the major series of all times, the P400, P400S, the P400SV, the Johto prototype,
08:29 the SVJ factory upgrades roadster concept.
08:32 Regarded as one of the world's first supercars, the Miura was a pioneer in the field of high-performance
08:38 automotive manufacturing.
08:40 The stylish coupe made waves for being the first supercar to have a two-seat layout and
08:45 mid-engine design, which means that the engine rests between the rear and front axles.
08:50 This in turn gave the Miura fantastic handling and a top speed of 171 miles per hour.
08:55 However, what truly sets this car apart is its sleek rocket design.
09:00 Due to the fact that only 764 were ever built, if you ever happen to come across one, be
09:05 sure to ask if you can take it for a test drive.
09:08 If you want to own this one-of-a-kind Miura, prepare to empty your bank account.
09:12 Today, the price tag sits at $3.2 million USD.
09:17 The Italian supercar manufacturer has only been building cars since 1963, but in that
09:23 short 57-year period, its impact has exceeded that of automakers that have been around nearly
09:28 twice as long.
09:30 Lambos have just the right level of insanity so that people can actually drive them without
09:34 bits of their bodies falling off, but they still bring the staggering power and planet-shocking
09:40 looks that make your jaw slam into the ground every time one pulls up next to you at the
09:44 traffic light and makes noises.
09:47 No design is too wild, and no amount of power is too much.
09:52 If you're given a chance to own one of these beauties, which one would it be?
09:55 Would you choose the classy Lambo or the classic Lambo?
