This is less of a buyer's guide and more of a complete model review of everything put out by Lamborghini. It does contain some production figure information and engine variations, but not enough to turn this into a true buyer's guide. What it does do is provide lots of pictures (B&W only) and a very short description of each model. Organiztion is rough, with some important details hidden amongst prose. With over a dozen models from Lamborghini, a single book attempting to cover them all only does a mediocre job

An adequate overview of the marque, but the model descriptions are fairly lightweight and there's next to no analysis of problems to expect or things buyers should look for. If you're going to hunt down an out-of-print Lambo book, better to spend your time looking for the "Complete Book of Lamborghini" by Pete Lyons, which has lots more info and better pictures, too!

A good resource for info on the earlier Lambos, but was purchased based on Olsen's review which clearly states that it covers the history including the Diablo model, which it clearly does not.

What it does cover makes for a reasonable primer on early Lambos.

This is just one of those books that any Lamborghini enthusiast should have. It covers the complete history as well as today's Diablo. For those interested in the history of Lamborghini, the author has included several pieces of information that would otherwise be unknown and several pictures that have never been publicly published outside of this book of prototype cars and concept cars.

Keep in mind that the book is not intended as a complete history or in depth detail on each car, but simply a reference guide to the many models that Lamborghini has made through the years.

I actually have 3 copies, each one as they come out to include updates. I am sure a newer version will be out soon to include such models as the Diablo GT, the 6.0, the 6.0 SE, and now the Murcielago.
