Book Description

November 15, 2006

Lamborghinis are true exotics, rarely seen in public, yet admired and coveted by sports car enthusiasts everywhere. In many ways they define the word "supercar." This is particularly true today, when the Murciélago and Gallardo have taken Lamborghini to the heights once reached with the Miura and LP400 Countach.

 

Lamborghini Today: A Tempo Furioso focuses on the Italian company’s newest superstars, chronicling the design, engineering, production, and performance of the Murciélago, Gallardo, Murciélago Roadster, and Gallardo Roadster, and showcasing each in dazzling photographs by top automotive cameraman Peter Vann. The book ranges from sites in France and Spain to the Lamborghini factory in St. Agata Bolognese, treating readers to a visit with Lamborghini model maker Egidio Reali and a look at Lamborghini's design evolution—featuring key prototype vehicles—with Luc Donckerwolke, head of Lamborghini Design.

Lamborghini is once again on a roll—at a dizzying speed. Lamborghini Today takes you along for the ride.

Review

Auto Aficionado, January/February 2007

“This is not the usual marque history book, although it does give enough of the background to satisfy … It also happens to be a beautifully created book at a surprisingly reasonable price.”

Evening Standard News (UK), Nov. 24, 2006

“Impeccably captures the ethos of the ‘new kid on the block’ and ably recounts both the marque’s remarkable growing pains and successes … Pick it up, open at any page and marvel at the superb quality and stunning photographs.”

From the Inside Flap

Lamborghini Today: A Tempo Furioso tells how a noble and revered Italian brand is forging its way into the future under the ownership of Audi AG. With strong support from Lamborghini itself, Stephan Grühsem and Peter Vann devoted more than two years of research to this book. The two were allowed unrestricted access to all of Lamborghini’s departments, where they held detailed discussions with engineers, designers, and production and management staff.
Additionally, Grühsem and Vann enjoyed the inestimable pleasure of driving each new Lamborghini. They even took a Murciélago to Andalusia, Spain, to see for themselves where the celebrated Miura fighting bulls are bred. The results of their labors speak for themselves: fascinating photos and emotive writing that bring Lamborghini to life in all its facets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book for a great price, March 13, 2007

This review is from: Lamborghini Today: A Tempo Furioso (Hardcover)
This book is a nice addition to my collection of Lamborghini books. It contains beautiful pictures of many of the later Lamborghinis (Gallardo, Murcielago) on black paper. You will not learn a whole lot, but it is nice to look at and could function nicely as a coffee table book. Hence the four stars.
