Driven by a powerful 3.9-liter V12 engine producing 350 horsepower, designed by Giotto Bizzarrini, a former Ferrari engineer, this car wasn’t just built, it was crafted to set benchmarks. 🔧 **Legacy of the Miura** 🔧 Produced from 1966-1973 with only 764 units, the Miura's rarity only amplifies its allure today, standing tall as one of the most iconic sports cars ever.

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢'𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞? 🚜➡️🏎️ In the early 1960s, Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer, was dissatisfied with his Ferrari. When he confronted Enzo Ferrari about it, Ferrari's dismissive response—telling him to stick to making tractors—sparked Lamborghini's drive to create superior sports cars. Determined to prove Ferrari wrong, Ferruccio founded Automobili Lamborghini in 1963. The brand quickly gained recognition with its first model, the 350 GT, and then made history with the revolutionary Miura in 1966. The Miura's mid-engine layout and stunning design set new standards in the automotive world. Today, Lamborghini continues to push the boundaries of luxury and performance with models like the Huracán and Aventador. From its humble beginnings in agricultural machinery to becoming a symbol of opulence and speed, Lamborghini's story is a testament to innovation, ambition, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

With the recent debut of the Lamborghini Temerario, the iconic Italian brand is advancing towards its goal of a fully hybrid lineup, bidding farewell to the Aventador and Huracan. However, Lamborghini's Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr, told Motor1 that a fully electric supercar is not on the horizon. Mohr cites the current market conditions and the lack of "excitement factor" as key reasons for this decision. Despite the success of electric hypercars like the Rimac Nevera and Pininfarina Battista, Lamborghini remains focused on delivering a visceral driving experience that EVs currently lack. While other high-end brands like Ferrari and McLaren are also exploring hybrids, Lamborghini's electric ambitions are tempered by a commitment to maintaining their trademark unhinged excitement. Until a breakthrough in electric driving emotion is achieved, Lamborghini will continue to refine its hybrid technology, exemplified by the 10,000-rpm V8 powertrain in the new Temerario. #Lamborghini #HybridSupercars #Temerario #ElectricVehicles #Supercars #AutomotiveNews #LuxuryCars #EVHesitancy #HighPerformance #CarEnthusiasts #TechNews

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. fans waiting for the brand’s first all-electric supercar might have to hold out a bit longer. While the iconic marque has hybridized its lineup, it's not rushing into the EV game for its high-performance sports cars just yet. The company’s first fully electric model, likely a grand tourer similar to the Lanzador concept, is set to drop by the end of the decade. Lamborghini is playing the long game, confident it can perfect its electrification strategy while keeping its legacy alive. So, don’t expect an electric Huracán anytime soon, but something big is still coming. Do you think Lamborghini’s slow-and-steady strategy will be a winning move in the EV race? #robbreport #luxury #automotive #cars #ev

According to media reports, Ferrari plans to introduce an annual battery subscription service for its hybrid and future all-electric vehicles. The $7,500 annual subscription service is intended to ease customer concerns of battery degradation, while also helping the vehicles maintain their resale value. The extended battery warranty service allows owners to replace their battery after 8 years, as long as there has been no earlier swap. They would also be automatically entitled to a second battery swap on the car's 16th year of ownership. Ferrari CEO, Benedetto Vigna states that along with peace of mind for its owners, the subscription service also brings in a steady stream of revenue for the brand. #carsadvisor #ferrari #ferrari458 #ferrariclub #FerrariPurosangue #carnews

TAKE FEEDBACKS HUMBLY.. The story of Lamborghini's inception is an interesting one that involves a feud between Ferruccio Lamborghini and Enzo Ferrari. Ferruccio Lamborghini was an Italian entrepreneur who initially established himself as a successful tractor manufacturer with his company Lamborghini Trattori. Lamborghini, being a sports car enthusiast, owned several high-performance vehicles, including Ferraris. The legend goes that Lamborghini approached Enzo Ferrari with concerns and suggestions about the clutch in his Ferrari. According to the story, Ferrari dismissed Lamborghini, suggesting that he stick to building tractors and leave sports cars to those who understood them better. This apparent slight motivated Lamborghini to prove Ferrari wrong and enter the sports car business. In 1963, Ferruccio Lamborghini founded Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. The company's first production car, the Lamborghini 350 GT, was introduced in 1964. Lamborghini quickly gained a reputation for producing high-performance, luxurious sports cars that rivaled Ferrari in terms of speed and style. Long affecting its market share. #ferrari #lamborghini #automotive #industry

How good does this Maserati Tipo 61 look ? 👀 Commonly known as the Maserati Birdcage, they were produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Maserati between 1959 and 1961. These cars were specifically designed for private customers who took part in sports car events, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Tipo 61 featured a tubular space frame chassis constructed from 200 chrome-moly steel tubes welded together. This formed a cage-like structure, earning it the nickname “Birdcage.” The innovative construction method resulted in a chassis that was rigid and lightweight. To comply with new Le Mans rules, which demanded a taller windscreen, Maserati recessed the windscreen base into the bodywork. The Tipo 61 was powered by a compact 2.9-liter inline-four-cylinder engine (modified from the earlier Tipo 60). Twin Weber 45 DCO3 carburetors The front-mounted engine was positioned at a 45-degree angle toward the center for optimal weight distribution. The Camoradi team raced the Tipo 61s but despite being competitive, the Birdcage faced reliability issues, leading to retirements from several races due to breakdowns. The road-legal version of the Maserati MC 12 that i posted yesterday paid tribute to the Tipo 61 and the Camoradi team, featuring a white color with blue stripes livery. The Tipo 60/61 paved the way for the Maserati Tipo 151, which utilized a more conventional tubular chassis. #Maserati #tipo #onlyinitaly #italian #Tipo61
