Lamborghini, Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.  The Gallardo is the best selling Lamboghini to date with over 14,000 sold from 2003 to 2013.   It is of course a mid-engined sports car with rear wheel drive. There were many different variants over the ten years of production with the second generation appearing in 2008. The Super Trofeo was a racing version of the second generation Gallardo and was initially designed for a Blancpain one make series from 2009. The series continues today and there have been a number of changes to these cars over the years. They have powerful 5.2 litre V10 engines. The car above is a regular in the Championnat de France de la Montagne and competes in the GTTS class which includes GT cars from one-make championships, silhouettes and World Rally Championship cars.

Lamborghini, Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.   The famous bodywork of the Muira was created by Bertone.  It had a 4 litre V12 Lamborghini engine mounted behind the driver.  This was the first Lamborghini to rival if not beat the Ferraris of the time in terms of desirability.  It had an over 170 mph top speed and a 0-60mph time of under 6.5 seconds, making it outstandingly quick for its day.
