With just over half a decade in existence, the Italian automaker Lamborghini is one of the most successful vehicle manufacturers in the world. But which Lamborghinis are the most special in history? 

If you're crazy about racing cars, get ready to discover some models. Below, we'll tell you a little more about the brand and list 10 incredible Lamborghini models! 

Legend has it that Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful car manufacturer in the city of Sant'Agata, in the Bologna region, owned a Ferrari, as did many other successful Italian businessmen. 

It was during a review of his car that Ferruccio Lamborghini was able to take a closer look at the mechanics used by the Prancing Horse factory and criticized them harshly. 

From that point on, Ferruccio decided he would be Enzo Ferrari's rival and thus created Lamborghini. With parents who were bull breeders and himself being a Taurus, the brand's logo always prominently featured the animal. 

Furthermore, when he started manufacturing the racing cars, Ferruccio decided to name them after historic bulls, making them even more distinctive for the time.

And so Lamborghini was born, a rival to Ferrari and other manufacturers like Maserati to this day. 

Currently, all we car enthusiasts can do is thank the passionate nature of the Italians for producing beautiful and fast machines, known as some of the best cars ever. 

Let's start our list with this model, a true classic from the Italian brand. One of the manufacturer's most beautiful cars, the Miura was one of Lamborghini's most important models.

In other words, it is one of the most significant vehicles in the history of motoring, as it was the first mass-produced supercar to have a centrally mounted engine. 

This feature was unique and exclusive to models used in motor racing competitions. Therefore, Lamborghini proved that installing the engine in a central position would result in better weight distribution between the axles.

In turn, this allowed for substantial performance gains. Thus, it's no shame to say that the Miura served as the basis for many modern-era sports car models.

That's because virtually all of them have that configuration nowadays. The Lamborghini Miura is a legend among the manufacturer's models. Remaining examples today are in the €800,000 range. 

Here we have a controversy surrounding what are considered the most special Lamborghinis in history. This is because the LM002 is said to be one of the ugliest models from the manufacturer.

However, it is an important milestone, after all it was the first high-performance SUV ever produced. And this was long before SUVs became as desirable as they are today. 

The Lamborghini LM002 was designed to be a military vehicle. However, the prototype never went into production, and the brand ended up reusing the design and installing a powerful V12 under its hood. 

At the time, the model was not well received and therefore was not well accepted. As a result, only 301 units were produced, making it both rare and exotic. Today, it is possible to buy one for around €300,000.

The Lamborghini Countach was very successful in the 1980s and was the dream car of children, teenagers, and millionaires of the time. Initially, the design was full of straight lines and sharp angles, which was not aesthetically pleasing.

However, aerodynamics quickly gained more importance in the automotive world, and the Countach transformed into a car with cutting-edge technology. 

In fact, this was one of the models that was in production for a long period of time. To celebrate its success, a 25th-anniversary commemorative version was released in the 1990s. 

Thus, without a doubt, this model is one of the most special Lamborghinis in history. And you know what's the best part? It can be yours for the mere sum of €200,000. 

Like the Countach, the Diablo was another supercar considered a benchmark in sports performance in the 1990s. The Italian brand, in fact, took the recipe for success and applied a touch of linear smoothness to the extremities. 

The model gained a 5.7L V12 engine, and after the Diablo's launch, the brand established itself as a sports car manufacturer to be reckoned with. This was because no one remained indifferent when they saw or heard one of these models driving down the street. 

Unlike the other Lamborghinis we've shown so far, the Diablo is a bit cheaper. The few examples available for sale cost around €150,000.

Although many people don't know it, in 1998 Lamborghini was bought by Volkswagen, which then began using the automaker's technology in some cars from its subsidiary Audi.

This merger allowed Lamborghini to maintain the characteristic and distinctive design of any model, but to add the expertise of German engineering to its cars, making them even more reliable, practical, and functional. 

Thus, at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the Italian automaker launched a new version of the Murcielago, also known as the SV. 

The model gained a new 6.5L V12 engine and had a rear spoiler added to differentiate its image from the conventional Murcielago. In this way, it made history and is celebrated to this day. 

The Lamborghini Murcielago SV today costs around €550,000. That is, practically double the price it cost when sold brand new.

The Reventón is without a doubt one of the most exotic supercars ever produced and certainly one of the most special Lamborghinis in history. 

After merging with Volkswagen/Audi, the Italian brand wanted to build a model that was unique, showcasing its roots and the direction it intended to take. This was the formula for creating the Reventón. 

The car is inspired by military aviation, more specifically the F-22 fighter jet. The Reventón has a 631-horsepower V12 engine and was produced in only 20 units: 10 with a fixed coupe-style roof and 10 convertibles. 

Today, each of these rare specimens is valued in the range of €2 million.

The Aventador S emerged as the successor to the Murcielago, but keen observers will notice that its inspiration came from the Reventón. The Aventador is currently one of the most sought-after supercars on the market.

As a result, it is one of the best-selling cars in the world, and is even one of the vehicles used by the Dubai Police. The model first appeared in 2011, but was the target of criticism.

This was due to its uncomfortable and impractical riding position. Furthermore, there were criticisms of the gearbox, which was slow and gave passengers "kicks" in the head whenever a gear was engaged. 

Thus, in 2017 Lamborghini produced an S version with improvements that included the driving position and a completely revised gearbox. This made the model much smoother and more practical for everyday use.

The Aventador S today has a 700-horsepower V12 engine under the hood that reaches 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds. To have one in your garage, you need to shell out €400,000. 

The Lamborghini Veneno is an extremely rare and exclusive model; after all, only 4 units were manufactured. One gray one for the brand's museum, one green, one white, and one red, representing the colors of the Italian flag. 

However, something important to mention about the Lamborghini Veneno is that it lacks comfort. This is because everything about it is geared towards optimizing performance on the track.

For example, the model features magnesium and carbon fiber throughout its structure. Under the hood is the same engine used in the Aventador, but with an additional 40 horsepower.

Today, all examples have owners and were purchased for €3.5 million. Therefore, it was inevitable that this one would make the list of the most special Lamborghinis in history, right?

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is named after the sixth element on the periodic table, carbon, a material that is prominently featured in the model, from the chassis and wheels to the seats and steering wheel. 

Under the hood, the model boasts a powerful 5.2-liter V10 engine with 580 horsepower. This allows the Sesto Elemento to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. 

Its production was limited to just 20 units, so its value is estimated at €3 million. 

And to round out our list of the most special Lamborghinis in history, we have the Centenario model: the most powerful car ever produced by the Italian brand.

Entirely sculpted from carbon fiber, it was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of none other than Ferruccio Lamborghini – the founder of the Italian brand. 

The Centenario features a naturally aspirated V12 engine capable of producing 770 horsepower. Furthermore, it can reach 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and achieve a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. 

In total, only 40 copies went to market at a price of €2.8 million. And, according to our experts, it is likely that this value will double within a few years. 

Supercars capture the imagination of car enthusiasts. Who hasn't imagined themselves driving a Lamborghini, especially one of the most special models in history? 

Something interesting to mention about the brand is that, unlike other car manufacturers, it's possible to visit its museum entirely virtually. 

This is a great opportunity to see rare and exotic examples. To visit the museum virtually, simply go to the official Lamborghini website and click on "Museum".
