Product Description
Review
What the book does so well is to provide stunning photography of Lambourghini's most recent models...thanks to the camera skills of Peter Vann --Classic Car Mart
Product Description
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 Murcielago 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 Murcielago, Gallardo, Murcielago 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.

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book on a whim after seeing a quick review when logging in to hotmail one morning. The review basically said "brilliant, and a I a mean brilliant, photography". So here is me contemplating a Gallardo after winning my case against Ferrari, and bought the book just to see how good the pics really were. RESULT: Sure enough yes, the book is full of superb photography, including some of the older classics from the early days, and the superb concept cars over the years, but there's lots and lots (did I say lots ?) on the Murcielago and Gallardo. There's even a series of photos staged at the Muira ranch, who's bulls gave their name to the most famous Lamborghini ever. For me this book was money well spent. But if you are after a properly written treatise on Ferruccio the man, or lots of precision road tests, then don't buy this as there are none, and only the vaguest references to a each cars top speed and engine power. Besides, anyone wanting even an `entry level' Lambo cant quibble the performance on offer as they have no competition in my view and you really don't need to know if they are too slow etc. But from photographic point of view the book is excellent.

Great coffee table book for a great price
13 Mar 2007
Format: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.
