Life Outside the Automotive Box: the 12 Best Lamborghini Models Ever

By

The Lamborghini we all know and love is a symbol of power, success, and extravagance. Loud, wild, and distinctly Italian, today’s Lamborghini supercars can draw a crowd in an instant and maintain the attention of even the most distracted teenagers.

But Lamborghini wasn’t always about flash. The automaker’s humble origins and initial creations were both simple and beautiful. Feruccio Lamborghini, a mechanic during WWII, built his empire to rival Enzo Ferrari, and the battle between these storied brands has waged for decades.

F1 2024 Lenovo Sao Paulo Grand Prix preview: the outcomes are crucial
Autofromo Jose Carlos Pace also called Interlagos is the trac used for the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

The F1 Lenovo Sao Paulo Grand Prix, held November 1 to 3 at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, promises to be a critical race because of the active competitions between Formula 1 teams and drivers for the World Constructors' and Drivers' Championships. The race track, commonly called Interlagos, has two DRS zones with lengthy straightaways, which allow cars to reach exceptionally high speeds.
Why the Sao Paulo Grand Prix matters so much

This weekend's Grand Prix is the third of three races in the Americas with no breaks. After Sao Paulo, only three races are left in the 2024 season. The Sao Paulo Grand Prix also includes a Sprint race, which means up to eight extra Championship points are winnable with the Saturday race before Sunday's Grand Prix.

In the last several years, Cadillac has gone to great lengths to expand its lineup to include plenty of luxury-level players to combat the likes of Mercedes-Benz and BMW on every market level. GM's top-tier division has just announced it will debut the first EV-V in its history, dubbed the Lyriq-V.

Until now, the V-Series has been represented by some of the most potent gas-powered engines in the General Motors stockpile of powerplants.
