Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
|
| The world of bullfighting is a key part of Lamborghini's identity. In 1962 Ferruccio Lamborghini visited the Seville ranch of Don Eduardo Miura, a renowned breeder of Spanish fighting bulls. Lamborghini, a Taurus himself, was so impressed by the majestic Miura animals that he decided to adopt a raging bull as the emblem.
After producing two cars with alphanumeric designations, Lamborghini once again turned to the bull breeder for inspiration. Don Eduardo was filled with pride when he learned that Ferruccio had named a car after his family and their line of bulls; the fourth Miura to be produced was unveiled to him at his ranch in Seville. The Spanish word Gallardo (Spanish pronunciation: [ga'yarðo]) translates into "gallant" and from Italian into "striking".
