Pictures of a selection of Ferrari and Lamborghini models
The 1957 Ferrari California GT Spider is one of the company’s most famous – and valuable – cars If the 1957 California is too expensive, the Ferrari California T is more affordable – though all things are relative The Ferrari 488 GTB is arguably Ferrari’s core model. Its 3.9-litre engine uses two turbochargers to help it produce 661bhp If you want a roofless 488, simply hand Ferrari an extra £20,000 over the coupe and they’ll build you one All modern Ferraris come with an automatic gearbox, making the company’s famous ‘open gated’ manual history Who said Ferraris had to be impractical? The GTC4 Lusso is a genuine four-seater with a hatchback boot If you prefer outright thrills to continent-crossing capabilities, the Ferrari F12 may be your car And if the F12 isn’t extreme enough, the F12 tdf produces 769bhp The Ferrari 250 GTO was a homologation model, meaning a road-going version was produced just so the car could meet race regs The Ferrari 330 P4 is mythically rare (a replica is pictured) and only one example is said to exist The Ferrari F40 of 1987 is one of the most significant supercars ever, and its turbocharged engine produces 472bhp Unfairly maligned when it went on sale in the 1980s, the Testarossa’s kudos is on the rise, and prices have followed suit Ferrari used its F1 expertise when designing the Enzo, building it with a carbon-fibre ‘tub’ and fitting carbon-ceramic brakes The Ferrari LaFerrari is a quintessentially modern supercar, and uses hybrid technology to produce 950bhp The Lamborghini Miura is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cars ever built The Lamborghini Huracan is the company’s cheapest car, at £155,000 – though the four-wheel drive version is more As is the convertible – Lamborghini charges around £15,000 to remove the Huracan’s roof As with the Huracan, a convertible Aventador is also available – for around £28,000 extra Despite these elevated prices, the Lamborghini story starts with a humble tractor While the Miura is undeniably stunning, it’s also known to be tricky to drive Meaning ‘wow!’ in Italian, the Countach was a famous poster pinup throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s With economy of around 11mpg (if you’re lucky) the Lamborghini LM002 is one of the least efficient cars ever made The Diablo replaced the Countach, and was the first Lamborghini to hit 200mph The Murcielago was the first car made by Lamborghini after it was acquired by Volkswagen
