- Welcome to car stuff, I'm Ben Bowlin.
- And I'm Scott Benjamin.
- And today we are
talking about Lamborghini.
That's right, the company founded in 1963,
by, say it with me Scott:
- Ferruccio Lamborghini.
- Ferruccio Lamborghini.
(glitch music)
- Funny story, this was not the
first company he started, was it?
- That's right, in 1948 he started out
building farm tractors of all things.
- [Ben] Yeah, and after that,
it still wasn't a car company.
He built, oil heaters?
- Oil heaters, which later
built air conditioners.
- Right, so Automobile Lamborghini, his
third company, was actually started
because he had a problem
with the Ferrari he was driving.
- That's right, he had a little bit of an
abrasive relationship with Enzo Ferrari.
He didn't much like what was going on
inside the Ferrari that he did own.
And he decided he was going to build
a refined version of
that vehicle, the GT car.
- Now, this might make Ferrucio
sound a little bit contentious.
He also had an obsession
with bull fighting,
and that is why the
emblems are raging bulls.
- That's right, and you'll find that
throughout it's history, makes and models
have been either named for
breeds of bulls, or specific bulls.
- And today we have a chance to
get an up close and personal look
at some of the rarest
Lamborghinis in town.
- That's right, they're here
so you wanna go take a look?
(glitch music)
- This is a 2015 Lamborghini Aventador,
and it's jet-inspired as you might guess.
Lots of carbon fiber on this one.
- It weighs over 3,700 pounds but,
sorry, Scott I was back
looking at the engine.
Guys, this is a six point five liter V-12,
which gives it 700 horsepower.
- That's incredible, and it gives it a
super-fast zero to 60 time.
Under three seconds.
And, not only that, it's got a top speed
that's claimed to be 217 miles per hour.
That's super fast.
- One more thing about this car, though.
This color might look
unusual to some people.
- [Scott] It is unusual.
- This is a Verde Scandal.
It's a custom color that
calls back to the Diablo.
- That's right, this is a Diablo color,
and there's only three of these
in all of North America, and only five
in the entire world,
so it's very very rare.
(glitch music)
- And after countless masterpieces,
the Lamborghini legacy
continues in the modern day.
- Thanks so for watching everybody.

- Now Ben.
- Yeah.
- Stop jumping out from
behind Lamborghinis will ya?
- I can't promise that.
