Description

A sculptural presentation model in polished black lacquer of a stylized Lamborghini, the model set on a chamfered plinth and bearing the Lamborghini shield to the corner. Made specifically for presentation to their Concessionaires, this model is signed and dated by Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini from 2005–2016 and who later returned as president in 2020.

Founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, in 1963, the brand’s iconic golden Taurus logo reflected not only the founder’s birth sign, but also his fascination for bullfighting which was the result of a meeting with a world-renowned breeder of Spanish fighting bulls, Eduardo Miura, in 1962. Many of Lamborghini’s designs were named after famous fighting bulls (as well as the breeder himself) and visual comparisons have been drawn between the Taurus on the logo and the Cavallino Rampante of Ferrari. This was not accidental, as there was always seen to be a tangible rivalry between the two Italian marques.

Size: 26 x 13.5 x 6.5 in. (66 x 34 x 16.5 cm).
