A story you can touch

Books are born to convey emotions, even more so when they tell dynamic and engaging stories such as those of the great car manufacturers. Lamborghini is one of those names that, on its own, is enough to ignite the imagination. However, in an already very rich and constantly expanding publishing landscape, identifying a new and convincing interpretation is a challenge that is anything but simple. The volume “Automobili Lamborghini – Past, Present, Future” succeeds in its intent, proposing itself – from the end of 2025 also in a special edition with a box set – thanks to an original idea that expands the reader’s sensory experience: a package of great refinement, capable of satisfying not only the eye, but also the touch.

Ferruccio Lamborghini

Published by White Star and written by journalist Simonluca Pini, who has poured into it all the experiences he has had by closely following Lamborghini’s path through often exclusive events, the volume goes far beyond a simple excursus, albeit complete and precise, on the history of the brand and its models, with particular attention to aspects related to design. From the cover upholstery, made with the same technical fabric used for the seats of the Sant’Agata supercars, to the special box with a carbon-effect finish, the work aims to give the reader back the atmosphere that you breathe sitting behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, even before delving into its more than 270 pages.

All the phases of the story find space: from the adventure of the founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, through the most complex period marked by frequent changes of ownership, up to the rebirth of the 2000s, all the models, concept cars and the vision of the future, in a story enriched by interviews with Stephan Winkelmann and other key men. Finally, there is no lack of attention to electrification and programs for the present and the next decade, accompanied by photographs and splendid sketches that restore the purest essence of the dream at the base of every project, series and non-series. To complete the volume, a poster dedicated to the style models of the Temerario.
