46 free Lamborghini trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
This Lamborghini trivia quiz covers the raging bull from Ferruccio's first tractor to today's hybrid V12. The easy questions are the ones any car fan should get: the country it comes from, the animal on the badge, the rival Ferruccio set out to beat, and the model with the famous scissor doors. Then it gets tougher: the Fiat Topolino Ferruccio crashed into a restaurant in the Mille Miglia, the clutch complaint Enzo Ferrari brushed off, the Seville bull ranch that inspired the emblem, the engineers who built the Miura in their spare time, the Piedmontese expletive that named the Countach, the owners from Chrysler to a Malaysian investment group to Audi, the first Lamborghini past 200 mph, the police Gallardos, why the Urus is named after an extinct ox, the Formula One engines that sprayed oil, and the bulls that fought in Zaragoza and Barcelona. Every answer was checked against encyclopaedia entries on Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini and the individual models before publishing, and the supporting sentence is stored with each question.

Surplus military vehicles
Surplus military vehicles were being sold off after the war, so he bought them up and reused their engines and differentials in his own machines.
Q 05In which 2013 film does the drugged hero wreck his white Countach on the drive home?

The Wolf of Wall Street has Jordan Belfort struggle home in his Countach as long-delayed sedatives kick in; the next day he is told the car is a wreck.
Q 06In Ferruccio's telling, which part of his own Ferraris kept failing, prompting a complaint Enzo brushed off?
The clutches
The clutches on his Ferrari 250 GTs kept needing rebuilds at Maranello; brushed aside by Enzo, he resolved, by his own account, to build a better car himself.
Q 07Don Eduardo Miura, the breeder of fighting bulls whose ranch Ferruccio visited in 1962, was based near which Spanish city?
Seville
Seville is where the fourth Miura built was later taken to be unveiled to Don Eduardo, proud that a car carried the name of his family's bulls.
Q 08Which two-seater, bodied by Touring of Milan, was Lamborghini's first production car?
350 GT
The 350 GT of 1964 turned the firm's show prototype into a practical car, and Lamborghini sold the early ones at a loss to keep prices level with Ferrari's.
Q 09Which small British car inspired the Miura's trick of casting engine and gearbox as one unit?
Mini
The Mini showed the way: Lamborghini's engineers cast the Miura's V12 and gearbox as a single unit sharing one oil supply, mounted sideways behind the seats.
Q 10Ferruccio opposed his engineers' spare-time Miura project because he preferred which kind of car?
Sedate grand tourers
Sedate grand tourers were his ideal, 'conventional but perfect'; he still let the Miura go ahead, reckoning it would at least be a useful marketing tool.
Q 11Which designer's sleek styling of the Miura made his reputation at the 1966 Geneva show?
Marcello Gandini
Marcello Gandini had only just replaced Giorgetto Giugiaro as his studio's chief designer when he drew the Miura, from first sketch to prototype, in a matter of months.
Q 12The Miura won worldwide attention in the first scene of which 1969 film?

Piedmontese
Q 21Between its American owner and Volkswagen, Lamborghini belonged to a group led by the son of which country's president?

Audi
Audi was handed control when Volkswagen bought Lamborghini in 1998; its investment brought new model lines and far higher output.
Q 23Which mid-engined BMW began as a Lamborghini development contract that fell behind schedule in the 1970s?
The BMW M1
The BMW M1 was to be built by Lamborghini, but its 1978 cash crisis made BMW take the project in-house, with Baur assembling the Giugiaro-bodied cars from late 1978.
Piedmontese 'contacc' is a cry of astonishment; by the designer's account a workshop hand who spoke little else kept saying it, and it stuck as the car's name.
Q 14Which design house, pioneer of the sharply angled wedge shape, styled the Countach?
Bertone
Bertone built the LP500 prototype shown at Geneva in 1971; the one-off was later destroyed in a crash test to win the production car its type approval.
Q 15What distinctive type of door did the Countach introduce to Lamborghini's road cars?
Scissor doors
Scissor doors were first drawn for a 1968 Alfa Romeo concept with dire rear visibility: the driver could lift a door and lean out to see while reversing.
Q 16What does the 'LP' in Lamborghini designations such as LP400 stand for?
Longitudinale posteriore
LP stands for 'longitudinale posteriore', Italian for longitudinal rear: the V12 sits lengthwise behind the cabin, unlike the Miura's transverse layout.
Q 17Which future supercar maker restyled the 25th Anniversary Countach of 1988?

Q 19What did 'VT' stand for on the 1993 all-wheel-drive version of Lamborghini's V12 flagship?
Viscous Traction
Viscous Traction: a viscous coupling could send up to 25% of torque to the front wheels when the rears slipped, making this Lamborghini's first all-wheel-drive sports car.
Q 20Which American carmaker bought Lamborghini in 1987 and had its next flagship's styling softened in Detroit?
Chrysler
Chrysler's managers found the Italian design too aggressive and had their Detroit studio smooth it; the designer later built his original shape as the Cizeta V16T.
Q 24Which driver's third place for Larrousse at the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix was Lamborghini's best F1 result?

Q 28Which organisation received two Gallardos in 2004, later using them to transport organs?
The Italian State Police

Q 29Which Lamborghini flagship, launched in 2011, is named after a bull that fought in Zaragoza in 1993?
Aventador
Aventador was a noted fighting bull; the car brought Lamborghini's first clean-sheet V12, replacing an engine family that went back to the very first model.
Q 30The Lamborghini Urus is named after which animal?
The aurochs
The aurochs, also called the urus, was the wild ancestor of domestic cattle and died out in 1627; this time the name honours a wild ox, not a bull of the ring.
