Lamborghini: Miura Coutach Diablo Murcielago (Haynes Great Cars) April 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
An enjoyable book with good photography and gives a decent, albiet brief rundown on the various incarnations of each model. I would have liked to see a little more information on the Muira Jota, which was briefly mentioned.
For in depth detail on each car, this book is not the greatest, but for a general overview, plus all performance statistics, it does the job nicely. It is well written and keeps the reader engaged. A decent addition to an automobile library.

I have several Lamborghini books and am a Lamborghini owner. I was really excited about this book. I got it for Christmas and just finished reading it.
The Good = The photos are amazing! I think the photos in this book are better than any other Lamborghini Book I have seen. A nice touch is that many of the car photos are touched up and appear on white without a background (like the cover). I liked this because you can really focus on the car. The book is also very well written. There is a lot of history and detail about the cars performance, construction, and people involved. There was also a lot of information about all of the cars from the factory. This book was a good general Lamborghini book with much information and history.
The Bad = I was expecting this to be the definitive book about the Lamborghini flagships, the Miura, Countach, Diablo and Mercielago. It was more of a general overview than I expected and a lot like my other books. Almost every car produced by Lamborghini had a few paragraphs about it. There was also history and information about the people at Lamborghini. The Miura, Countach, Diablo and Mecielago are covered little more than in any other book on the subject. This book is very very similar to Lamborghini: Supercars from Sant'Agata (Haynes Classic Makes) Both books have the same publisher and cover most of the same information. This book gives a lot of info on Lamborghini kit cars.
Conclusion = This is an excellent Lamborghini book and a fine addition to any Lamborghini book collection. If you are expecting something unique, new, and dedicated to the Miura, Countach, Diablo and Mercialago, you will probably be a little disappointed.
