Tour Lamborghini museum with Google Street View

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

If you find yourself in northern Italy with some spare time on your hands, we could think of few places better to spend it than the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata. The 16,000-square-foot facility houses what is surely the most magnificent collections of Raging Bulls in the world on two levels of glassed-in floorspace. But if your travel plans won't be taking you to Bologna, Lamborghini has teamed up with Google to provide the next best thing.

Now all you've got to do to get a closer look at the Lamborghini Museum is open another tab in your web browser and head over to Google Maps (or fire up the Google Maps app on your smartphone or tablet) to see the whole museum in Street View. There you'll find everything from production models like the Miura, Countach, Diablo and Murcielago to limited-production rarities like the Reventon and Sesto Elemento, prototypes like the Estoque and Zagato Canto, a Gallardo highway patrol car and a handful of Lamborghini-powered F1 cars, like Nicola Larini's 1991 Modena 291.

You can even get into a few of them, which the museum's curators aren't likely to let you do in person. So whether you're at home, at the office or in Sant'Agata Bolognese, it's there for you to check out on Google Street View. Short of that, you can scope out a few screen shots in the gallery above and the details in the press release below.

Founded in 1963, Automobili Lamborghini is headquartered in Sant'Agata Bolognese, in Northeastern Italy. The Lamborghini Squadra Corse, presented at the recent Frankfurt motor show, is dedicated to the new Squadra Corse motorsports department. It is the most high-performance street-legal Gallardo ever produced and celebrates the most successful model in the history of Lamborghini. With the introduction of the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster in 2013, joining the coupé presented in 2011, Lamborghini established yet another landmark in an uninterrupted series of extraordinary, exclusive super sports cars that include the 350 GT, Miura, Espada, Countach, Diablo, Murciélago, and limited series like the Reventón, Sesto Elemento, Aventador J and Veneno. The Veneno, created to celebrate 50 years of Lamborghini in 2013, was produced in only three units and sold at the record price of 3 Million euro.
