Automobili Lamborghini Holding S.p.A.

Sant'Agata Bolognese, Bologna Italy

 

Company Description

Famous for making cars as sleek as they are impossibly expensive, Automobili Lamborghini (a subsidiary of Volkswagen's AUDI unit) caters to the elite consumer. For a mere $300,000, you can buy one of the 400 or so Lamborghini Murciélagos manufactured each year. Tired of poor acceleration? With a top speed of more than 200 mph, the Murciélago's 6.5-liter, 12-cylinder power plant (which delivers 630 horsepower -- more than five Toyota Corollas or two Ford V-8s) can rocket you from zero to 60 mph in less than four seconds. But don't burn too much rubber -- the Murciélago's Pirelli tires cost more than $600 each.
