However, the real stars of the show are the historic models that span the decades and show the true history of the brand.

The Silhouette - A very rare vehicle, one of only 54 ever produced (31 are known to still exist). This Silhouette was first introduced at the 1976 Geneva Auto Show, and although production was limited, it continued through 1979.

The LM 002 - The famous off-road Lambo. One of only 301 produced and 1 of only 2 Canadian editions. Manufactured from 1986 till 1992, it was a popular mode of transportation for many wealthy Arab oil barons. Since it was powered by a V12, they were probably the only ones who could afford the fuel for them!

The Countach 25th Anniversary Special Edition - The instantly recognizable Countach, and possibly the best known of all Lamborghinis.

The Diablo 30th Anniversary Special Edition - A rather special vehicle this, one of only 150 produced and 1 of only 4 in Canada.


Then of course, we have my absolute favorite Lamborghini ever, and the one that I would drive home, if I had the opportunity...

The bright canary-yellow Miura S - Honestly, my mouth dropped open when I first clapped eyes on this beauty. The Miura has been the car of my dreams since I first saw one in the film "The Italian Job". (That's of course the real one with Michael Caine, not the recent pathetic remake which was set in the USA and featured the new Mini Coopers).

The Miura S on display is one of only 140 produced, and with its bright yellow paintwork, this Bertone-designed beauty literally becomes an automotive work of art.

That's the amazing thing about this display. You see, to view one or maybe two Lamborghinis in one place is pretty exciting. To witness a room full of them literally sends palpitations throughout your body.

So if you happen to be visiting the Toronto Auto Show, take my advice and take in the Lamborghini Theatre, but be warned, you may well spend a long time in there looking like a zombie catching flies.

(And just in case you were wondering... we didn't catch those sheep. The Lamborghini was fairly swift for a tractor, but the sheep were slightly quicker!)
