The Top 10 Lambos 5 decades on...

It seems that the number 50 is the magic number of the year 2013. Not only BBC's sci-fi show Doctor Who is celebrating its 50th year but an Italian supercar maker, Lamborghini, is celebrating its 50th year. This month marks a big one for the Raging Bull because there has been a tour to Italy featuring a bunch of Lamborghini supercars, past and present, and this is as thrilling as a bull run in Spain.

Founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini, who shares his passion to create one of the world's most beautiful and powerful supercars at Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy's Emilia Romagna region, Lamborghini is a brand that wants to achieve the impossible and combine breathtaking design, powerful performance, and intelligent technology all in one unique signature.

With 5 decades pass, there has been so many great Lambos out there, especially the 350GT, the Miura, Countach, LM002 SUV, and today's Gallardo and Aventador.

Here is the list of the best 10 Lambos from past to present 50 years on. When I said best, it's based on every enthusiasts' tastes.

10) Jalpa - Long before the Gallardo, Lamborghini made a baby Lambo to supplant below the Countach. The Jalpa was powered by a 3.5L V8 engine mounted in the middle and it produces 255HP of power and achieves a top speed of over 148mph according to Automobil Revue. Rarity is assumed because 410 units were made and where do you find one of these? It's difficult and complicated to find a Lamborghini Jalpa in these times...

9) LM002 - You were shocked to noticed that Lamborghini once made a V12 SUV in the past. The LM002 gained the nickname "Lambo Rambo" because this combines the ruggedness of an SUV and the power of the Lamborghini in one eccentric package. This is also very rare because there were about 300 units made and if you find one of these, then you just got lucky...

8) Veneno - Unveiled in this year's Geneva Auto Show and as one of Lamborghini's 50th anniversary blowouts, the Veneno looks more like Ridge Racer's devil car but underneath, it's an Aventador with some added tweaks on it. Three out of three wealthy men payed a million euros just to drive the craziest Lamborghini ever made.

7) Gallardo - It maybe the final year for the Gallardo but this baby Lambo with a 5.2L V10 engine in the middle sure has a bucket list to fulfill. Although it might lack the punch from flagship Lambos, the Gallardo, the baby Lambo, sure wants to act wild on the open roads. There's also the Superleggera version which employs some lightweight fun for the Gallardo but the turning point was the manual gearbox-equipped, rear-wheel drive, Gallardo LP550-2 Balboni which was named after the master test driver of Lamborghini, Valentino Balboni.

6) Reventon - Although it took some styling inspiration from a fighter jet, the Reventon is also one of the rarest Lamborghinis ever made, and also the most expensive because it costs about 1.5 million euros and up to 20 units produced. There's also a Roadster version as well...

5) Diablo - Living up to its name, the Diablo is one devilishly fast Lambo that ruled the 90's and this one's a head-turner on the streets. It became the bedroom wall pin-up for the young boys who had dreams of having one of these when they grow up and it was made for the priviledged few who wants to show its pride among the rest. Once the V12 engine roars it, you'd better be awake because the Diablo is not a car...it's an A-bomb waiting to explode without warning.

4) Murcielago - One of the most prolific Lamborghinis ever made in the to rule the so-called noughties, the Murcielago is now just an Italian supercar with some German common sense ever since Audi took over Lamborghini and they do the mechs for them. One of the best Murcielagos ever made was the final edition called the LP670-4 SV because although it maybe the last Murcielago ever made, it's also one of the quickest Lamborghinis ever made. It's as fast as an Enzo Ferrari at the Top Gear Test Track!

3) Miura - The genesis of the supercar begins with the Lamborghini Miura, the car that brought the word "supercar" in the first place because it was made to combine good looks and raw power. Thing is though, it wasn't really a project name but as told that there were seven people involved in the development of the Miura. One of them was Marcello Gandini, the then-chief designer of Bertone.

Anyway, the V12 engine that powers the Miura develops 345HP of power and 271.2lb-ft of torque. It was placed in the middle sideways rather than lenghtways to keep it compact, just so you know. Surprising fact that when the Miura's doors are opened, you will noticed that the doors were shaped to look like the horns of a bull.

2) Countach - In the midst of the energy crisis on the 70's, the Lamborghini Countach was born to replace the legendary Miura supercar and this is the first ever Lamborghini to adopt the trademark scissor doors, which became the hallmark of Lamborghini flagships. Style-wise, the Countach is

1) Aventador - With the Murcielago gone in 2010, a new heir steps in a year later. When the Aventador made a premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, this car received huge attention from the crowds and get this, a year's supply of this car sold out minutes during its announcement. I know, we heard about that blah blah blah but the Aventador keeps on growing to be one of the most successful Lamborghini models ever made and for 2013, a new Roadster model was introduced for open top fun.

No wonder the Aventador is definitely a fan-favorite Lambo because of its looks, the new V12 engine, the gifted handling, and the talent that no other supercar comes close.

With the Aventador, Lamborghini knows what its doing and has done for over 50 years. So, that does it then, happy 50th anniversary Lamborghini!
