Meet the Bulls
Lamborghinis are more than just luxury—they're raging bulls bred for speed. From early V8s to today’s electrified hypercars, they’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of performance. But which model is the fastest of them all? We’ve ranked every major Lamborghini model by verified top speed, from slowest to fastest.
Lamborghini Urraco (149 mph)
Introduced in the early 1970s, the Lamborghini Urraco offered a smaller, lighter take on the Lambo formula. Its mid-mounted V8 enabled it to reach 149 mph, giving drivers a stylish and nimble option without sacrificing speed. It sure wasn’t the fastest bull, but it was still a proper Italian stallion.
Lamborghini Jalpa (155 mph)
The Lamborghini Jalpa was a more affordable Lambo of the 1980s, aimed at opening up the brand to new buyers. Powered by a 3.5L V8, it reached a top speed of 155 mph, which was more than respectable for the era.

Lamborghini Espada (155 mph)
As a four-seater grand tourer, the Lamborghini Espada emphasized comfort and long-distance cruising. But don’t be fooled—the 3.9L V12 under the hood pushed it to 155 mph, matching many two-seater sports cars of its time.

Lamborghini 350 GT (158 mph)
Elegant, refined, and powerful—right from the start. The 350 GT was Lamborghini’s first production model—and it came out swinging. With a 3.5L V12 and a top speed of 158 mph, it announced Lamborghini as a true contender in the exotic car world.
Lamborghini Islero (161 mph)
Often overlooked, the Lamborghini Islero was a quietly powerful grand tourer of the late '60s. Its 4.0L V12 allowed it to hit 161 mph, showing that even Lamborghini’s more subdued models had serious performance. It’s an understated but important part of Lambo history.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera (202 mph)
A lighter, sharper version of the standard Gallardo, the Superleggera lived up to its name. Its 5.2L V10 and all-wheel drive setup launched it to 202 mph. With track-honed handling and a stripped-down interior, this Gallardo was built to thrill.

The Aventador SVJ (Super Veloce Jota) is the ultimate expression of the Aventador line. It features a 6.5L V12 producing 759 hp, helping it reach a top speed of 217 mph. It’s a wild, aerodynamic masterpiece with unmatched drama and presence.

The Sián FKP 37 is Lamborghini’s first hybrid production car, combining a V12 with supercapacitor tech. Its 217 mph top speed matches the Aventador and Centenario, but it paves the way for Lambo’s electric future—all without sacrificing that unmistakable roar.

Lamborghini Revuelto (217 mph)
The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s latest hybrid flagship and the spiritual successor to the Aventador. With a total of 1,001 hp from a V12 and three electric motors, it rockets to 217 mph. Though it doesn’t top the speed charts, it may be the brand’s most advanced car yet.

Lamborghini SC20 (220+ mph)
The SC20 is a one-off, roofless track weapon made by Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse division. Though precise specs are kept private, its performance is based on the Aventador SVJ, meaning it likely exceeds 220 mph. It’s a raw, custom supercar built for one lucky owner.
