If you are a Lambo enthusiast you will never get enough of the popular movies featuring Lamborghinis. Let’s go through famous Lamborghini models featured in films.
List of Famous Films Featuring Lamborghinis
Lamborghinis are impressive supercars used by a number of movie makers to make the action-packed, car-chase scenes more attractive. Following is a list of popular films featuring Lamborghinis:
Movies Featuring Lamborghinis: Furious 7
The Fast and the Furious movie series has featured a number of speedsters. The popularity of all the parts of this car movie franchise goes to show just how many car enthusiasts are present in the world and how much they enjoy watching their favourite car models on the big screen. Among other famous cars featured in fast and furious, Lamborghini is a prominent name.
The seventh instalment of Fast and the Furious, titled Furious 7, released in 2015 features a sleek and stealthy black 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. In the movie, you will see the villain’s character (Jason Statham) drive Lamborghini’s flagship model aggressively.
Movies Featuring Lamborghinis: The Wolves of Wall Street
Another popular film featuring Lamborghinis is The Wolf of Wallstreet. The movie released in 2013 features a white 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP500 QV. This was a special 25th anniversary edition.
In the movie, Joran Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) can be seen entering his Lamborghini in a rush to a country club after consuming a high dose of drugs.
Movies Featuring Lamborghinis: The Transporter 2
While the Lambo featured in Transporter 2 only had a screen time of 3 minutes, the impact it made on the audience was huge! In the movie, Jason Statham’s character can be seen driving a 2004 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster.
The Lamborghini featured in this film was the clear star of the show. In the movie, you can see the Italian bull driven by Jason Statham bypassing a toll gate to get onto the Rickenbacker Causeway bridge by driving under it. Chasing his target, Statham’s character ends up racing the sleek black Murcielago Roadster against a Gulfstream jet as he grabs onto the nose gear just as the plane takes off. Ultimately, the Roadster crashes into a signboard and ends up in flames.
Nevertheless, the Lamborghini featured in the movie from the beginning till its end makes a memorable appearance.
Movies Featuring Lamborghinis: The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight released in 2008 features a 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
Did you know that when Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan visited the Lambo HeadQuarters in Italy and asked if they could get the car for a chase scene in the movie, Lamborghini loved the idea of Bruce Wayne driving a Lambo so much that they delivered three identical looking LP640’s. These were built especially for the movie.
LP640’s are known for their scissor doors, one of unique car door designs.
One of the Murcielago LP640s was driven by vehicular stunt specialists in the movie shots where the Lambo can be seen weaving in and out of traffic. The second car driven by Christian Bale was fitted with a number of digital cameras. Bale can be seen driving the Lambo perfectly in character.
At the end of the car chase sequence, the Murcielago LP640 that crashed was in fact a real LP640 getting crashed! That said, the car featured in the movie left such an impact that Lamborghini reportedly received a jump in orders for many of the Murcielago’s different models after the movie’s release. Moreover, the crashed Murcielago was sold to a private owner who collects film memorabilia. Suffice to say, in the end, it all worked out for Lamborghini!
Movies Featuring Lamborghinis: Dumb and Dumber
The comedy movie released in 1994 featured a 1993 Lamborghini Diablo. Back in the 90s, no one was expecting a Lamborghini in a movie about two comical characters.
That said, a red Lamborghini Diablo made a brief cameo in the movie. Over the passage of time, the movie gained quite a following and it was remade after 20 years.
But for the fans of the movie, what first grabbed their attention was the classic Lamborghini Diablo’s appearance in the movie.
Movies Featuring Lamborghinis: The Italian Job
Thanks to amazing cars and car-chase scenes, The Italian Job released in 1969 is a favourite movie for cat enthusiasts. The car also featured a beautiful 1968 Lamborghini Miura. The Lambo in the movie carried a chassis#3856.
The Miura #3586 made a cameo in the opening scene of the blockbuster movie. In the opening scene of this classic, Rossano Brazzi drives the Miura through the Great St. Bernard pass between Switzerland and Italy.
Eventually, the Lamborghini Miura crashes colliding with a bulldozer placed by the mafia, however, in real life, the car was restored by Lamborghini’s Polo Storico heritage department.
