Stroll through iconic classics and oddball rarities in Lamborghini’s museum with us

By Ronan Glon Published July 26, 2016

The official Lamborghini museum is a must-see for enthusiasts who want to learn more about the company’s rich heritage. And don’t let the Raging Bull’s relatively small size fool you, it’s done a lot over the past five decades. For example, did you know Lamborghini designed a luxurious, V12-powered SUV decades before super-off-roaders became popular?

Digital Trends recently wandered through the building, drooling over the vintage awesomeness and searching out the most stunning finds. We’ve picked out ten stand-out cars in the Lamborghini museum to whet your appetite, but we suggest you trek out to Italy and check it out for yourself. Recently renovated, the museum is located in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, right next to the company’s factory.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.

EV drivers are not going back to gas cars, global survey says

Nearly all current owners of electric vehicles (EVs) are either satisfied or very satisfied with the experience, and 92% of them plan to buy another EV, according to a survey by the Global EV Drivers Alliance.

The survey of 23,000 EV drivers worldwide found that only 1% would return to a petrol or diesel car, while 4% would opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) if they had to replace their car.

Trump team in sync with Tesla on ending crash-reporting requirements, report says

The transition team of President-elect Donald Trump is planning to end existing car-crash reporting requirements to safety regulators, according to a Reuters report.

The report cites a document obtained by Reuters that lays out the transition team’s 100-day strategy for automotive policy. In the document, the team says the crash-reporting requirement leads to “excessive” data collection, Reuters says.
