Random fact #2

The Lamborghini tradition is to name all their cars after famous bulls from the arena. However, there are two (maybe more) exceptions - the Murcielago and the Countach. While the Murcielago is named after a bull that survived 27 sword strokes before the matador let it live, it is also the Spanish word for bat. The Countach was so named when the company's boss saw the sketches his designers had come up with, and said something rude, often used to appreciate a beautiful woman. The name stuck. Lol
