Lamborghini Historical Archive - taking care of the past, today and tomorrow

Automobili Lamborghini renews its connection with its past every day, thanks to a unique collection of documents. The Archive, which factually tells the story of the company and its cars through thousands of original records, is at the core of all Lamborghini Polo Storico activities. Established in 2015, the same year as Polo Storico’s foundation, it supports restoration work, certifications, and the reconstruction of spare parts, playing a key role in preserving Lamborghini’s historical heritage. On its tenth anniversary Lamborghini Polo Storico, which continues to expand and digitize the Archive year after year, opens the doors of its collection to share its value and role with the world through a new video.

At the Sant’Agata Bolognese facility, Polo Storico holds technical drawings, original sketches, production sheets, photographs, commercial correspondence, and other materials collected since the company’s founding in 1963. The historical Archive is a vital resource for documenting the brand’s evolution and supporting the restoration, certification and research activities of Polo Storico. This wealth of documentation has often been essential in reconstructing the history and identity of Lamborghini vehicles under restoration or certification. Notable examples include the reconstruction of the Countach LP 500, the first prototype, fully recreated in 2021 using original documents, and the identification of the Miura P400 featured in the film The Italian Job, authenticated thanks to an in-depth analysis by Polo Storico experts.
