50 free Lamborghini trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Lamborghini trivia quiz covers the raging bull from Ferruccio's first tractor to today's hybrid V12. The easy questions are the ones any car fan should get: the country it comes from, the animal on the badge, the rival Ferruccio set out to beat, and the model with the famous scissor doors. Then it gets tougher: the Fiat Topolino Ferruccio crashed into a restaurant in the Mille Miglia, the clutch complaint Enzo Ferrari brushed off, the Seville bull ranch that inspired the emblem, the engineers who built the Miura in their spare time, the Piedmontese expletive that named the Countach, the owners from Chrysler to a Malaysian investment group to Audi, the first Lamborghini past 200 mph, the police Gallardos, why the Urus is named after an extinct ox, the Formula One engines that sprayed oil, and the bulls that fought in Zaragoza and Barcelona. Every answer was checked against encyclopaedia entries on Lamborghini, Ferruccio Lamborghini and the individual models before publishing, and the supporting sentence is stored with each question.
