The 50 Best Lamborghini References In Pop Culture

Image via Complex Original

Model: LM002

The only bright spot of this otherwise bonkers film features Michael Gambon and LL Cool J choosing the Lambo truck as their vehicle of choice during an intense car chase.

Model: Countach LP 500 S

Although the Buick Roadmaster gets the most screen time in the film, the opening memorably features this Countach getting unloaded and delivered to exotic Lamborghini importer Charlie Babbit (Tom Cruise).

Model: 

Forget any issues you have with Roman Reloaded and remember this horrific would-be first single as a reminder that it could've been way worse. The song was slightly redeemed by the video, in the same way that just about every Nicki song is, for obvious reasons. Adding to the eye candy is Amber Rose, who pushes a bright Barbie-pink Murciélago while Roman rides shotgun.

Model: Unspecified

"Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue/Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis/Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis/Jealous cause I'm out getting mine/Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine."

It's only right that the first hip-hop single to top the Billboard charts features a Lamborghini reference, even if it's one as bizarre as this bar that sees Ice cruising by said scantily clad girls and over-eager to let us know that he's about that life.

Model: Diablo Roadster VT

The Diablo Roadster is the vehicle of choice for DMX in Exit Wounds, his bad-movie classic alongside Steven Seagal, in which he plays a billionaire computer expert, surely among the top roles most executives would think to cast the Dark Man for.

Models: Gallardo, Murciélago

"I got a drop on thirty's, rims so purty/Shut ya lil Gallardo down closed curtain/Ya got a Murciélago? I got a McLaren for it"

Tip tests other so-called ballers' garage G, by name-dropping and then stunting on the Gallardo and the Murciélago, easily the two most heavily referenced Lambos in rap. In essence: do better, son.

Model: Gallardo

"I feel you creepin, I can see you from my shadow/Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo?/Maybe go to my place and just kick it like Tae Bo"

The Gallardo is quite possibly the most [over] referenced Lamborghini model in rap, but Akon's Eminem assissted single was undeniable.

Model: Jalpa

The eponymous Phil is a grifter that Crockett & Tubbs may be able to use to bring down a major drug player. He gets around town in a white Jalpa; apparently the swindle business is more profitable than we thought.

Model: Unspecified

"I'm right where I wanna be/with the 'B' on my Bentley/the horse on my Lambo/crown on my Cadillac"

Game aced the emblem quiz on Sporcle.com.

Model: Gallardo LP560-4

While Rozay holds court in the Phantom, Styles P the Ghost pretend blicks at other driver's Caddy doors from the passenger seat of a crisp and clean Gallardo.

Model: Spyder

"Pass the lighter to the passenger in the Syder/Vagina splash like apple cider/so fuck your little 2 cents blue benz bitches jump like Harold Miner"

As most people in the driver's seat of a Lamborghini Spyder would, Action gives not one single fuck about your opinion, not when he's basically acting out the hook on "Mercy."

Model: Unspecified

"I am spending much more than I'm making/on these cars and these vacations, is that too much information? I just bought a Lamborghini, I'm not even into racing/with a windshield full of tickets, cause I live right by the station"

Drake is so rich he can admit to being a hypebeast and copping a random Lambo on reputation and image alone, which is cool but millions or not, letting it sit and collect parking tickets is just dumb bro. Especially since those that can afford exotic cars can usually afford garages to house them in as well.

Model: Gallardo Spyder

Julian McMahon's playboy plastic surgeon was "rewarded" with this Spyder as a gift for setting two characters up on a successful date. Would he have gotten a Diablo SV if it led to marriage?

Model: Diablo

The Devil drives a Diablo! We see what you did there guys! (But since Satan is played by none other than Elizabeth Hurley, we will gladly sit through this movie any time it's on.)

Model: Aventador

"I'm in my own lane, you ain't in my categor/You like a Rav 4; I'm like the Aventador."

The Aventador is new, shiny, and everyone's favorite, while the Rav 4 is plain and ubiquitous. They also debuted in North America around the same time a certain, Minaj-antagonistic female rapper dropped hers...

Model: Unspecified

"Can I drive your daddy's Lambo?"

Fathers, hide your daughters and lock your garages when Yeller is in your city. Wooing rich girls to get at dad's whip? Gotta get your hands on the wheel somehow.

Model: Diablo

"I do a buck forty in the rain, hydroplanin/Lamborghini Diablo, candy painted"

Ferarri 50 celebrates the profits of the drug game by changing it up with a candy-painted Diablo on this standout cut from Young Buck's debut album.

Model: Diablo

It was all good just a decade ago, when Fresh and Birdman were still balling out of control together. If you think Stunna is excessive today, peep the "Get Your Roll On" video, which features Cash Money simply doing donuts and stunts in eight different flashy cars, including this Diablo.

Model: Murciélago Roadster; Murciélago LP640

In Batman Begins the Roadster is merely a tool for Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) to flaunt his faux playboy-douchebag persona, however in Dark Knight he uses the LP640 during a daylight mission to save someone The Joker's (Heath Ledger) put a hit out on. The Batmobile Tumbler is strictly for nighttime cruising only.

Model: Diablo

"If I let this Diablo door raise/Imma have the front of your crib lookin like Diallo's doorway."

Fab is riding around in Diablos but he's still not above sending 41 shots your way if you push him.

Model: Unspecified

Lupe chooses Lamborghini's as his symbol of the materialistic rich, that to hear him tell it, we admire like angels, on this thoughtful cut from his latest album.

Model: LM002

During this epic four-parter, an amnesia incident leaves Crockett believing he's actually his undercover alias, big-time drug-dealer Burnett. As Burnett, Crockett rides around the 305 in the big boy truck befitting of a drug kingpin.

Model: Murciélago Roadster

During the climax, well-coiffed wheel-man Frank Martin takes the Roadster out of the villain's garage to pursue him. He ends up crashing it through a sign while hijacking the bad guy's private jet, causing the Murci to inexplicably...explode?

Model: Murciélago

"Baby if you was a car/I'd put your doors in the air like a Murciélago."

Slick wordplay like that is exactly why the game is missing Santana.

Model: Gallardo

"I Lambo Gallarded I am vehically challenged/That means the car is retarded."

Fab explains his own pun in case you didn't glean from the first line that the Lamborghini Gallardo is a stupid dumb cool car, bro.

Model: Diablo VT Roadster

When exposed to red Kryptonite, Clark Kent throws inhibiton to the wind and wilds the fuck out the way most men with his powers would. The third season premiere finds him gallivanting around Metropolis when he spots this Diablo in a showroom, upon which he promptly pays for with buckets of stolen cash easily ripped out of ATMs. Then he scoops the saleswoman, takes her to the club and gives the car to the doorman. Boss.

Model: 1977 Countach

In addition to the Countach, the Autobot Sideswipe later added 1997 Diablo and 2003 Gallardo to his transforming stable.

Model: Murciélago

"Show no mercy in Murcielago/Far from being the bastard that Marcy had fathered"

Jay coaches the other Carter to always go farther and stunt on everybody behind him mercilessly. His wordplay eerily foreshadows the hook to Kanye's - whom he wound up sharing the throne with instead of ceding it to Wayne - ubiquitous Lamborghini ode of this past summer.

Model: LP 500 S

Stunteriffic exotic cars were a weekly requirement of Miami Vice episodes, and this Countach is just one of several Lamborghini models to recur on the series.

Model: Aventador LP 700-4

"Mmm ain't this some shit? Pulled up in the A-V-entador/and the doors, raise up, like praise the Lord/Did the fashion show, and a tour, and a movie, and a score/This a ghetto opera, Francis Foreign Car Coppola"

By this point everyone knows what $750,00 gift Kim copped Ye for his birthday, and he shows his appreciation that she did better than a new sweater multiple times on Cruel Summer by going into the LP 700-4's specific details and specs: "Best way to describe my new whip - Yeeaeaaalmp." We couldn't have said it better ourselves. 

Model: LM002

This short-lived Dick Wolf brainchild followed the Nasty Boys, a no-nonsense Las Vegas narcotics unit (based on the actual no-nonsense, Las Vegas North Town Nasty Boys drug unit) kicking down doors and taking names, spearheaded by Benjamin Bratt. One of their main distinguishing features: their black LM002, which they confiscated and re-fitted to be their official SWAT vehicle. With badassery like that, this show could have actually been something, if allowed to live past a mid-season.

Model: Unspecified

"Lease a Lamborghini for your pussy rate/Life is just a pussy race."

This is either a fantastically phrased way for Rozay stunt on you for only leasing while he buys, OR, he leases Lambos to attract women, thus increasing his "pussy rate." Both are awesome.

Model: Murciélago

"See the future like car show floor models/Both feet in the snow so that my core follows/We don't mourn for the dead nigga, we pour bottles/Drown sorrows, ocean blue Murciélagos"

Pusha implements his notoriously lethal lyricism here with his choice of Lamborghini color. He's literally referring back to the theme of drowning sorrows, even though in the video he's being driven around in a beige one.

Model: Gallardo

"Ain't no big deal, but she keep the fridge filled/eggs scrambled, cheese grilled, cold juice, the grits kill!/Don't forget veal, Italiano, Gallardo, yeah the big wheels"

Only Killa Cam the homophone king could seamlessly name drop an Italian sports car right after talking about Italian fine veal cuts and a delicious breakfast cooked by your girl. Actually, paid for with your girl's food stamps. Gotta save up for the Gallardo somehow.

Model: Lamborgotti Fasterossa

The whole Simpsons family flock to Italy when Mr. Burns tasks Homer to acquire a car for him. Things take a left turn, when the car breaks down, and they end up in a small Tuscan village where Sideshow Bob (Kelsey Grammar) presides as mayor. The fictional car that Burns wants is an amalgam of several exotic-cars but bears the most resemblance to the Gallardo.

Model: Green Murciélago

"T-H-C, Tony the Tiger certified these flakes/Murciélago green, just scored that Ferrari/But I still got them Lamborghini dreams"

Respect Spitta's ambition - one sports car is never enough.

Model: Unspecified

"SLR or the Aston Mar'"
("Lamborghini or the Porsche with the crashin' bars")

Kiss and the Ghost implement their infamous tag-team delivery on this standout from Jada's sophomore album. In between peeling faces with AKs, Jada favors the SLR Benz or Aston Martin, while Styles is for the Lambo or the Porsche. Well, if you're going coupe, I'm going four-door!

Model: Diablo SE 30

While boosting this Diablo, Nic Cage and Angelina Jolie get their pervy voyeur on, when waiting for a copulating couple to go to the backroom so they can peel off with their car. During the wait, the peep show proves too much for the former lovers to handle and they come dangerously close to, um, christening it.

Model: Murciélago LP640

"My president is black, my Lambo's blue/and I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too."

Jeezy cemented "My President" as the de facto Democratic Party theme song of 2008 after that earworm of a hook became ubiquitous practically overnight. Jeezy switched it over to the Rolls-Royce drophead coupe, in his sequel for Barack's second term "We Done It Again." 

Model: Countach

"1985 white Lamborghini Countach. Two of 'em."

This is an ill way to start a dope bonus song that most rappers would thirst to put on the album proper. Now where's the slow-motion video with one of these for each to ride around in? And whose passenger seat is Cudi going to hop in, Ye or Jay's?

Model: Gallardo

The 2006 Gallardo is a crucial part of the mid-movie mission to kidnap and then fake arms dealer Owen Davian's (Philip Seymour Hoffman) death. We winced at the wasted beauty, along with Maggie Q, before she ultimately threw the detonator switch.

Model: Unspecified

"You never questioned when I said I/Would be a mogul before I visit 2Pac and Left-Eye/Eazy and Aaliyah when I see you we gon' test drive/a Lambo in Heaven but for now I'm on the red eye/flying back to my city cause I'll forever standby"

On the finale of Kendrick's major label debut, the Doctor gives his fallen friends a shout-out while toasting to his city. To sum: driving a Lamborghini is heavenly.

Model: Unspecified

"Paid for a Lamborghini with my ashtray."

It's near impossible to stunt harder than this. Whether he pawned the ashtray first or simply traded it for the whip, the implication is clear: if Jeezy has six-figure home accessories lying around like that, he would absolutely kill on Antiques Roadshow.

Model: Aventador LP 700-4

Before Bane (Tom Hardy) fucks up his finances and gets it repossessed, the Aventador is Bruce Wayne's (Christian Bale) choice for his grand reentrance to society. That is until Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) carjacks him for a brief joyride.

Model: Espada

This ABC '80s action series followed Lee Majors as Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man that rakes in side cash as a bounty hunter. When he wasn't in his specially customized GMC K-2500 Wideside truck, he "borrowed" stunt cars from the set to run down fugitives in, like this Espada pictured above.

Model: Murciélago

G.O.O.D. Music's ode to the Murciélago remains the best rap single of 2012, although neither Kanye, Big Sean, Pusha T nor Tity Two Necklaces mention a specific model, unless they're talking about that one that comes complete with your thirsty girlfriend in the passenger.

Model: Mythical Lamborghini Station Wagon. Or he's planning to buy this LM002 from the Sultan of Brunei.

"'I'm gettin money' is my quotation/Family man so I need the Lambo station."

Very few rappers can manage to tastefully flaunt the typical rapper lifestyle and parenthood at the same time, but Fab pulls it off effortlessly here, owning fatherhood by name-dropping the epitome of mundane suburban nuclear family cars and simultaneously making a statement that Dad will never lose his swag.

Model: Islero S

In this underrated British '70s psychological thriller, Roger Moore plays a businessman who grows increasingly paranoid when he suspects he is being stalked. A key component of the film is this Islero S, which ominously appears to follow his every move.

Model: Countach LP 400 S

Hotties Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman pushed the Countach in the cross-country race that the film revolves around, a sound choice, seeing as Barbeau's Marcie grabs the coveted first place win.

Model: Miura P400

The beautiful Miura is totalled on an Italian highway in the opening minutes of the original Michael Cain-starring Italian Job, serving as the inciting incident for his Charlie Croker to take the victim's place in the impending heist.
