Now in its 27th year, Essen's Techno-Classica attracts auto enthusiasts from around the globe, and for 2015, Sant'Agata is bringing some serious hardware to the party. It's interesting to note that prior to the Gallardo—of which over 14,000 were produced—vehicles bearing the Raging Bull logo were exceptionally uncommon. But even in the heady world of rare Lamborghinis, each of the cars slated to be on site is a mythical beast. So the opportunity to see them share the stage?
