"AFAIK, the Lamborghini cars are named from bulls. Miura, Countach, Urraco, Gallardo, Murcielago, Huracán, Asterion, those all are bulls. This would explain also why most of these names are (or at least sound as) spanish, as the Bullfights are spanish, also. Oh, and the symbol of Lamborghini is also a bull. So..."

Countach, Urraco and Asterion aren't specifically bulls. Countach was a piedmontese dialect used by men as an exclamation of astonishment when seeing an attractive woman, Urraco is a nomenclature used to define white and black haired bulls, Asterion is a fictional character (a minotaur from a popular tale) and Gallardo is a breed originated from the breeding of andalusian cows with navarrese bulls.

The remaining ones: Miura, Murciélago and Huracán are indeed names of historical bulls, remarkable because of its exceptional strength, bravery, speed, courage, etc.

Lamborghini's first cars were related to bullfighting beacuse of Ferruccio's passion. But this tradition in Lamborghini has changed from time to time. Examples of this are: Sesto elemento, Centenario and Egoista.

So yeah most of Lamborghini's cars are named after bulls or stuff related to them, but it's worth noting that it isn't the case for all of their models. Words like "murciélago" (bat), "huracán" (hurricane) and "veneno" (venom) are spanish words, just that in this case are used as names.
