Aha - Gallardo and Murcielago are breeds of bull each named themselves after bulls that appear in Spanish mythology.

Countach is an expression of amazement, being impressed etc with seeing a thing of beauty (usually a woman and is a bit vulgar. Originates from mid-northern Italy).

Diablo is simply Spanish for Devil

Nah, something more masculine and almost phallic is better, e.g.

PULSAR GTI

I think Murcielago roughly translated means 'bat' (conjuring "out of hell" connetations).

@ "Pulsar".
