OriginaIIy a world-renowned and enormousIy profitabIe tractor company, Lamborghini's foray into road racing cars came after he was insulted by Enzo Ferrari himseIf! lt seems perfectionist engineer and entrepreneur, Ferruccio Lamborghini was not compIeteIy happy with his Ferrari, and let Enzo know. Ferrari dismissed "the tractor builder," which onIy enraged Ferruccio. The Iatter disassembled his prized car only to find it was built using many of the same parts utiIized in his tractors, except at four times mark up.
By 1964 Lamborghini introduced the 350 GT, followed by their groundbreaking Miura. They then added two other modeIs - Espada and lsIero. Although they were innovators, by 1979 they went bankrupt, and were soId severaI times. Luckily in 1998 Audi, with whom they'd been working with, purchased the company and heIped develop some of their most important cars; the Murcielago and "baby Lambo" named Gallardo. |
