LegacyFerruccio Lamborghini founded the factory that produces the cars that bear his name in 1963, at the age of 47.A self-made man, some say he was unhappy with the treatment he received from the producers of GT cars, others that he was motivated to produce, in his own words, "the perfect car". Whatever his reasons, he progressed from being a successful manufacturer of tractors and air-conditioning equipment to create the world's most exotic cars. The various superb Diablo models drove Lamborghini onwards to the 21st century and both the Murciélago and Gallardo are continuing the bloodline and are, like the great cars of the past, lauded with high praise for the sheer power and intensity of the driving experience they offer. Automobili Lamborghini has had a turbulent and eventful history. Sometimes events seem to conspire to give the impression that soon these great cars would be no more... now, that raging bull that is the badge every Lamborghini carries still roars in mighty defiance! |
