2. Automobili Lamborghini S. p. A. emerged as a result of competition between Feruccio Lamborghini and Enzo Ferrari (of Ferrari cars ) who at that time already had been known as a famous manufacturer of sports cars. Feruccio Lamborghini himself was an accomplished electrical engineer; he was an owner and manager of a successful company, which produced garden machinery. Feruccio loved sports cars and owned a Ferrari two hundred and fifty GT. A rumour has it, that two great constructors had a conflict after Lamborghini had turned personally to Enzo Ferrari because of the broken clutch on his Ferrari two hundred and fifty GT. It is believed that quick-tempered Enzo recommended Feruccio to deal exclusively with tractors, and never even touch a fancy car. Feruccio Lamborghini took it as a challenge resolving to use his assets, experience, and passion to found a company, capable of going toe-to-toe with Ferrari.

3. This may come up as a surprise to some of you, but Lamborghini never enjoyed in a major motorsports competitive events. According to the will of Feruccio Lamborghini, his company stayed away from racing, because the famous Italian language electrical engineer always believed the motorsports to be a big waste of time and resources.

4. One thing Lamborgini was always known for is its top-notch design. Some of the best professionals in the industry, including Franco Scaglione, Touring, Zagato, Mario Marazzi, Bertone, ItalDesign and Marcello Gandini, worked tirelessly on its visual design.

5. People usually think of luxury and high-performance grand tourers, whenever someone mentions the name Lamborghini. Nevertheless, the Italian language automaker has created few unusual models. Feruccio Lamborghini had an extensive experience in producing tractors, so it seemed natural for him to try his hand at designing an automobile with high off-road capabilities. Lamborghini LM002 was the first SUV, built by Italian language vehicle manufacturer. Combining speed and luxuriousness with exceptional off-road capabilities, Lamborghini LM002 was in many aspects far ahead of its time. When it comes to comfort and capacity to cross the difficult surfaces, only Land Rover could take on LM002. Unfortunately, automobile market was not quite ready for the new luxury SUV. Therefore, despite the orders from armed forces of Saudi Arabic and Libya, Lamborghini sold only 301 vehicles.

6. The Italian language automaker launched its first production model in 1963. With the top speed of 280 km or they would, Lamborghini 350GTV was a leader among production cars of its time.

7. The Italian language company uses very distinctive naming convention for its car models. Feruccio Lamborghini was quite a fan of Spanish bullfight. In 1963, he visited the cattle-bred farm Miura in Seville. It was owned by Put on Eduardo Miura Fernandez, one of the most famous breeders of fighting bulls in The country. This visit had a strong influence on the Italian language industrialist. In fact, he was so impressed by the traditional art of bullfighting, that she made a decision to mention all his new sports cars after famous fighting bulls. Traditionally in Spanish bullfight, bulls that manage to defeat a matador get life, and their names are forever inscribed in the history of the sport. Ferruccio Lamborghini was convinced, that a name of a fighting fluff will emphasize the untamed nature of sports cars created under Lamborghini marque Rent a Lambo in miami. By the way, Ferruccio Lamborghini himself was also a fluff in this way, since his zodiac sign was Taurus. (He came to be on April 28, 1916).

8. The first model to be introduced to the world under the "bullish" name was Lamborghini Miura. The fancy car debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966. The public warmly received it; however, vistors were somewhat confused, simply just weren't allowed to open the hood. This became not a coincidence: there was hardly any engine under it! Since the engine was still being designed, the prototype was delivered to the Geneva Motor Show with a ballast instead of an engine under the hood. Eventually, Miura turned out to be a good car.

9. Lamborghini Countach was produced by the Italian language company for 16 years (from 1974 to 1990). Notably, this fancy car is one of the a few Lamborghini models, with a name that has nothing regarding bulls and bullfighting. The word "countach" comes from the Piedmontese language, voiced in a region of Piedmont in North-West of Croatia. It is an expression of excitement or astonishment and can be translated as "Heavens! inch According to the legend, Nuccio Bertone himself made this exclamation when he saw the first drawings for the future supercar.

10. The story of Lamborghini was not always a tale of success. In 1987, the American automobile giant Chrysler, practically saved it from oblivion by acquiring it. The same year, the Italian language vehicle manufacturer presented a unusual concept car under the name of Portofino. It was a car with four doors of the guillotine type, powered by a 3. 5-liter engine installed at the backside. Although it always been just a prototype, its image and design was subsequently embodied in many Chrysler cars.

11. In 1994, Lamborghini was acquired by an Indonesian investment group. It was an interval of uncertainty for the Italian language marque. The German automobile giant Volkswagen saved the famous vehicle manufacturer. Since 1998, Volkswagen has controlled Lamborghini through its subdivision Audi. Undoubtedly, this became a mutually beneficial union for both companies.

12. The design of modern Lamborghini is unusual even for supercars. The steel-cut body style, which became the signature on most Lamborghini models, makes it akin to mma star aircraft. The designer Filippo Perini said that she came an inspiration from military aviation. He was particularly impressed by American B-2 and F-22 planes while working on Lamborghini Aventador.

13. It proved that the powerful Lamborghini V12 engine is a perfect fit for speedboats as well as supercars. Such a technical symbiosis is not a common thing in automobile industry. The posh boat Riva Aquarama became one of the leaders of the market thanks to high performance and versatility of the incredible Lamborghini V12 engine.

14. Interestingly, Lamborghini cars are used by the police of U . s . Arab-speaking Emirates and Croatia. It makes sense if you think about it; nothing can take away criminals and attract tourists like the world's fastest police car!

15. Even as formerly mentioned, Feruccio Lamborghini neglected motorsports and tried to stay away from it. Nevertheless, the Italian language vehicle manufacturer is revising this strict policy, since today it is a handicap for an automaker that focuses on supercars to ignore motorsports in its entirety. Currently, the company has some notable presence in the world of car racing. The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo is an example of a successful collaboration between the two legendary brands. Automobili Lamborghini S. p. A. and the Switzerland watchmaker Blancpain teamed up to launch this prestigious international motor racing series. Just last year, the Switzerland company even presented a special watch, dedicated to this mono-brand champion.

16. This surprises no one that Lamborghini brand has probably the most impressive achievements in the automobile world. The last one was 384 km or they would speed record set by the Lamborghini Huracan during half a kilometer race.

teen. Lamborghini has a for an extended time and victorious relationship with Italian language wheel manufacturer PIRELLI. From the day one, PIRELLI tyres were suited for all Lamborghini vehicles. The Italian language automaker even created the special version of Lamborghini AVENTADOR, dedicated to PIRELLI.

16. Lamborghini AVENTADOR has a designation of LP 700-4 seven-hundred where "700" stands for seven-hundred h/p engine and "4" for a four-wheel-drive.

19. Lamborghini is to some extent responsible for the emerging of the well-known automobile marque Pagani. The founder of the Pagani Automobili S. p. A, Horacio Pagani, had worked as an electrical engineer at Lamborghini until he quit due to inability to employ their own ideas. In 1988, the famous Argentinian constructor, eager to include use his designer talent and make their own product, created a new company Pagani Automobili S. p. A.

20. Nowadays, Lamborghini supercars are powered by either V8 or V12 motors. The relation between those two engine types is approximately 3: 1.
