After World War II, Italy's agriculture was in decline. All the capacities of the factories were thrown into the production of military equipment, which was sent outside the country. Ferruccio Lamborghini converted into agricultural vehicles those remaining military vehicles that could be found and redeemed. In 1949, Ferruccio founded his own company Lamborghini Trattori. The company took up the design and production of tractors.

From tractor to supercars

The discord in the Ferrari company, as well as the previous conflict between Ferruccio and Enzo, the owner of the company, about the technical flaws in the Ferrari cars, made it possible to start collecting the best car in the Gran Turismo class under the Lamborghini brand.

Initially, the bet was made on the motor v12. The motor and separately the body of the car Lamborghini 350 GTV (Gran Turismo Veloce) was demonstrated in October 1963 at the Turin Automobile Exhibition. The reason for showing separately the main components of the car was the sloping hood of the Lamborghini, and therefore the engine simply did not fit.

Lamborghini Miura was shown in 1965 at the auto show in Turin, the model was personally represented by Ferruccio. A year later (in 1966) a serial version was already created. Miura has become a key model of the company, bringing her fame.

Ferruccio gave names for his cars in honor of eminent breeds of bulls, legendary arenas. He was a passionate fan of bullfighting. In addition to the names of the Lamborghini car models, the emblem also shows Ferruccio's love for bulls.

A few years later, the Countach was created. It was shown in 1971, it was the last model created under the leadership of the Ferruccio company. Serial production began in 1974, the model received distinctive features in the form of vertically opening doors (later they became known as lambo doors).

Full owner of the company 9 years

There are many versions of why the founder of the company sold a controlling stake. This is the crisis in South America, where he supplied tractors, and the fact that his company was able to bypass Enzo's Ferrari company. It is known for sure that the founder of the company, Ferruccio, managed its sports division for 9 years.

A total of 21 Lamborghini models were mass-produced between 1964 and 2018
