Ferruccio Lamborghini
1916-1993
Lamborghini
started out as a prosperous maker of tractors
and air conditioning and heating units systems after World War II,
Lamborghini
was an passionate owner of
sports cars, including Ferraris. He noticed that some of the clutch
components were the same as the ones he used on his tractors,
as well as suffering frequent dependability issues not unknown


to Ferraris. He approached
Enzo Ferrari
with his criticism.
Ferrari offended Lamborghini, efficiently stating that a tractor manufacturer
was not qualified to censure Ferraris. Affronted by Ferrari's response,
Lamborghini
decided to "build better cars than Ferrari" and to prove that
supercars did not have to be as temperamental as Ferraris. In order to achieve his goal, he founded his own rival sports
car manufacturer near the Ferrari factory, and hired ex-Ferrari engineers Gianpaolo Dallara and Bob Wallace to design and develop the cars. His initial
manufacture car, the Lamborghini 350GT, was greater in every reverence that
Lamborghini
had criticized in his Ferraris. His third model, the Miura, was a
ground-breaking and legendary car that started the kind of the mid-engine
supercar. He has developed many unique designs that describe the Italians best
when they design cars: luxurious, smart and safe
