Lamborghini

The Lamborghini: a sleek model of a car that causes great envy to a lot of people who do not own or cannot afford to have one. Interestingly enough, Lamborghini has a long history behind it that did not even include race cars, or cars for that matter. The Lamborghini was a long time coming from the brilliant and creative mind of Ferruccio Lamborghini.

Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in 1916 in Italy. He joined the army and was stationed on a basically remote island during World War II where his ability to fix just about anything without many tools or parts available was discovered. Basically, if he couldn’t fix it, then it couldn’t be fixed. When the war ended, he returned to his home in northern Italy and decided to go into his own business; repairing and fixing up cars and motorcycles. However, as he lived in a highly agricultural area, he soon noticed that there was a great need for someone who could fix tractors and so he began his venture into tractor repair.

Ferruccio Lamborghini started building his own tractor engines and they became so popular and in such demand that he was producing and selling over 400 a month by 1960. By this time, he’d also developed a love for race cars and had owned and driven several of the top performance cars including the Ferrari. He decided it was time for him to make his own car and that, as they say, is history.
