Lamborghini - High Performance Car
Nice Car!
History of the Lamborghini
Around the 1960s, successful tractor manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini began to gain interest in developing a high-performance car. He had owned Oscas, Maseratis, and Ferraris, but was never completely happy with his car. Although there are several versions of what finally drove Ferrucio to bring his car company into existence, they all involve a conflict between Enzo Ferrari (the founder of Ferrari) and Ferruccio, driving Lamborgini to set up his own company to compete against Ferrari's.

The car the engine was mounted in was designed by Franco Scaglione's Scaglione-Touring. This Lamborghini 350GTV prototype began making public appearances in 1963, starting with the Turin Auto Show. Sales of the production model, known as the 350GT, began the following year with great success, with over 130 examples sold. Born under the sign of the taurus, Ferrucio Lamborghini used the bull as the badge by which to mark his new automobile. The 350GT was followed up by the 400GT. The excellent sales of the 400GT and its predecesor gave the company sufficient funds to design its first...
