Every one of us knows the
majestic cars that are being produced by the Italian automaker Lamborghini, but
the success story of Ferruccio Lamborghini who founded a manufacturer of
high-performance sports cars is not so well known to the public.
Ferruccio Lamborghini, born
in 1916, served as a mechanic during the WWII and started to build tractors
soon after the war had ended. His tractor company became one of the largest
agricultural equipment manufacturers in Italy, so Ferruccio Lamborghini could
afford himself dozens of luxury cars such as a Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, and
Alfa Romeo. He also decided to purchase several Ferraris and this is where the
success story of the Lamborghini begins and started to evolve to one
of the most successful luxury car manufacturers in the world.
When Ferruccio Lamborghini bought a brand
new Ferrari he considered it to be more a repurposed track car than a regular
road car, as the Ferrari was too noisy and rough to handle. Lamborghini was
fond of the Ferrari but was not completely satisfied with it, so he decided to
make several suggestions to Enzo Ferrari (founder of Ferrari) including design
changes that could help him to improve his luxurious Ferraris.
It is reported that Enzo Ferrari´s response to Lamborghini´s suggestions was not positive at all, as he only told Lamborghini that he had more knowledge in tractors than sports cars. Ferrari didn´t take Lamborghini´s suggestions seriously. Ferraris comment encouraged Lamborghini to prove him wrong. Lamborghini decided to pursue his vision of a perfect sports car, encouraged by Ferrari´s unwillingness to consider his suggestions.

In 1964 Lamborghini
manufactured the first versions of the Lamborghini 350 GT, which exceeded the
performance of a Ferrari considerably. Since 1966 all Lamborghini´s were named
after famous Spanish bull-fight breeding, such as Murciélago and Gallardo,
with the only exception of the Lamborghini Countach. The name Countach was
chosen after an employee said out loud “countach” when he first saw the car,
which is a local dialect expression in the Italian language for “amazing” or
“stunning”
