Lamborghini history

Lamborghini automobiles are highly regarded by car aficionados all over the world. They have excellent performance in terms of speed and are stylishly built. The main characteristics of Lamborghini cars are their tremendous style and tremendous speed. They are Ferrari’s number one rival. And if you live in Beverly Hills, chances are you’ll see a scissor-door Lamborghini in malls, drive-throughs, and coffee shops. These types of vehicles are designed exclusively for some customers.

Lamborghini founder Ferruccio Lamborghini who served in the Air Force Mechanic Corps with Italy during World War II. And he was good at working with engines. When World War II ended there was a shortage of tractors. Lamborghini seized the opportunity and bought up surplus military machines and traded them in for tractors. It was a brilliant idea and his move resulted in a prosperous business career as a young entrepreneur. And he made him a very rich man very quickly.

Lamborghini’s tractor business became more successful during the 1950s and expanded into the heating and air conditioning business and was an even more flourishing business. Lamborghini was a car lover and had many sports cars that were considered the best at the time. And because of his frustration with Ferrari cars, he built a car that was better than Ferraris. He built a state-of-the-art car factory in the small town of Sant’Agata. And his automotive engineer was Giotto Bizzarrini, who worked with Ferrari before. The tractor business also faced hard times in the early 1970s which led Lamborghini to sell its majority stake in Automobili Lamborghini SpA to a Swiss industrialist. When the oil crisis arrived, his problems worsened and led him to sell his remaining shares. But after ten years, Lamborghini declared bankruptcy because the development of the Cheetah-style military truck was not selling well.
