~Lamborghini~

Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of the company that is world renowned for its stylish
performance cars, was born in 1916, Italy. After World War II, Lamborghini grew rich and
bought many luxurious cars such as a ferrari, but when he discovered the multitude of
mechanical problems in the car, he decided to create a rival sports car company, and even hired
a top Ferrari engineer. Finally in 1963, ‘Automobili Lamborghini’ was established in
Bolognese Italy and released its first car: the 250 GTV, a coupé with a v12 engine.

~Heritage~

Lamborghini’s logo features a raging bull, originating from Mr. Lamborghini’s zodiac sign.
Furthermore, many of the company’s cars had names referencing bulls, such as the
Miura – which was named after Don Miura, a breeder of bulls. The Miura was a revolutionary car that
was much ahead of its time, and is regarded as the first supercar in history. Its stylish
bodywork and its abilty to reach groundbreaking speeds brought it into the eye of
car enthusiasts, and gave Lamborghini a reputation for prestige. Other notable cars
include the Countach with its gullwing door, the Diablo, and in more recent times: Aventador,
Huracan, Reventon, and SUV Urus.

In stark contrast to Enzo Ferrari, Lamborghini’s primary concern was to make road-cars, and
not delve too much into the world of motorsport, as Ferruccio realised that it would be
too costly to do. Over the years Lamborghini provided the V12 engines for formula one
racecars, for Larousse, Lotus, Ligier, Minardi and Modena teams around the early
1990s. in 2004, the Murciélago was built to race in the FIA GT champoinship abd the American
Le Mans series.

~In Popular Culture~

In modern times, Lamborghini has introduced the Aventador SV and the Huracan Performanté
each packing extra speed. In television, the Lamborghini Countach has
featured in the famous program “The night-rider” starring David Hasslehof. Along with this
Lamborghini has appeared in many films as well.
