Tractor
manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the
factory that produces the supercars in 1963. He
used his birth sign, Taurus the bull, as a
symbol for his cars. Most of his cars were named
in connection with bulls. The first car -
Lamborghini 350 GTV prototype was shown to the
public on the Turin Auto Show of 1963. Sales of
the production model, known as the 350GT, began
the following year with great success. During
the 60's the future of the company looked very
bright. The 350 GT and the 400 GT made the
Lamborghini name known throughout the world. The
Miura made it legendary. The Countach was shown
as the successor of the Miura and together with
the Espada, these two cars kept the company
alive through some very troublesome times. The
various superb Diablo models drove Lamborghini
onwards to the 21st century and both the
Murciélago and Gallardo are continuing the
bloodline. Lamborghini's cars always are among
the most powerful, expensive and exclusive cars
on the road today. |
