Lamborghinis

Ferruccio Lamborghini built an empire from his farm tractor business and, in the 1950s, indulged his lifelong passion for automobiles by purchasing the best cars that Italy had to offer: Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and, naturally, Ferrari.

According to an interview published in a 1991 issue of the British magazine "Thoroughbred and Classic Cars," Lamborghini decided to go into the automobile business in 1963 after he complained about a weak clutch in the Ferrari 250GT and Enzo Ferrari responded, “Lamborghini, you may be able to drive a tractor, but you will never be able to handle a Ferrari properly.”

Lamborghinis are known for straight lines and squared-off edges, indicative of stiffer, more hard-edged handling compared to Ferrari. Under the leadership of Audi, Lamborghini is moving beyond its sleek two-seater supercars the Aventador and the Huracán, and entering into the luxury SUV market with the Urus and the Asterion LPI 910-4 concept, the automaker's first plug-in hybrid.
