Almost every car enthusiast has dreamt of driving a Lamborghini at least once in their life. Know more:
But little did we know that winemaker Ferruccio Lamborghini – the inventor, mechanic, and car designer who created Automobili Lamborghini in 1963 – had a Cinderella-like story: he was a young Italian, born to grape farmers, with huge ambitions of competing with the already established supercar maker Ferrari. In fact, Lamborghini didn’t always make supercars; Ferruccio made tractors in the beginning — yes, big lumbering tractors, for farms.
In the movie, when Ferruccio offers Enzo Ferrari a partnership to make the best car in the world , Ferrari tells him, “Go back to your tractors, farmer.” Adding insult to injury, the older man says, “Do you know what they say about Lamborghini? He is too uneducated to understand what he doesn’t know.”
Once Ferruccio visited Eduardo Miura’s ranch in Seville where the latter raised bulls for bullfighting, he had an emblem for his supercar. He also named a lot of them after famous fighting bulls like the Lamborghini Gallardo , which was named after one of the five Spanish bull breed castes, and Huracan , after a famous bull that fought in 1879.
