History

Origin

Ferruccio Lamborghini went to meet Enzo Ferrari at the Ferrari factory to complain about the quality of the clutch in his Ferrari 250^[2]. Enzo Anselmo "the Commendatore" Ferrari ( February 20, 1898 &ndash August 14, 1988) was an Italian car driver and entrepreneur Ferrari SpA is an Italian Sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy A clutch is a mechanism for transmitting rotation which can be engaged and disengaged The Ferrari 250 is a series of Sports cars built by Ferrari from the 1950s and early 1960s An infuriated Enzo Ferrari sent him away telling him to go drive his tractors because he was not able to drive cars. Lamborghini went back to his factory to have the Ferrari's clutch dismantled and found that the clutch in the Ferrari was made by the same manufacturer who supplied the clutches used in Lamborghini tractors. Lamborghini installed a stronger clutch from his factory's warehouse into his Ferrari and solved the clutch failure.

Furious with Enzo Ferrari's arrogant and aloof manner, Ferruccio Lamborghini promised himself he would never own another Ferrari, and would beat Ferrari at his own game, by creating a superior sports car of his own.

Ferruccio decided that his car was to have a V12 engine. V12 redirects here For the V12 Training program see V-12 Navy College Training Program. Giotto Bizzarrini, a former Ferrari engineer with experience with the development of the Ferrari V12, was contracted to design the engine. Giotto Bizzarrini (born June 6, 1926) is an Italian Automobile engineer active from the 1950s through 1970s The engine featured aluminum construction, a short stroke, a seven main bearing crankshaft, forged aluminum pistons, two big bore valves per cylinder, and two overhead camshafts per cylinder bank, each camshaft having its own half-engine-speed sprocket with silent chain. The crankshaft, sometimes casually abbreviated to crank, is the part of an Engine which translates reciprocating Linear A piston is a component of Reciprocating engines Pumps and Gas compressors It is located in a cylinder and is made gas-tight by Piston Overhead camshaft, commonly abbreviated to OHC, Valvetrain configurations place the engine Camshaft within the Cylinder heads above the The engine developed 350 horsepower (260 kW). The body was designed by Franco Scaglione. Franco Scaglione ( 26 September 1916 &ndash 19 June 1993) was an automobile coachwork designer

Born under the sign of the Taurus, Ferruccio Lamborghini used the bull as the badge to mark his new automobile. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus.

The Lamborghini 350GTV prototype was introduced at the 1963 Turin Auto Show. The Lamborghini 350 GTV was the prototype and forerunner of the later 350 GT ( Lamborghini ´s first production model The Turin Auto Show, officially Salone dell'automobile di Torino, is well-known Italian motor show. Lamborghini commissioned Carrozzeria Touring to design a more practical model. Carrozzeria Touring (established March 25, 1926 in Milan, discontinued 1966 was an Italian Automobile Coachbuilder famous for This was put into production as the 350GT. After assembling a strong team to built the GTV prototype Ferruccio Lamborghini launched the production version of his grand tourer Sales of the 350GT totaled 130.

Under Ferruccio Lamborghini

The 350GT was followed by the 400GT. The Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 was a 2+2-seated Sports car from the Italian manufacturer Lamborghini, successor to the 350GT. Profits from the 400GT and its predecessor gave the company ample capital to design its first sports car, the Lamborghini Miura. Styling Inspired by the Ford GT40 (now Ford GT) the Miura astonished showgoers at the 1965 Turin Motor Show where only the chassis was shown with The chassis of the new Miura was introduced by Ferruccio himself at the November 1965 Turin Auto Show. The car's engine was transversely mounted. A transverse engine is an Engine in which the Crankshaft is oriented side-to-side relative to the length of the vehicle The styling was executed by Marcello Gandini in less than a year. Marcello Gandini (born on August 26, 1938) is an Italian car Designer Born in Turin, after finishing school he received a job The completed car was displayed at the March 1966 Geneva Auto Show. The International Geneva Motor Show (Salon International de l'Auto is an annual Auto show held in March in the Swiss city of Geneva. The car's name was taken from the famed fighting-bull trainer, Don Eduardo Miura. One hundred and eleven Miuras were sold in 1967. Seven hundred and sixty-one were made in total. The Miura propelled the company into the small world of exotic car manufacturers.

The Espada, a four-seat car based on the Marzal concept car, was developed alongside of the Miura. The Lamborghini Espada is a Grand tourer which was built by Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini between 1968 and 1978 The Lamborghini Marzal was a prototype Concept car presented by Lamborghini at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show The name Espada means sword in Spanish, and referred to the sword used by the matador in bullfighting. Using the 4-litre V12 in a conventional front engine layout, the low-slung touring car could attain a top speed of approximately 150 mph (240 km/h). An interesting feature of the Espada was a glass taillight panel that used the same taillights as the contemporary Fiat 124 Coupé. Fiat 124 Coupé was an Italian car produced from 1967 in three models the AC BC and CC The Espada received minor improvements over its production, resulting in three distinct series.

In 1971, Lamborghini produced the LP500 Countach prototype. The Lamborghini Countach was a mid-engined Sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990 The Countach was named after an Italian slang term uttered in surprise by Nuccio Bertone upon seeing the car for the first time. Giuseppe Bertone, called "Nuccio" ( Torino, July 4, 1914 &ndash Torino, February 26, 1997) was a famed The production LP400 Countach was introduced three years later. The Lamborghini Countach was a mid-engined Sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990 The prototype was the first car to sport Lamborghini's now-traditional scissor doors, along with vertically mounted rear air intakes. The Countach's V12 engine initially had the same 4-litre capacity as the Miura, but this was enlarged to five litres upon the introduction of the LP500S Countach in 1982. The Countach was one of the first cars to use the Pirelli "P-Zero" tires. Pirelli & C SpA ( is a diverse Multinational company based in Milan, Italy. This article is about tires used on road Vehicles including pneumatic tires and solid tires. Lamborghini's test driver would often demonstrate the Countach's abilities to journalists. A detail noted by journalists was the manner in which a Countach was reversed; the driver would raise the door and sit on the door sill.

The company suffered a major setback in 1972 when a massive tractor order from a South American nation was canceled. In preparation of the order, Lamborghini had made upgrades to its factories to accommodate the increase in demand. Financial complications forced Ferruccio to sell part of his share of the tractor factory to Fiat. Fiat SpA (an Acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian Automobile Factory of Turin) is an Italian automobile manufacturer The tractor business was eventually acquired by SAME (now Same Deutz-Fahr). Same Deutz-Fahr is an Italian -based manufacturer of Tractors Combine harvesters engines and equipment Lamborghini tractors are still sold today, as part of the SAME Deutz-Fahr Group.

Eventually, the automobile division became self-sufficient and profitable. Lamborghini, however, sold all his remaining stock in the company to a Swiss investor and left the automotive industry.

Bankruptcy, Mimran, and Chrysler

The 1970s oil crisis plagued sales of high performance cars. In 1978, Lamborghini declared bankruptcy. An Italian court was appointed to find a buyer, and the Swiss-based Mimran brothers took over the company in 1984, after managing the company for four years while it was in receivership. The company remained solvent under Mimran's control, selling the Countach, the Jalpa, and the LM002 during this time.

In a surprise move, the company was bought by the Chrysler Corporation in 1987 with the acquisition being driven by Lee Iacocca, Chrysler's chairman at the time. Chrysler LLC is an American Automobile manufacturer that has been producing Automobiles since 1925 Lido Anthony "Lee" Iacocca (born October 15, 1924) is an American businessman most commonly known for his revival of the Lamborghini at the time was working on the Countach's successor, the Diablo. Early Models Diablo Lamborghini began developing the Diablo (which translates to "Devil" in Spanish in 1985 as a replacement for the Countach The basic design of the Diablo was by Marcello Gandini, who designed the Miura and the Countach while at Bertone. The design was further developed by Chrysler, which brought its resources, including design input, pollution controls, and new manufacturing techniques, into this development. Chrysler's experience with the design of mass market vehicles improved areas of practicality and comfort that had been neglected earlier, including noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), engineering, and ergonomics. ^[3].

Post-Chrysler: Megatech and Audi

In January 1994, poor economic circumstances and the political climate at Chrysler forced them to sell Lamborghini to Megatech, an Indonesian investment group headed by Tommy Suharto, the youngest son of Indonesian President Suharto. A new management team was installed at the company headquaters headed by ex-Lotus Group Chief Executive, Mike Kimberley. Kimberley was, at the time, the only candidate acceptable to Chrysler as the new President of Lamborghini as he was well known to senior Chrysler management.

Under the new management, Lamborghini began a resurgence in the world market, with a complete revision of its international dealer network and the implementation of highly proactive marketing strategies. Sales increased from 101 in 1993 to 301 in 1994 and 414 in 1995. Large stocks of cars held by the dealers were cleared out to create a shortage of product in the market to reinforce the exclusive image and premium value of Lamborghini product.

The Lamborghini Diablo SV (Sport Veloce) was launched in 1996. Inspired by the Lamborghini Miura SV, the Diablo SV featured a more powerful 525bhp V12 engine featuring variable cam timing technology developed by Lamborghini. The Diablo SV became the best selling version of the Diablo.

The Lamborghini Diablo SVR was also introduced in 1996 and used to compete in the one-make racing series sponsored by Lease Plan.

Megatech sold the company in 1997 as a result of changing circumstances in Indonesia and therefore an inability to fund the exciting future business plan produced by Kimberley's team. Lamborghini was bought by Audi AG, who had gained interest in the Italian company after being one of several major manufacturers approached as possible technical suppliers for major components for future Lamborghini models. AUDI AG, ( Xetra: NSU commonly known as Audi (aˈʊdi is a German Automobile manufacturer which produces Audi branded cars with headquarters After a complex series of transactions, Audi AG became the sole owner of Automobili Lamborghini.

Lamborghini's latest owner once again greatly influenced the design of its cars, including the Murcielago. The name The name Murciélago (pronounced moor-thee-EH-la-goh in traditional Castilian Spanish and moor-see-EH-la-goh in Spanish of Latin America means " Audi's vast technical resources helped produce one of Lamborghini's most sophisticated cars to date.
