Automobili Lamborghini was founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the kid of viticulturists from the comune (township) of Renazzo di Cento, Province of Ferrara, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. After serving as a mechanic in the Regia Aeronautica in the course of World War II, Lamborghini went into business building tractors out of leftover military hardware from the war effort. By the mid-1950s, Lamborghini’s tractor company, Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A., had grow to be 1 of the greatest agricultural equipment producers in the country.He was also the owner of a prosperous gas heater and air conditioning manufacturer.
Lamborghini’s wealth allowed him to cultivate a childhood interest in automobiles, owning several luxury automobiles which includes Alfa Romeos, Lancias, Maseratis, and a Mercedes Benz. He acquired his first Ferrari, a 250GT, in 1958, and went on to own many more. Lamborghini was fond of the Ferraris, although considered them too noisy and rough to be appropriate road vehicles, likening them to repurposed track vehicles. Lamborghini decided to go after an automobile manufacturing venture, with the aim of bringing to life his vision of an ideal grand tourer.

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., mostly discussed as Lamborghini (Italian: [lambor’gi?ni] ( listen)), is an Italian vehicle manufacturer. The company was founded by manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963, with the objective of producing a refined grand touring car to compete with established offerings from marques such as Ferrari.

The organization’s first models were released in the mid-1960s, and were noted for their refinement, power and comfort. Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coup?, which established mid-engine design as the regular layout for high-efficiency automobiles of the era. After a decade of rapid growth, difficult times befell the company in the mid-1970s, as sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 world monetary downturn & oil crisis. After going through bankruptcy and 3 changes in ownership, Lamborghini came below the corporate umbrella of the Chrysler Business in 1987. The American company failed to return the automaker to profitability and sold it to Indonesian interests in 1994. Lamborghini’s lack of success continued by way of the 1990s, till the company was sold in 1998 to Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group (a German automotive concern). Audi’s ownership marked the starting of a period of stability & increased productivity for Lamborghini, with sales elevating almost tenfold over the course of the 2000s, peaking in record sales in 2007 & 2008. The world monetary crisis in the late 2000s negatively affected luxury automobile makers global, & saw Lamborghini’s sales drop back to pre-2006 levels.

Assembly of Lamborghini automobiles continues to take place at the automaker’s ancestral home in Sant’Agata Bolognese, where engine and automobile production lines run side-by-side at the organisation’s single factory. The company makes only 2 models, the V-10 powered Gallardo and the V12-powered Aventador, in many different body styles, trim levels, & limited-production editions. Less than three,000 cars roll off the production line each year.
