10 Unforgettable Ferruccio Lamborghini Quotes

Born in 1916, Ferruccio Lamborghini is an Italian industrialist whose parents were grape farmers in Renazzo. He was responsible for founding a company that manufactured tractors from reconfigured military machinery near the city of Bologna in Italy.

Lamborghini eventually moved on to manufacturing air conditioning and heating units, which quickly made him extremely wealthy. The success he experienced allowed him to buy a number of luxury sports cars, including a Ferrari.

It wasn’t long after buying this car that he decided to start his own company that would challenge Ferrari in a big way. He even went as far as poaching one of the engineers at Ferrari to work for his new company. The company known as Automobil Lamborghini was established in 1963 in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The legacy of Ferruccio Lamborghini still lives on even today with his son, Tonino.
