	Lamborghini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most common version, as told by Lamborghini's son [1], is that Ferruccio Lamborghini went to meet Enzo Ferrari at the Ferrari factory to complain about the quality of the clutch in Lamborghini's Ferrari 250 GT.
		Lamborghini went back to his factory, had his Ferrari's clutch dismantled and realised that the clutch manufacturer was the same who supplied the clutches for his tractors.
		Contrary to a frequent misunderstanding, Ferruccio himself never was a bullfighting supporter but loved bulls and was a Taurus, which explains why most models have a name somehow related to bulls.

		Ferruccio was a car enthusiast (which Italian is not?) and he was quite familiar with Maserati and Ferrari, the reigning sports cars at the time.
		Lamborghini had started to make its presence felt but it was only after the fantastic and extravagant drilled chassis presented at the Lamborghini stand during the 1965 Turin Auto Show that the company began to be spoken of in the same breath as Ferrari and Maserati.

		True to the tradition in which the bull has always been the symbol of the prestigious motorcar company founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini--born under the sign of Taurus, no less--the management at Automobili Lamborghini have decided to baptise the latest car in the noble line with the name of a fighting bull.
		The Lamborghini Murciélago is 2-seater, 2-door coupé (with the now familiar gull-wing doors) based on the traditional Lamborghini layout: mid-mounted V12 engine, typical Lamborghini transmission with the gearbox mounted in front of the engine and the rear differential integrated into the engine unit, permanent four-wheel drive with central viscous coupler.
		This layout, successfully employed by Lamborghini for more than 30 years, affords an optimal weight distribution (42% front and 58% rear) with conspicuous advantages for traction, braking and handling.

		Ferruccio Lamborghini was the son of a farmer, but he was more interested in machinery than in agriculture.
		Lamborghini wisely chose to consolidate, concentrating on getting the Miura and its stablemates to waiting customers, while behind the scenes work began on the important new ‘mid market’ Lamborghini, the P250 Urraco which would debut in 1970.
		Lamborghini needed to do little to the Miura to keep orders rolling in, but a revised Miura S was introduced later in 1968.

	Automobili Lamborghini Celebrates its 40th Anniversary
		One of the greatest automotive legends tells us that Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful Italian manufacturer of farm tractors, built his first sports car, the 1963 350GT, as a V-12-engined middle finger to Enzo Ferrari, after Enzo displayed little sympathy for the problems Ferruccio experienced with his Ferrari road car.
		Thus one of the great automotive rivalries was born, and millions of Farrah Fawcett posters shared the walls of boys' bedrooms with pictures of scissor-winged Countaches as a result.
		Adjacent to the legendary factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, near Modena, is the Lamborghini Museum, which opened two years ago to encapsulate and celebrate Lamborghini's history as the thorn in Ferrari's side.
