Lamborghini: over 40 years leading position.

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., commonly known as Lamborghini, is a manufacturer of high performance sports cars located in the small Italian village of Sant'Agata Bolognese, near Bologna. The company was based in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, and sports cars themselves were born as a fall-out from his very successful tractor factory, Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A. Ferruccio Lamborghini was an enthusiastic owner of sports cars, including a Ferrari. The most common version of why Lamborghini started his own company is that there has been a conflict between himself and Enzo Ferrari, which leaded to separating.

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 names somehow related to bulls. Among the most popular Lamborghini's products are undoubtedly Miura, Espada, Islero, Countach, Diablo, Murcielago and the Gallardo. Although Lamborghini has continuously shown engineering expertise with the more civil models such as Espada, Jarama, Jalpa and Gallardo, it is the outrageous super cars that have established the Lamborghini name and look with the public. The Miura, the Countach, the Diablo, and the Murcielago continue to be the most desired sports cars in their car class.

Lamborghini's cars are not only amongst the most expensive and powerful road-going vehicles made, but are also considered by many to be amongst the most stunning and impressive in appearance.
