Ferruccio Lamborghini was born on April 28th, 1916.
After World War II, Lamborghini founded a business making farm tractors from reconfigured surplus military machines, near Bologna, Italy.
He later expanded into other ventures, including manufacturing air-conditioning and heating systems.
He had bought an expensive Ferrari, but was unhappy with some of the mechanical workings of the car.
After several frustrating trips to the Ferrari factory things came to a head.
Ferrari told Lamborghini that there was nothing wrong with the car and that he was actually the problem.
Lamborghini had been insulted, and he decided that he could build a better car than Ferrari, so he founded the Lamborghini car company.
Lamborghini used top end designers some of whom had worked for Ferrari at one time.
From the first model that Lamborghini produced, his cars have been considered one of the best high end sports cars in the world.
The company's first model, launched in 1963, was the Lamborghini 350 GTV, a two-seater coupe with a V12 engine.
Ferruccio Lamborghini died on February 20, 1993, at the age of 76.

Q: What does FIAT stand for?
A: Fix It Again Tomorrow
Demand for expensive utes and US pick-ups has remained strong in the first half of May, following an initial recovery in the last two weeks of April.
Many dealers are now scrambling to get more new generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pick-ups before the next shipments arrive, as production of the left-hand-drive source vehicles has been delayed by the COVID-19 lockdowns in North America.
Showroom stock of the Ford Ranger ute – Australia’s second-biggest selling vehicle outright – is starting to look patchy and some dealers are concerned they will run out in the lead-up to the end of June.
The two Thailand factories that produce the Ford Ranger only went back online on Monday, after a six-week break.
The two Thailand factories that produce the Toyota HiLux restarted last week after a four-week break, but dealers said that model was in good supply, even though demand has already started to pick up.
Many small businesses are taking advantage of the Federal Government’s $150,000 instant asset tax write-off scheme – due to expire on June 30, the end of this financial year.
The temporary tax advantage – which enables companies and sole traders to claim the full amount of business use this financial year rather than spreading the expense over several years – varies depending on the type of vehicle and the level of work use.
Finance companies and other lending institutions are starting to ease some of their restrictions after reportedly knocking back more applications than they were approving in the grip of the coronavirus crisis.
