Lamborghini: 45 years of the raging bull
Lamborghini: 45 years of the raging bull
http://autos.sympatico.ca/photos-vid...he-raging-bull The world owes the birth of Lamborghini to Enzo Ferrari and his snobbery. As the story goes, Ferrruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer in northern Italy, when to visit Enzo when he was having problems with the clutch of his Ferrari 250 GT. He came bringing advice for improvement but Enzo simply dismissed him. Lamborghini then came to the conclusion that Ferrari wasn’t doing anything that he himself couldn’t do better. The rest is a wonderful, sonorous V12 history. I heard stories about these and infact Remo used to laugh around about it whenever I brought this up But its official, lamborghini is ferrari's left nut Last edited by M3 vert; 04-05-2010 at 04:49 PM.. |

Drive one and you might change your mind.I have had that pleasure and I was very disapointed.The Galardo was the only Lambo that I have driven that I could actually enjoy and drive like a more normal car.The cars with the prancing horse drive a lot better and do not feel like a poorly put together kit car!

You know I never looked into this but why did they go to Audi to build their V10 in the Gallardo?

The bold part I was aware of. I just wasnt aware that Audi had some ownership in Lambo. Still interesting to see that Lambo used Audi for the engine...

Audi doesn't have some ownership in Lamborghini, they own all of it. Lamborghini is part of the VW group of companies (which also owns Audi).

I mean his old store on steels was just peanuts when compared to this one! European AutoBody is partly owned by himself and the De Luca Family |

The Diablo was the last of them lambos built with the passion, panache of the bull when it was a stand-alone company. I may have a change of heart when i drive the diablo, but the shape is just epic! And ofcourse the ferrari drives better anydays, hence the comment in the beginning Because ironically the 250GT during enzos time was and still is one of the best ferrari GT cars built to date and is the most EXPENSIVE used car to be ever sold! http://www.luxist.com/2010/02/11/rar...ered-for-sale/ So I dont blame Enzo for making that comment anyways, because Ferruciuo Lamborghini deserved it |
