A person who has greatly changed the fate of Lamborghini, that is the founder of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari who is no longer a legend.


Felchio and Lamborghini who founded Lamborghini were from wealthy farmers and had experience as an air force mechanic.


After the end of the Second World War, Fercio will make great success, including a project to remodel trucks paid by the military for civilian use in order to respond to the rapidly increasing truck demand.


Then, based on the airplane released by the Air Force this time ......


Started producing tractors. Especially, we used high-priced gasoline at the time only when starting up the engine and warming up, and then putting a big hit by installing an engine that can be driven with cheap light oil.


This makes Ferrucio a millionaire.


Ferrucio, with a lot of money in hand, will get a large expensive car one after another. In such a situation, it is said that changed his fate, a high performance model called "250 GT" which Ferraris were producing.


However, Ferrucio's 250 GT was hit by an engine trouble.


The place where such Ferrucio visited ......


What Enzo Ferrari himself is.


However, Enzo responded to Ferrucio when he talked to himself, "There are no problems with the car, it's a problem with the driver, you should concentrate on the work of the tractor."


Ferruccio is furious with this. And we decide to develop high performance car to outstrip Ferrari.


Ferrucio hires an engineer who worked at Ferrari ......


I order you to make a car superior to the old nest Ferrari.


And what was invented was "production started in 1964"Lamborghini · 350 GT". It is said to have boasted a speed to surpass Ferrari with a 270 horsepower engine.


After that, Ferrari and Lamborghini have been in history as the two prestigious super car makers in Italy.


In other words, it is anecdotal that Enoko Ferrari and Ferrucio / Lamborghini's feuds were the reasons for the foundation of Lamborghini, but in reality it is a theory that this is a posterity fableship. According to one theory it is said that Enzo and Ferrucio were a friendly relationship, it seems that such anecdotes will be born in the background of the prestigious brand that attracts people's longing.
