"Ferruccio Lamborghini began his automobile company, Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini, as a powerful and very wealthy man. His goal was to build a sports car capable of competing with Ferrari. In 1963, he purchased a large plot of land just outside of Bologna, Italy, on which he built a large, ultramodern factory. The first model--the 350 GTV--debuted at the Turin Auto Show in November 1963 and it was very well received. Today, Lamborghinis are some of the sportiest luxury vehicles on the market. They combine innovative design with high-end performance to become one of the most sought-after vehicles money can buy"-- Provided by publisher.
