This is the car that started it all. Ferrucio Lamborghini made his fortune selling tractors after the Second World War, and as a lover of all things fast and furious, he owned a Ferrari. Legend has it that his beloved sportscar developed a clutch problem, but when he took it back to Enzo Ferrari with a suggestion on how to improve the clutch, Enzo insulted him by saying, “What does a tractor maker know about supercars? Go back to your farm and leave the supercars to me.” Lamborghini, being a wealthy and proud Italian, wasn’t taking this kind of treatment. He took his Ferrari home, fixed the clutch himself using tractor parts, and immediately started making plans to develop a new car company to knock Ferrari off its perch. (Gizmag)
