Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his car company in 1963 in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy — directly motivated, legend has it, by an insult from Enzo Ferrari. Ferruccio, already a successful tractor manufacturer, was told by Ferrari that a tractor maker had no business telling him how to build a sports car. Lamborghini's response was the 350 GT and ultimately the Miura — the world's first supercar. Lamborghini today under Volkswagen Group represents the pinnacle of drama and excess in Italian automotive design.
