A wealthy industrialist who made a fortune after the war in the construction of agricultural equipment, Ferruccio Lamborghini appreciated sports cars. He drives a Mercedes 300 SL, Maserati 3500 GT or Ferrari 250 GT on a daily basis. The latter causes him recurring clutch problems. Annoyed, he complained to Enzo Ferrari himself, who replied: “Lamborghini, you may be able to drive a tractor, but you will never be able to drive a Ferrari properly.” On July 1, 1963, Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his sports car brand. They will never speak to each other again.
