The Man Behind the Legend: Who is Lamborghini?

His dissatisfaction with the car he drives, his displeasure with his manufacturer, Ferrari, and the fact that he created his brand on the words of Enzo is a story that deserves the movie.

However, I can say that the script was poorly written, the scenes were shot sloppy, and the story was disconnected and meaningless in some places...

Ferruccio Lamborghini (28 April 1916 – 20 February 1993) was an Italian automobile designer, soldier, inventor, mechanic, engineer, winemaker, industrialist, and businessman who created Lamborghini Trattori in 1948 and the Automobili Lamborghini in 1963, a maker of high-end sports cars in Sant'Agata Bolognese.

As I said, I didn't sit at the keyboard to critique the movie. Just by the way, I wanted to tell you about Lamborghini and the legendary team behind it. Because Ferruccio Lamborghini, although he was the creator of an important brand, did not actually make the cars that were the brand's starting point.

Lamborghini states that he wanted to produce tractors instead of taking over his father's farm after he returned from the military. Although his father opposed him and said, “What do you know about producing tractors? What if no one wants to buy your tractors?” Although he does not "encourage" him with words like, Ferruccio has put it in his mind. In the military, he was involved with vehicles and worked as a mechanic.

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of luxury sports cars and SUVs based in Sant'Agata Bolognese. The company is owned by the Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary Audi.

“Lamborghini Trattori”, which was founded in 1948 with his friend Matteo, produces its first tractors from scrap war materials. The engines and differentials of trucks and military vehicles they take from the scrapyard are used in constructing cheap but powerful tractors they call "Carioca". Lamborghini and Matteo developed a fuel injector that will allow the tractor's engine to run on both petrol and, if desired, diesel. Then they expand the business and Lamborghini starts using luxury cars. Like Ferrari... However, he is not satisfied with the clutch of the vehicle and solves the problem by replacing it with a tractor clutch. He tells this to Enzo Ferrari, whom he caught leaving his factory one day. “We can work together, we can produce better cars,” says Enzo. speaks of people like...

Seeing that moment as a milestone, Ferruccio starts working to make better vehicles than Ferrari. This is the beginning of a never-ending rivalry between them. It brings together the best of the field.

They made their brand

Behind the "man behind the legend" is Lamborghini's legendary team... Giotto Bizzarrini, for example... Originally a Ferrari engineer, Bizzarrini took part in the creation of the Ferrari 250 GTO. Lamborghini hired him to develop the brand's first V12 engine. He built such a magnificent engine that the engine engineered by Bizzarrini was developed and used until the production of the Murcielago ended in 2010. Bizzarrini left the team and later created his brand. Just like Lamborghini, he created elite sports cars under his eponymous brand. However, it was not very popular.

Giampaolo Dallara

As Lamborghini's first technical chief, Dallara was responsible for engineering key models such as Espada and Miura. He was a person who managed to convince the fussy Lamborghini and even did things beyond his expectations. After Lamborghini, he also established his brand. Dallara made a name for itself with cars that won victories on the racetracks. He specialized in racing car engineering and most recently launched a super sports car. Marcello Gandini... Many of Lamborghini's legendary models such as Miura and Countach had his signature. He didn't create a brand himself, he was a freelance designer.

Bob Wallace...

A New Zealander came to Lamborghini to ask for a job and stumbled upon the boss, who was the brand's legendary test pilot from 1963 to 1975. Wallace, who laid down the test principles that would shed light on the R&D department in his period, was also the person who conveyed the aspects of the vehicles that needed to be developed after each test to the engineers. Being a racing fan, he created sporty accessories from “waste parts” in his spare time with Ferruccio Lamborghini. Like Miura “Jota”, Jarama “Bob”, Urraco “Rallye”...

And Franco Scaglione, who joined the company at Ferruccio's insistence when he was a fashion designer and helped design a magnificent car like the 350 GTV, engineer Giulio Alfieri, who pioneered the brand's use of composite materials with the Countach, and others. The team that makes innovative cars...
