Lamborghini

For decades, the Lamborghini has stood out in the public imagination as one of the finest sports cars money can buy. The name has nearly become a synonym for the kind of car that is not simply a status symbol, but also a high performance sports car. Today, the Lamborghini brand is known around the world--and the company came about from an interesting exchange.While there are several versions of the story floating around, it's quite clear that Ferruccio Lamborghini had been personally offended by Enzo Ferrari. Lamborghini, then a tractor manufacturer who was simply a sports car enthusiast, resolved to build a better car than his new rival, and created one of the most consistently breathtaking lines of sports cars ever seen. The company continues to grow today, and actively recruits the best designers, such as their current star Luc Donckerwolke.Since its first models in 1963, Lamborghini has produced some of the most memorable sports cars in the world. The Lamborghini Diablo was immensely popular in the 1990s and continue to be favored among sports car enthusiasts. However, the most sought-after Lamborghini is probably the Countach, which popularized the sleek, angled look of a sports car with a name that's an Italian word for 'Wow!'The current Lamborghini line looks to be creating more future classics to this day. The Murcielago and Gallardo models are the company's current flagship models, and these speedy, two-door, four-wheel drive vehicles are popular the world over. It is amazing that a heated business rivalry could give birth to some of the most eye-catching, expensive, and high-speed vehicles the world has ever seen.
