built 658 days ago
As told by Ferruccio Lamborghini's son, Ferruccio Lamborghini went to meet Enzo Ferrari at the Ferrari factory to complain about the quality of the clutch in his Ferrari 250 GT[3]. An infuriated Enzo Ferrari sent him away telling him to go drive his tractors because he was not able to drive cars. Lamborghini went back to his factory to have the Ferrari's clutch dismantled and found that the clutch in the Ferrari was a product of the manufacturer who supplied the clutches used in Lamborghini tractors. Lamborghini installed a stronger clutch from his factory's warehouse into his Ferrari and solved the clutch failure.

After the war, Italy was plagued with scarcity; one such shortage involved tractors. Sensing an opportunity, Lamborghini purchased surplus military machines and reconfigured them as tractors. It was a canny move that resulted in a thriving business for the young entrepreneur, one that quickly made him a very wealthy man.

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.
