In 1963, Ferruccio Lamborghini established Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. in the town of Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. The company's first car, the Lamborghini 350 GT, was introduced in 1964. It was a two-door, two-seat grand tourer powered by a 3.5-liter V12 engine.
The Lamborghini 350 GT was well-received by critics and customers alike, and it helped to establish Lamborghini as a serious contender in the high-performance sports car market. Over the next few years, Lamborghini introduced a number of new models, including the Miura, the Espada, and the Countach.
These cars helped to solidify Lamborghini's reputation for building some of the most powerful and stylish sports cars in the world. However, the company also faced a number of challenges, including financial difficulties and management changes.
Ferruccio Lamborghini sold the company to Chrysler Corporation in 1973. Chrysler eventually sold Lamborghini to a group of investors in 1987, and it has since changed ownership several times.
Today, Lamborghini is owned by the Volkswagen Group, and it continues to produce some of the most high-performance sports cars in the world.
