Lamborghini began as a tractor company
The sports cars you see today bearing Lamborghini’s name were not in the picture when the company was established in 1948 by the founder Ferruccio Lamborghini. His intention was to manufacture and sell tractors. He ventured into sportscars several years down the line.
Unknown to many people, Lamborghini is still in the business of manufacturing tractors. But these tractors are not manufactured under Volkswagen Group which Lamborghini is now part of. You can find the tractors in some European countries as well as some countries in the Middle East.

It was established as a challenge to prove a point
The founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, was content with producing only tractors initially. A lover of exotic cars, he had quite a number of Ferrari cars in his fleet. However, he noticed that these cars often developed gearbox and clutch problems.
Ferruccio had the opportunity of meeting the founder of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari. He told him about the problems he was experiencing with his Ferrari cars. Not pleased with this, Enzo told Ferruccio that he was not qualified to advise him about sports cars since he was just a tractor manufacturer. Ferruccio felt insulted by this. To prove a point to Enzo, he started producing sportscars. Today, Lamborghini sportscars are known as some of the best in the segment and are rivals to Ferrari sportscars.

Its logo signifies its founder's birth sign
Lamborghini’s logo is a raging bull. The raging bull is a representation of Ferruccio’s astrology birth sign. Most of the company’s production vehicles are christened after fighting bulls, save for the LM002, Sesto Elemento and Countach.

It has a minimum of eight-cylinder powered engines
Producing all that power does not happen by chance. Lamborghini has strict operational guidelines that it sticks to in order to maintain its high engine power. You would never find a Lamborghini vehicle with less than an eight-cylinder engine. It accommodates as high as 12 cylinders in some of its vehicles.
The eight-cylinder minimum engine could change in the near future as emission standards in the automotive industry are tightening.
