Few things in the world are as beautiful and stunning as a Lamborghini sports car. The aerodynamic low-cut design, the "scissor-doors´ that rise into the air, the sleek style and high polish along with an assortment of recognizable shapes - each of these qualities work together to make a Lamborghini a truly impressive work of art. Just glancing at one is enough to pique a person´s interest and make them want to know who created them and to discover their full history.

When asked what kind of man he was, Ferruccio Lamborghini once responded: "A normal chap. A man who likes creating things." Ferruccio became fascinated with mechanics at a young age and took a special interest in the tractor his father owned. Later he attended a technical school in Bologna, and then when WWII broke out he joined the Italian Air Force.

He dubbed the car "Testa dOro", which means Golden Head, due to the color of the bronze. In 1957, he and another driver raced the vehicle he built in the Mille Miglia, which is a race 1,000 miles long. After completing more than two-thirds, they crashed into the front of a cafe, and Ferruccio said he was through with racing.

Awhile later, Lamborghini encountered a mechanical problem with the clutch in his Ferrari, and he decided to pay a visit to Enzo Ferrari´s shop to report the problem. At this point, there are two versions as to what happened next. The first is that Enzo ...
