2. THE ORIGINAL LAMBOS WERE TRACTORS: Lamborghini, the
company made tractors originally. After the war, the company’s founder saw
an emerging market for farming equipment and vehicles. This is when the
founder developed his first tractor made from parts of a former military vehicle.
The tractor was known as the ‘Carioca’ tractor.
Based on the success of this tractor, Ferruccio Lamborghini developed his first
company – Lamborghini Trattori.
3. LAMBOS ARE NAMED AFTER BULLS: Of several Lamborghini facts,
its association with the bull is most interesting. Most car manufacturers find a
name for their model following a recurring theme or unique set of features. In
Lamborghini’s case, the bull was the recurring theme.
Ferruccio Lamborghini was a Spanish bullfighting fan. He was an enthusiast
who enjoyed watching the game in his spare time. He really passionately
enjoyed bullfighting events and was a big fan of the powerful animal. He
equated this power to the power of his vehicles. Therefore, Lamborghini’s logo
is a raging bull – full of passion, power and prowess.
Moreover, the first model to use the bull theme was the Lamborghini Miura.
Miura is the name of a bull. Later on, several models of the Italian automotive
manufacturer were named after a famous bullfighting bull. Lamborghini
Aventador is also named after a bull known for its outstanding courage.
