Ferruccio Lamborghini Entrepreneur and Businessman

Lamborghini was born in a small house in Northern Italy on April 18, 1916. His parents were farmers. As a young man, Lamborghini was drawn more to farming machinery rather than the farming lifestyle itself. His parents would often find him taking machines apart and putting them back together. He was so interested in how the machinery worked, he even built a metal casting shop in one of the barns on the farm.

His parents saw how much he loved working with machines, and probably to save the family farm, decided to send him off to a technical school. After completing his studies, he entered the Italian Air Force in World War II. There he became the main mechanic for the military vehicles. He got famous for being able to fix military vehicles with very little replacement parts and supplies. After the war he returned to his hometown and started converting old war surplus material into much needed tractors for the local farmers.

Lamborghini tractor business was inaugurated in a small garage, but the business got really successful and had to move into larger premises soon thereafter.

The tractor business made him a very wealthy man, and he started another factory building air-conditioning and central heating equipment. This additional enterprise made Ferruccio Lamborghini even more money and soon he became one of the wealthiest men in Italy.

To celebrate his tractor business he bought a Ferrari. But after buying the car he felt quite disappointed with some of the features including inferior clutches and noisy gearbox for which, as a loyal Ferrari customer, he went to meet the owner Enzo Ferrari.

He went to him with his suggestions on features he apparently felt needed refinement and immediate attention but proud Enzo shrugged off all his complains and rejected even to consider his offers boasting he probably didn’t need any advice from a tractor owner.

So what led to Lamborghini’s astounding success was his own personal ability. Lamborghini followed his passion, building a company around something he did very well, and something that was by no measure easy to do. Using his experience in the army, Lamborghini turned a small single man company into a sports car giant in only 20 years.

Why Ferruccio Lamborghini is my favorite:

He built the most amazing super cars in the world.

He started as a mechanic who used old parts to make vehicles work.

The first tractor that he made was from the parts of old military vehicles.

He started to make tractors and they were heavy duty.

He had such talent that he made his own cars. This was due to the faults he found in the Ferrari he bought and the owner Enzo Ferrari didn’t listened to him. So he made cars that are much better than any other and are extremely powerful. Their design and aggressive looks are unmatchable.

Unlike the owner of Ferrari he was always pleased to meet people who appreciate the cars that bear his name.

Till today Lamborghini cars are the best in the world.
