Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of luxury sports cars which is owned by the
German Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary Audi. Lamborghini's production facility and headquarters are located in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.
Automobile Lamborghini S.p.A, commonly referred to as Lamborghini, is
the Italian manufacturer of expensive luxury sports cars, known for
producing high-performance, stylish and high speed and two-door,
two-seated sport cars that serve as a great competition to Ferrari.
The company is named after its founder
Ferruccio Lamborghini who was a
successful tractor manufacturer before he got interested in sports
cars. It was his interest in sports cars that made him buy many
different high-performance cars including both Maseratis and Ferraris.
He founded his own company in 1963, which used to be an independent
company, but now it is a subsidiary of the German company Audi AG.
Lamborghini went bankrupt in 1978 and was sold to Chrysler a long time
before Audi AG became the sole owner of the company in 1988.
Lamborghini has rolled out models such as the four-seat Espada and
various V8 sports cars, but it is their mid engine super cars that have
gained significant popularity.
