What Is Automobili Lamborghini?
Ferruccio Lamborghini made his fortune building tractors from 1948. Later, he decided he could build a better grand tourer than the cars he owned, so he founded his car company in 1963. The first model, the 350 GT, went on sale in 1964, and then the Miura followed in 1966.
However, the 1970s oil crisis hit the company hard. Ferruccio sold his shares between 1972 and 1974, and after that the company went bankrupt in 1978. It then passed through several owners, including Chrysler from 1987 to 1994, until Audi bought it in 1998.
Under Audi, Automobili Lamborghini grew from a few hundred cars a year to a record 10,747 deliveries in 2025. Meanwhile, the Urus SUV and plug-in hybrids have broadened the range. In 2026 Lamborghini also changed its first electric car, the Lanzador, into a plug-in hybrid due around 2029.
