Lamborghini

Short answer: Automobili Lamborghini was founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, who had made his fortune building tractors, to compete with established grand touring brands such as Ferrari. It is based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, and has been owned by the Volkswagen Group through Audi since 1998.

The 1966 Miura set the pattern for mid-engined supercars, and the Countach introduced the scissor doors that later models such as the Aventador kept. The Huracán, built from 2014 to 2024, used a naturally aspirated V10. The footage shows Lamborghini cars, with the presenter.
