The company was founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini. He actually started the company because he hated Enzo Ferrari (founder of Ferrari) on a personal basis.
As told by Ferruccio Lamborghini's son, Ferruccio Lamborghini went to meet Enzo Ferrari at the Ferrari factory to complain about the quality of the clutch in his Ferrari 250 GT. An infuriated Enzo Ferrari sent him away telling him to go drive his tractors because he was not able to drive cars. Lamborghini went back to his factory to have the Ferrari's clutch dismantled and found that the clutch in the Ferrari was a product of the manufacturer who supplied the clutches used in Lamborghini tractors. Lamborghini installed a stronger clutch from his factory's warehouse into his Ferrari and solved the clutch failure.
Furious with Enzo Ferrari's arrogant and aloof manner, Ferruccio Lamborghini promised himself he would never own another Ferrari and would beat Ferrari at his own game by creating a superior sports car of his own[citation needed].
Ferruccio decided that his car was to have a V12 engine. The talented engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini, was assigned to produce the blueprint. Bizzarrini had worked for Ferrari as an engineer and had experience with the development of the Ferrari V12. The new engine had 4 camshafts, a short stroke, and 2 big bore valves per cylinder. The engine developed 350 horsepower (260 kW). The engine featured aluminum construction, a seven main bearing crankshaft, forged aluminum pistons, and camshafts with their own half-engine-speed sprocket with silent chain. The body was designed by Franco Scaglione. Born under the sign of the Taurus, Ferruccio Lamborghini used the bull as the badge to mark his new automobile. Hope this helps!
