Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. was founded on May 7, 1963, by Ferruccio Lamborghini in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. He aimed to build refined grand tourers to rival Ferrari, unveiling the 350 GT in 1964 and then the Miura in 1966, often hailed as the world’s first true supercar for its mid-engine layout and breathtaking performance. After a turbulent period under Chrysler and multiple ownership changes, Lamborghini found lasting stability under Audi in 1998. That backing led to halo cars like the Diablo and Murciélago and fueled the brand’s commercial breakthrough with the Urus SUV, launched December 2017 as a 2018 model and now its best-selling nameplate. Today Lamborghini’s lineup centers on the twin-turbo V8 Urus, the V10 Huracán Tecnica and the V12 Revuelto hybrid, while an all-electric ultra-GT is slated for 2030, underscoring its drive toward electrification and uncompromised performance.
