Founding and early years

Automobili Lamborghini was established on May 7, 1963, in Sant’Agata Bolognese. The 350 GTV prototype debuted at the Turin Motor Show that October, and the first production car, the 350 GT, followed at the 1964 Geneva Motor Show with a 3.5-liter V12 rated at 270 CV.

The Miura arrived in 1966 with a transverse rear V12, and the Countach prototype appeared at Geneva in 1971 before production of the LP400 began in 1974.[1]

Ownership changes

Ferruccio Lamborghini sold 51% of the company to Georges-Henri Rossetti in 1972 and retired from industrial life in 1974. The Mimran Group took over in 1981, Chrysler acquired the company from Mimran in 1987, and Chrysler sold it to the Indonesian investment fund Megatech in 1994.

In 1998 Lamborghini became part of the Audi-Volkswagen Group. The first new model of that era was the 2001 Murciélago, followed by the V10 Gallardo in 2003.[1]

Current lineup

Lamborghini’s company profile names the Revuelto, Urus SE and Temerario as its current models. The Urus, launched in 2018, was the brand’s first Super SUV; the Urus SE and Temerario arrived in 2024.[2][1]

Factory support for classic cars

Lamborghini Polo Storico opened in spring 2015 at the Sant’Agata Bolognese headquarters. It keeps the factory archive, offers a Certification of Authenticity supervised by an experts committee, restores cars, and supplies original spare parts for classic models from the 350 GT to the Diablo.[3]
