Ferruccio Lamborghini (April 28, 1916 – February 20, 1993) is the founder of the Lamborghini car company. He owned a successful manufacturing business during World War II that provided him with the means to purchase several sports cars, including a Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar E-Type, Maserati 3500GT, and a Ferrari 250 GT. He became a Ferrari enthusiast, and, after owning three 250 GT’s, he began to notice a common issue with the clutch of these models. He complained directly to the owner of the company, who took offense to his comments and told him that “the problem is not with the car, but rather, the driver”. Lamborghini was insulted by his remark and took it upon himself to form a car that would rival the Ferrari, which became the Lamborghini.
