’64 Lamborghini 350 GT
The story goes that Ferruccio Lamborghini, the owner of a successful tractor manufacturing company, owned several Ferrari 250s. Lamborghini grew frustrated with the cars’ flaws, most notably with their clutches, and contacted Enzo Ferrari to discuss what could be done to improve them. Ferrari responded rudely to Lamborghini’s complaints, which led the tractor magnate to begin producing sports cars out of spite, going so far as to hire former Ferrari engineers to aid this work. The result was the ’64 Lamborghini 350 GT, a car that proved so popular it allowed the company to establish itself as a rival to Ferrari to this day.
