Ferruccio Lamborghini opened in 1963.
He was the owner of tractor factory, and a rich man.
He bought a car, a Ferrari.
However, he found some faults with the Ferrari¡¯s transmission.
He complained to the company, but his complaint was obstinately refused.
This gave him a great idea, "I will make better car than the Ferrari."
It took a long time, but at last he made a super car.
Today, this car is called a Lamborghini.
The first super car of Lamborghini was called Miura and was released in 1966.
At full speed, it ran around 280km per hour and had 350 HP(Horse Power).
It¡¯s zero back speed was 6.2 seconds.
After Miura had shown, many people liked Miura.
So Lamborghini made the ¡®Miura sv/j¡¯ and the ¡®Miura Roadster.'
In 2006, a Miura concept car was shown.
It was sold at 20,000 dollars a car in 1966, now a days at 118,000 dollars it was sold.
After Miura was released, Lamborghini made a next model, ¡®Countach¡¯ in 1974.
