Sam Lamborghini, after the founding of the company, owned by her 9 more years. The current owner of the company - Audi AG.

In the early 1960s, Ferruccio Lamborghini was the owner of several companies, and could afford to buy expensive cars. At various times, he had Mercedes 300SL, a few Maserati 3500 GT, Jaguar E-type. He also owned several Ferrari 250 GT, different versions. But in every car he found some flaws.

There are several versions about the reasons for which Lamborghini founded his own firm. All these versions are reduced to a conflict between Enzo Ferrari (Ferrari owned companies) and Lamborghini. The most popular version, told by Ferruccio Lamborghini's son, says that Lamborghini went to the factory to Enzo Ferrari to complain about the quality of the clutch in my car the Ferrari 250 GT. Enzo Lamborghini sent back with the desire to continue to engage in tractors because in cars, and even more sporting, Lamborghini does not understand anything. Lamborghini went back to the factory, disassembled the transmission in his Ferrari 250 GT and discovered that the manufacturer of many of the same components as in the Lamborghini tractors. At its warehouse he found a suitable replacement, and the problem was solved after assembly.

Ferruccio decided that his car will be the V12 engine, this engine was also chosen for economic reasons. Ferruccio attracted to the project talented engineer Giotto Bitstsarini (Giotto Bizzarrini), who had previously developed for the V12 Ferrari.

The prototype car Lamborghini 350 GTV was presented to the public at an auto show in Turin in October 1963. In March 1964, he was shown the first Lamborghini 350 GT production car.
