About Us
The history of ‘Lamborghini Automobili’
officially starts in 1963. Nevertheless, we must consider the far-off roots of
this event, and they are the roots of Ferruccio
Lamborghini. Born in 1916, this capable, impetuous, strong-willed Taurus was
the leading character in the foundation of the company and the early phases of
its extraordinary history.
In retrospect, 1964 was an extraordinary year. The 350 GT was
born. The immediate and almost inevitable offshoot of the 350 GT, of which 120
were built, was the 400 GT. Its engine was increased to a four-litre model and it featured the first gearbox designed
in-house by Lamborghini. Based initially on the two-seater body, which was
later developed into the 400 GT 2+2 with two occasional seats behind the two
regular ones, the 400 GT reached the respectable overall production figure of
273 units.
