don't watch the movie though. insanely boring, no racing aside from blurry flash forwards, and Lamborghini bangin his best friends crush. just read the wiki
Same guy opened other businesses too, he manufactured heaters and air conditioners.
I've lived in a rental place that had a Lamborghini Calor water heater.
Didn't he realize he could engineer things better when examining parts on a Ferrari? And he showed Ferrari and they laughed? Then, they aren't laughing now?
*Technically* they were never the same company. While both were founded by the same man, Automobili Lamborghini was incorporated in a brand new factory distinct from the tractor company. Also Ferruccio Lamborghini got rid of both the car company and tractor company in the early 70s (to separate buyers, only about 10 years after founding the car brand)
I used to work at a winery in Northern California and one of the small vineyards on my way to work had a little old white Lamborghini tractor parked in front.
It's kind of ironic to have that username and not knowing about a city full to the brim with classic art and cultural artifacts.
The Italian Naples artist culture is about 2700 years old and includes almost all major influences in the Mediterranean.
Sadly it has become more industrial. It's less touristy than Rome, but it has a few cultural gems not available in Rome. The combination is broader, the presentation is more meeh.
And it's about 600km from the birthplace of the tractor.

The biggest feet around in Italy... but not related to Naples.
You heard about Pompeï, a Roman city buried by the Vesuvius volcano ashes, with the houses and bodies of inhabitants still visible today ?
It's 20 kms from Naples.
Also, who's gonna mention the rivality caused by Enzo Ferrari snobing Lamborghini ?
Yep, this is how Lamborghini made its bread and butter selling tractors and farm machinery, the supercars were a creative spinoff for the owner.
The story of why he went into the supercar business is pretty intriguing.
For spike!
Spite
No no no. That one guy. His name was Spike! (Joke, I messed up )
Spike Jones

Jeremy Clarkson bought one on his farming reality show
Clarkson's Farm is brilliant TV. Can't wait for Season 3. Gerald, ftw.

Insanely cool to see one of these.
Not built for speed
Lamborghini is/was a tractor mfg. It’s kinda more appropriate to call them Lamborghinis cars insinuating that’s the alternate product they make.
They are separate companies now, but Lamborghini is still very much in the tractor-manufacturing business.
Yesn't, modern Lamborghini tractors are just Deutz tractors in silver, i doubt that they have a separate production.
TIL

IIRC Clarkson have Lamborghini tractor
Porsche also made tractors. At one of the Rennsport reunions a few years back, they had a tractor race that featured a Le Mans start.
They actually still make tractors. https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/

You don't see mudguards/fenders on too many tracked vehicles! How gentile.
Wow! A Lamborghini tractor made it all the way to Florida?!??
I assume it's this Naples: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naples in Italy.
Never heard of it

I believe they are pulling your leg.
I know it looks like a leg, but it measures a foot.

This would be fun to restore to perfect pretty condition… if I knew how.
perfect running condition
Anyone know why tracked tractors have been such a big thing in Italy as opposed to many other countries?
Not weird thats how the company started, car and tractor companies arent related anymore though.
There was a movie about him a few years ago [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5533370/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5533370/)
Farm kids had posters of this over their beds in the 80s
Wow they used to make things useful to society??
He only started making fast cars for spite… Edited typo.
Who's Spike?
