Lamborghini

Italy · Founded 1963

Born from a tractor magnate's grudge against Enzo Ferrari. Still building poster cars for bedroom walls.

Heritage

Ferruccio Lamborghini made his fortune building tractors. When his Ferrari kept breaking clutches, he complained to Enzo, who told him to stick to tractors. Ferruccio took that personally. He hired away Ferrari's best engineers and set out to build a better GT car. The 350 GT proved he could do it. The Miura proved he could do the impossible — a mid-engine supercar that looked like it was designed by gods. The Countach doubled down on the drama. Every Lamborghini since has carried that DNA: outrageous, excessive, and utterly unconcerned with subtlety. Ferraris are for drivers. Lamborghinis are for people who want everyone to know they've arrived.

If you grew up in the '80s, you know exactly what a Countach is. Marcello Gandini's design at Bertone was so radical that even Lamborghini's own engineers wondered if it could be built. The scissor doors alone would have made it iconic. But the whole package — the wedge profile, the NACA ducts, the massive wheel arches — created the template for what a supercar was supposed to look like. The name supposedly came from a Piedmontese exclamation of astonishment. The evolution from the clean LP400 to the cartoonish 5000 QV (with its bolt-on fender flares) split enthusiasts. But every version was unmistakably a Countach, and that was the point.
