Lamborghini....

Automobili Lamborghini, commonly referred to as Lamborghini, is an Italian manufacturer of sports cars, based in the small Italian village of Sant'Agata Bolognese, near Bologna Which is also in the region of modena. The company was founded in 1963 by businessman Ferruccio Lamborghini, who owned a successful tractor factory, Lamborghini Trattori.
The reason he set up so close to Ferrari is because he wanted to be a direct competitor, as he bought a ferrari and was very unsatisfied and knew he could do better and set out to put ferrari out of buisness. Although unsuccsessful so far in putting ferrari out of buisness he has been extreemely succsessful in taking a large chunk of the super car market, also ugely cotributing to the italian economy up to the point of Audi buying over the company.

Although still produced in the same region of italy, Lamborghini now has its buisness headquaters in germany along side the Audi's main buildings.
