Ferruccio Lamborghini made his fortune making tractors and heating equipment. In 1962, he bought a factory in Sant’Agata, Italy, hired an engineer to spearhead design and development of a new sports car, and debuted his first prototype at the Turin Auto Show in November of 1963. The production Lamborghini 350 GT debuted in 1964 at Geneva, but it was the timeless Muira and unforgettable Countach that cemented Lamborghini in the annals of exotic car history. The Countach was also the first Lambo to wear the LP designation – in Italian, longitudinale posteriore – followed by digits representing engine displacement. On the Murcielago, the numbers refer to horsepower.
