My fave Lambo . . .

[Russ H]

C'mon, guys-- I'm a contractor.

What did ya expect? An LP640? :smxF:

(I realize the Lambo fans on these boards know the story. But how many others here know that Mr. Lamborghini originally built tractors for a living?. He owned a Ferrari and didn't like the clutch. Met Enzo Ferrari to tell him about it, and started building sports cars shortly thereafter!)

Do they have it in Yellow? or that orange color like MJ's lambo?

Photoshop.

It's a bee-yootiful thang.

PS The original pic was gray-- I "greened" it.

Evidently they are still made:

(sorry, can't post the picture because I currently have 30% of the required 10 posts)

Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A. was bought in 1972 by Same Deutz-Fahr, which continues to make them under the Lamborghini name.

I believe that Ferarri was also in the same genre when he started making sports cars. I remember reading a quote something to the effect of "Same horsepower and a lot less wind resistant should make it really fast." I know I butchered it, maybe someone has the time to find the original quote

No Ferrari never made tractors, and I like to remind my friend who is a big Lambo fan of that every chance I get. LOL. Ferrari is a racing company that builds street cars to support that. Enzo never gave a damn about the street cars, they were just sold so he could keep racing. Enzo was racing for Alfa before starting his own company.

Supposidly they did/do build some good tractors.

Maybe this is the quote you were thinking of?
Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.
"Enzo Ferrari"

Back in the day, IMHO Maserati was the best Italian car. Sadly these days their isn't much left, they just use Ferrari bits, and the MC12 is an Enzo.

Yes, that was the quote! Thanks hatterasguy for the correct quote and some insight!

NP, I'm a bit of a Ferrari fan as you can tell.
