Of course, like anything, everybody has their very own specific tastes when it comes to the world of exotic cars. Perhaps a company’s history and race pedigree is what attracts you to a particular brand. Maybe you like a certain car or manufacturer because their engines sound the best or their designs speak to you the most.

15. An Agricultural Start
Many car experts know offhand that Lamborghini was not initially a car company. Yes, in fact, Lamborghini first started out building tractors which can still be purchased to this day. The company’s founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini was a very skilled mechanic who originally worked for the Italian military during the Second World War. When the war ended and Ferruccio went home, he started building and maintaining tractors using all of the military surplus sitting around. Blessed with mechanical know-how and a growing fortune, Lamborghini eventually made the move into the automotive market in the early 1960s – with a little help from another famous Italian car maker.
