14. We Have Ferrari to Thank
To be blunt, Enzo Ferrari could come across as a bit of an ass at times. It was this characteristic of the famed Italian car maker that actually drove Lamborghini straight into car development in the early 1960s. One of his biggest gripes Lamborghini had with Ferrari was the poor clutch assembly used. When he went to Enzo to discuss the matter things turned sour quickly. We imagine it didn’t go over well when Enzo was basically told his cars had rubbish parts. In a nutshell, Ferrari allegedly told Lamborghini to stick with making tractors and leave the car industry alone. Lamborghini took this as a challenge and the rest is history.
