Plot
Lamborghini follows "the long life of the iconic entrepreneur, from the manufacturing of tractors at the start of his career and then on to designing and building the Lamborghini cars that ultimately defined his profound legacy".
The film portrays the life of Ferruccio Lamborghini, who was born the son of winegrowers. Ferruccio and his friend Matteo like to race cars. Ferruccio has a vision of efficient tractors. His father takes out a credit on the farm to get the starting capital for Ferruccio's workshop. Using used parts, Ferruccio and Matteo build their first tractor.
Ferruccio's first love, Clelia Monti, dies during the birth of their son. He marries Annita Borgatti, whom his friend Matteo actually fancied. Matteo and Ferruccio go their separate ways from then on.
A few years later, Ferruccio has made a fortune with his tractors. One day, Ferruccio tells Enzo Ferrari that the weak point of Ferrari's racing cars is the gearbox, but Ferrari only scoffs at him. Ferruccio therefore plans to build a sports car himself and present it at the Geneva Motor Show. Together with engineers and a designer who had previously worked for other car manufacturers, they build the Lamborghini 350 GT. The movie ends with the construction of the Lamborghini Miura.
