Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A is an Italian brand and manufacturer of luxury sports cars owned by the Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary brand division Audi. Headquartered in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy and founded in October 1963 by Italian manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini, the automobile manufacturer first gained worldwide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coupé, which established rear-mid engine and rear wheel drive as the standard layout for that era of high-performance motor cars. Lamborghini grew rapidly in its first decade before a sales plunge during in 1973 during the worldwide financial downturn and oil crisis. After 1973, the company’s ownership changed hands three times and even bankrupted in 1978. In 1998, Lamborghini was sold to the Volkswagen Group, where it has since regained its position as the preeminent luxury sports car manufacturer with new and successful products and model lines. Currently, Lamborghini produces the V12-powered Aventador, the V10-powered Huracán, and three special limited edition models–the Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse, the Veneno Roadster, and the LP 720-4 50° Anniversario.
