Ferruccio Lamborghini made his fortune building tractors from the wreckage of the Second World War. When the clutch on his Ferrari kept failing he went to complain, and by his own account Enzo Ferrari told him that a tractor maker would never handle a Ferrari properly. This episode follows the whole story: the clutch his mechanics took apart, the factory at Sant'Agata Bolognese, the show car with no working engine, the three young men who built the Miura in their spare time, the night in Monte Carlo, the Countach, the cancelled tractor orders that drained his money, the oil crisis, and the sale of the company that still carries his name.
Founder Stories tells the story of one founder per episode, told plainly and in order.
